The Perspective of Electric Network Load by Electric Car Charging Stations

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the actual situation of the number of electric cars in the Czech Republic and the state of infrastructure in the form of charging stations. Baseline scenarios for the future expected increase in the number of electric cars and charging stations follows. This trend of increasing the number of cars will lead to increased demands on the supply and production of electricity that drives such cars. The electrical network in the Czech Republic certainly has capacity reserves in production, less so in the area of distribution. The article provides an overview of how much the electricity demand will increase and how this demand is likely to spread in the daily load diagram. This global view is the first necessary analysis to enable the development of electromobility in the Czech Republic.
