Het veilig en autonoom regelend PV-laadplein met DC-distributie (VAP-DC) is een project waarin het ontwerpen, bouwen, testen en operationeel maken van een DC-netwerk (gelijkspanning) wordt aangetoond. Het systeem op het parkeerdek kan zonder AC (wisselspanning) opereren zoals het verzorgen van verlichting, …

Electric vehicles have penetrated the Dutch market, which increases the potential for decreased local emissions, the use and storage of sustainable energy, and the roll-out and use of electric car-sharing business models. This development also raises new potential issues such as increased electricity …

This study used historical data from a Park & Ride facility in Amsterdam to build a validated computer (Python) model to optimize battery and grid connection sizing. The case study modelled is equipped with 8 EV chargers (16 connections), an on-site supplementary battery, and a limited capacity grid …

The number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. The growing presence of charging points generates a multitude of interactions between EV users, particularly in metropolitan areas where a charging infrastructure is largely part of the public domain. There …

During the COVID-19—related lockdowns (2020–2022), mobility patterns and charging needs were substantially affected. Policies such as work from home, lockdowns, and curfews reduced traffic and commuting significantly. This global pandemic may have also substantially changed mobility patterns on the long …

This paper presents data-driven insights from a case study that was carried out in an University EV charging plaza where EV charging demand is met with the combination of the University campus grid and installed solar capacity. First, we assessed the plaza dependency on the grid for meeting EV charging …

Charging infrastructure in neighborhoods is essential for inhabitants who use electric vehicles. The development of public charging infrastructure can be complex because of its dependency on local grid conditions, the responsibility to prepare for anticipated fleet growth policies, and the implicit biases …

In the Netherlands and some neighbouring European countries, the electric vehicle (EV) charging sector is receiving attention from market regulators. Concerns relating to competitive processes in this developing and rapidly growing sector are being raised. This paper identifies specific markets where …

Summary: A novel Smart Charging strategy, based on low base allowances per charger combined with 1. clustering of chargers on the same part of the grid and 2. dynamic non guaranteed allowance, is presented in this paper. This manner of Smart Charging will allow more than 3 times the amount of chargers …

The COVID-19 lockdowns showed that working from home and conducting meetings online can change mobility patterns and needs substantially. This global pandemic may have also substantially changed mobility patterns on the long-term and therefore, also the need of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. …
