“…Here, it is important to distinguish between designing new ITES decision-making algorithms and simply assessing the decisions that already exist. While the former has been identified as an extensive area of future work [49,50,76], this work simply seeks to address the latter so as to describe TEN performance without change.…”

“…Such a system is called a transportation-electricity nexus (TEN). [76,77]: A system-of-systems composed of a system with the artifacts necessary to describe at least one mode of electrified transport united with an interdependent system composed of the artifacts necessary to generate, transmit, distribute, and consume electricity.…”

“…The research towards this methodology is conducted by first investigating the most recent published EV integration studies; Second, the most appropriate methods to conduct such a study were analyzed, and subsequently extended to incorporate dynamic decision-making and performance measures. To illustrate the concepts explained in the paper, the Symmetrica test case [76] is used as an example throughout. The methodology is validated through a simulation of the Symmetrica test case with 50% adoption of plug-in EVs.…”

“…Each of these steps is discussed in the following associated subsections. To facilitate the general discussion, each step is also illustrated using the Symmetrica test case [76]. It consists of a multi-modal electrified transportation system topology, an electric power topology, and activity-based use case data that spans transportation and charging [76].…”

Abstract:In recent years, electrified transportation, be it in the form of buses, trains, or cars have become an emerging form of mobility. Electric vehicles (EVs), especially, are set to expand the amount of electric miles driven and energy consumed. Nevertheless, the question remains as to whether EVs will be technically feasible within infrastructure systems. Fundamentally, EVs interact with three interconnected systems: the (physical) transportation system, the electric power grid, and their supporting information systems. Coupling of the two physical systems essentially forms a nexus, the transportation-electricity nexus (TEN). This paper presents a hybrid dynamic system assessment methodology for multi-modal transportation-electrification. At its core, it utilizes a mathematical model which consists of a marked Petri-net model superimposed on the continuous time microscopic traffic dynamics and the electrical state evolution. The methodology consists of four steps: (1) establish the TEN structure; (2) establish the TEN behavior; (3) establish the TEN Intelligent Transportation-Energy System (ITES) decision-making; and (4) assess the TEN performance. In the presentation of the methodology, the Symmetrica test case is used throughout as an illustrative example. Consequently, values for several measures of performance are provided. This methodology is presented generically and may be used to assess the effects of transportation-electrification in any city or area; opening up possibilities for many future studies.
