Description The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) poses significant challenges for future energy network operators as they could significantly increase electrical demand, particularly in urban areas. This project will assess how the impact of EVs could be limited. Of particular interest is the use of microgeneration technologies in buildings to counteract the demand due to EV charging. Microgeneration technologies include combined heat and power (CHP) and photovoltaics. CHP is of particular interest as the time at which it produces power used tends to coincide with peak EV charging times. So, using an existing load modelling tool, the aim of this project will be to assess the most effective strategies to limit demand increases from EVs. Key Objectives Key objectives are as follows. Review EVs and combined heat and power in buildings; Become familiar with the urban load modelling tool; Generate EV growth scenarios; Develop strategies to limit the impact of EVs on energy networks; Test strategies using the load modelling tool.
