However, the energy consumption rate of a vehicle depends on many factors making it very difficult to estimate. Many of these factors such as traffic light timing, traffic congestion and weather, change from day to day and trip to trip. While real time traffic information and traffic light timing schedules can be used to help predict the effect of the first two factors, the impact of weather cannot be as easily predicted based on a weather report. Depending on the topology of the route including other vehicles on the road, the local wind speed relative to a vehicle can differ greatly from a predicted bulk wind speed. The effect of precipitation is also difficult to predict because it depends on the amount falling and the amount accumulated on the road. In this paper it is first shown that energy consumption prediction errors due to un-modeled effects, including most notably weather, exhibit a high amount of trip-to-trip variation and a smaller amount of variation within a trip. Next, it is demonstrated that moderate wind speeds have an observable effect on energy consumption and this effect varies based on the direction of travel and wind direction. This analysis also illustrates the challenges in predicting the effect of wind speed and precipitation on energy consumption based on a weather forecast. Finally, a case is made for future research involving the use of current and recent data from a large population of vehicles to provide a more accurate energy consumption profile by reducing the prediction errors due to un-modeled effects.","PeriodicalId":223794,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference (IEVC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124879849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EV energy consumption is modeled following agent-based techniques, and the data used corresponds to the Iberian day-ahead market and Spanish mobility needs in 2012. The simulation results show that EVs would significantly influence the electricity price on the day-ahead market, depending on the EV charging behavior.","PeriodicalId":223794,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference (IEVC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130445453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although many EV users have a charging possibility at home and the range of these vehicles would be adequate for most drivers' usage patterns, EV users demand a charging infrastructure similar to that of filling stations. This is mainly due to the range anxiety phenomena, describing EV users' concerns about not reaching a planned destination due to a discharged battery. In order to distribute the charging stations at suitable sites with high visibility, thereby reducing these concerns, we suggest an approach for implementing customers' preferences into a facility location planning model. Our model is evaluated using the example of an urban area, considering both quantitative (e.g., traffic density) and qualitative characteristics. The allocation model developed was able to identify suitable sites for the allocation of charging stations, providing decision support for both governments and providers.","PeriodicalId":223794,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference (IEVC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126364700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is expected that EVs will grow rapidly in the near feature. However, the broad adoption of EVs will produce a high power demand on the power grid. Smart charging control of the EVs could help to relieve the possible negative influences on the power grid. Many researchers have investigated possible algorithms for EV charging control. Considering customers' willingness, this paper proposes a mixed charging control framework. The proposed control framework is aimed to minimize the charging cost and satisfy the customers' charging freedom requirements. A user satisfaction determining method is also proposed which can help to evaluate user satisfactions for different control algorithms. Within the proposed framework, both the benefits for the utility companies and the customers are considered. The optimization framework is evaluated with the data from a local utility company. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed framework. The framework can also be further used to evaluate the penetration for a certain neighborhood level network.","PeriodicalId":223794,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference (IEVC)","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115662103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
