Distributed Storage Capacity Modelling of EV Parking Lots

Abstract

As the power grids have been evolved to be more smarter, distributed energy resources (DER) and Electric vehicles (EVs) provide a new and effective storage capacity during peak loading times. EVs are the new and upcoming technology to electrify the transportation sector. EVs refer many advantages which one of them is expected to be an effective distributed energy capacity for future power systems. Furthermore, they give an opportunity to store the excess of generation from renewable energy in off-peak periods. It is clear that an effective storage can be achieved by aggregating the single EVs. Commercial car parks and parking lots (PL) of several public and private companies can be used for these purposes. The objective of this paper is to develop a probabilistic available capacity model of an EV PL by sequential Monte Carlo simulations that will in turn supply the distribution network.
