Electric Vehicles

The Electric Vehicles market has gone from barely noticed to one of the biggest stories in 2008/09.

This microsite aims at gathering information on the solutions available for electric vehicles, their batteries and the necessary charging infrastructure. The challenges, opportunites and the role Electric Vehicles can play on decarbonizing the economy will be analysed here.

Intelligent E-Transportation Management

By HDK / Published on Fri, 2010-01-15 16:35

This paper describes the performance of the network of a typical future residential concept area, as has been studied in the Intelligent E-Transportation Management project. Several scenarios have been elaborated by load flow simulations. The study investigated what level of introduction of electric vehicles, heat pumps, photovoltaic systems and micro combined heat and power plants is feasible in this network. Possible overload situations are examined and the opportunities of demand side management for the power grid are investigated.

Mini-Course on Future Electricity Grids - Session 2/2

By Fernando Nuno / Published on Tue, 2010-01-12 15:46

The European power system has changed considerably in the last 15 years. The liberalisation and unbundling of the electricity market has led to increased international power flows and reduced influence of the system operators. Meanwhile, renewable and other small-scale uncontrolled and variable energy sources are being installed in the system.
