Shaping EV Charging Patterns

June 11, 2024 | Online :: Central Time

0624-ev-charging-patterns

“Great Event, speakers were organized, professional, and answered every question effectively.” Electric Vehicle Specialist, Energy New England

This course will explore different charging patterns for electric vehicles and how they correspond to electric utility demand curves.  Actual vehicle models and available charging stations will be used as examples to walk through a time-series analysis of how uncontrolled charging strains the grid during high demand periods. 

Potential solutions to this limitation that benefit both the utility operator and individual or fleet manager will be identified. 

This course will avoid the use of complex mathematics and analytics and will instead focus on using visualizations to build comfort and confidence in the concepts.

Learning Outcomes

• Define terms and quantities that are critical to assessing the impact of electric vehicles on the grid
• Identify impacted components of the electric system and their limitations
• Review utility demand curves and why they are shaped the way they are today
• Recognize how flexibility in electric vehicle charging patterns can work against or solve grid limitations
• Assess why industry solutions, such as direct load control or time of use rates, are effective mitigations that can be mutually beneficial
• Be able to effectively communicate the challenges and opportunities to stakeholders

9:00 – 9:45 a.m. :: Introduction and Utility Language and Component Overview

• Define electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure in utility terms
• Walkthrough of the evolution of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure

9:45 – 10:15 a.m. :: Electric Vehicle and Charging Infrastructure

• Set a baseline of the generation, transmission, and distribution systems that will be used throughout the course
• Define quantities and terms, such as delineating between power and energy

10:15 – 10:45 a.m. :: Morning Break

10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. :: Curves and Patterns for EV Charging and Traditional Utility Demand

• Walk through an annual cycle of utility supply and demand to understand peak conditions, light load, availability of different types of generation throughout the year
• Identify when specific components of the electric grid are at their most stressed and when they have flexibility
• Define curve shapes for EV charging including frequency of charging, peak demand, and total energy consumed

12:00 – 1:00 p.m. :: Break for Lunch

1:00 – 2:00 p.m. :: Challenges Caused by Increased EV Adoption

• Detailed walkthrough of how the increase of EV adoption impacts each grid component, from individual customer service profiles up to regional generation
• Challenges with forecasting increased EV adoption
• Sizing of required system upgrades over time if no control strategies are enacted

2:00 – 3:00 p.m. :: Charging Control Strategy Design

• Combine the concepts of demand curves and charging profiles
  • Understand what an ideal solution from the utility perspective looks like
  • Understand what an ideal solution looks like from an individual owner or fleet manager perspective looks
• Optimizing potential solutions for both the utility and EV operator

3:00 – 3:30 p.m. :: Afternoon Break

3:30 – 4:00 pm. :: Opportunities from Vehicle to Grid

• Using the concepts previously established, walk through the impacts on utility demand curves if EVs act as a source instead of a load
• Size the opportunity for a utility and how to build a value stream out of this application
• Identify challenges and mitigations from an EV operator perspective

4:00 – 4:30 p.m. :: The Future of Electric Vehicle Integration

• Coordinating EVs and distributed renewable energy
• Integrating EVs into whole home or business consumption strategies
• Evolving battery technology for fast charging
• Everything electric: planes, trains, and automobiles

4:30 – 4:45 p.m. :: Review and Open Q&A

4:45 p.m. :: Conference Adjourns

Michael Herzog, President and Founder, Resilient Electric Analytics

Michael helps clients match their knowledge and experience with the data that describes their systems. That match is turned into usable and practical tools to define problems before looking for solutions. This improves reliability of systems and asset management. He also connects clients to potential funding for projects through local, state, and federal grant opportunities.

We will be using Microsoft Teams to facilitate your participation in the upcoming event. You do not need to have an existing Teams account in order to participate in the broadcast – the course will play in your browser and you will have the option of using a microphone to speak with the room and ask questions, or type any questions in via the chat window and our on-site representative will relay your question to the instructor.

• Microsoft recommends downloading and installing the Teams app if possible. You may also use the Edge browser or Chrome.
• You will receive a separate email with a unique link to a personalized landing page which will include links to join all sessions of this event.
• If you are using a microphone, please ensure that it is muted until such time as you need to ask a question.
• The remote meeting connection will be open approximately 30 minutes before the start of the course. We encourage you to connect as early as possible in case you experience any unforeseen problems.

Please Note: This event is being conducted entirely online. All attendees will connect and attend from their computer, one connection per purchase. For details please see our FAQ

If you are unable to attend at the scheduled date and time, we make recordings available to all attendees for 7 days after the event
