Assessing the Impact of EV Mobility Patterns on Renewable Energy Oriented Charging Strategies

摘要

This paper investigates an individual optimization approach based on weekly empirical driving profiles from Germany for eight sociodemographic groups. The optimization objective of every electric vehicle (EV) is to maximize the charging amount of renewable energy by choosing smart charging (SC) times with the highest relative share of renewable generation. We observe that for every sociodemographic group the share of renewable energy in the charging demand can be increased by at least 83 %. We also see differences in the adoption potential depending on charging location (work charging slightiy increases the adoption rate) and weekly driving distance (longer distances lead to less charging flexibility).
