Electric Vehicle Load Forecasting using Data Mining Methods

摘要

The continuous growth and evolve of vehicle electrification causes the electric power systems to confront new challenges, since the load profile changes, and new parameters are being set. With the number of EVs gradually rising, problems may occur in technical characteristics of the network, like bus voltages and line congestion [1]. Therefore, it is necessary to develop EV management systems so as to prevent such phenomena. The effectiveness of such systems is heavily depended on the early knowledge of future demand. This knowledge can be provided by accurate EV load forecasting techniques. In this paper, the use of various data mining methods is examined and their performance in EV load forecasting is evaluated.
