Project abstract

The project will be a continuation of one of the existing PhD project in the Built Environment Energy Systems Group (BEESG), in which EV smart charging models for a single residential building and a community has been produced, and its impact on the residential LV distribution grid performance and hosting capacity has been assessed. As a continuation, the project will also be extended for workplace charging stations in cities and its impact in the city grid will also be evaluated. The project also aims to collect actual EV charging data from existing EV charging stations (EVCS) operators to validate the commonly used EV charging models.
