Methods and systems that provide temporal-spatial forecasts of load demand

摘要

Method and system for predicting temporal-spatial distribution of load demand on an electric grid due to a plurality of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is described. The method includes creating an EV load demand (EVLD) model for a Region of Interest (ROI) serviced by the electric grid, wherein the EVLD model integrates an EV model and a transport simulator simulating EV traffic conditions for the ROI. Further, the method includes computing the load demand in time and space in terms of State of Charge (SOC) of a battery for each EV among the plurality of EVs in the ROI, based on the EVLD model. Furthermore, the method includes aggregating the computed the load demand, in terms of the SOC, of each EV in time domain and space domain to create a temporal-spatial impact of the load demand by the plurality of EVs on the electric grid for the ROI.
