Energy Demand Estimation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Modern Energy Systems Planning

Resumo

The increase in the Electric Vehicles (EVs) fleet will raise the energy demand due to the expansion of the infrastructure of public charging stations (PCS). Before this happens, the electrical system must be adequately prepared to maintain operational stability. On the other hand, planning is always tricky in times of new technology development. Given this, this work presents a methodology for estimating the energy demand of PCS where the dynamics of electromobility and the location of the PCS are considered. The proposal was tested in a large metropolis in northeastern Brazil to demonstrate application in energy and urban planning.
