“…However, internal resistance of modern batteries is very low. Krieger and Arnold (2012), as well as Amoroso and Cappuccino (2012), report a limited decline in charging efficiency for C-rates (capacity-normalized charging speed (battery capacity)/1h) below 1.0 with efficiency ranging from 0.99 at 0.1 C to 0.91 at 1.0 C. Compared to the large fluctuations in electricity prices, this efficiency drop has a limited effect on optimal charging policies for the different IEC charging modes (C-rates between 0.12 and 0.73). Therefore, we abstract from charging losses and assume a loss-free charging process with efficiency = 1.…”

M eeting charging demands of large electric vehicle fleets will raise electrical load significantly and may pose challenges for today's power system. Appropriate coordination of electric vehicle charging can reduce these threats. Acknowledging the interdependency between the transportation and the power system created by electric vehicles, we develop a charging coordination model based on German mobility data. We extend the prior work by explicitly accounting for both the temporal and the spatial dimension. We are thus able to analyze the loads from price-based EV fleet charging while at the same time accounting for distribution grid constraints. Furthermore, we propose a heuristic charging strategy based on limited trip and price information. Our results show that the sole use of time-based electricity prices for the coordination of electric vehicle charging produces high load spikes independent of the charging strategies and power levels. These peaks are induced by simultaneous charging activity and may cause stability problems within distribution grids in residential areas. To mitigate these load spikes, we introduce a spatial price component that reflects local capacity utilization. These local prices induce both a temporal and spatial shift of charging activity that mitigates the load spikes.

“…Besides scheduling PEV load by charging time allocation, Amoroso and Cappuccino [61] examined charging efficiency to demonstrate dispatching strategies. The charging rate is treated as the criterion to determine the charging power and sequence and found that the efficiency-aware strategy outperforms the nonefficiency-aware counterparts.…”

“…This is modeled by introducing charging/discharging efficiencies as Depending on the type of study, η c n and η d n can be approximated by one [20], [23], similar constant values [31], different constant values [32], and as functions of the charging/discharging rate of BESs [26]. It has been shown in [33] based on experiments that the charging efficiency has a linear relationship with the charging rate as…”

The voltage rise problem in low voltage (LV) distribution networks with high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) resources is one of the most important challenges in the development of these renewable resources since it may prevent the maximum PV penetration considering the reliability and security issues of distribution networks. In this paper, the battery energy storage (BES) systems are used in order to solve the voltage rise during the peak PV generation as well as the voltage drop while meeting the peak load. A coordinated control strategy is proposed to regulate the charge/discharge of BESs using a combination of the local droop based control method and a distributed control scheme which ensures the voltages of feeder remain within allowed limits. Therefore, two different consensus algorithms are used: The first algorithm determines the BESs participation in voltage regulation in terms of their installed capacity whereas the second one modifies the BESs performance in terms of their state of charge (SoC) to prevent the excessive saturation or depletion of batteries. The proposed controller enables the effective use of storage capacity in different conditions. Finally, the simulation results based upon real data of a radial distribution feeder validate the effectiveness of this approach.
