From PV to EV: Mapping the Potential for Electric Vehicle Charging with Solar Energy in Europe

Christophe Ballif, Alejandro Pena Bello, Noémie Alice Yvonne Ségolène Jeannin, Jérémy Dumoulin

The electrification of the transport sector is a key element in decarbonizing our societies. However, energy systems will have to cope with additional electricity demand due to the charging needs of electric vehicles (EVs) together with the integration of ...

Light electric vehicle sharing systems: Functional design of a comprehensive decision making solution

Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Selin Ataç

The functional design of a decision support system for a state-of-the-art vehicle sharing system (VSS) inevitably includes the selection or definition of methodologies for planning and managing the observed VSS. In this paper, our focus is on an innovative ...

Deep reinforcement learning control of electric vehicle charging in the presence of photovoltaic generation

Christophe Ballif, Marina Dorokhova

In recent years, the importance of electric mobility has increased in response to climate change. The fast-growing deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide is expected to decrease transportation-related emissions, facilitate the integration of renew ...

Real-time control of an electric vehicle charging station while tracking an aggregated power-setpoint

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Cong Wang, Roman Rudnik, Jagdish Prasad Achara

An electric vehicle (EV) charging method which considers the EVs heterogeneity, taking into account the absence of any information about future arrivals and departures, and of the amount of time any charging will take. The method further considers both swi ...

Grid-aware distributed control of electric vehicle charging stations in active distribution grids

Mario Paolone, Rahul Kumar Gupta, Sherif Alaa Salaheldin Fahmy

The penetration of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (CSs), along with the progressive connection of stochastic distributed generation, is increasing the probability of violating the power distribution grid operational constraints and deteriorate the ...
