  The present study investigates the extension of an existing simulation model combining system dynamics and discrete event simulation by linear optimization for an electric vehicle charging system. The existing simulation framework is extended by a smart charging strategy based on linear programming in order to exploit the flexibility of real charging processes at a workplace parking lot for a better integration of solar photovoltaic electricity generation. Therefore, different smart charging strategies are evaluated. In multiple simulation runs, the strategies are compared with immediate charging using a stationary battery energy storage system for intermediate storage of electricity generated by solar photovoltaic. Results show that smart charging strategies can achieve similarly good results with respect to the self-sufficiency rate and self-consumption rate. In the context of a 100kWp PV system the combination of optimizing charging rates and stationary battery energy storage resulted in self-sufficiency rates of more than 90\% in the simulation.

  An accurate aging forecasting and state of health estimation is essential for a safe and economically valuable usage of lithium-ion batteries. However, the non-linear aging of lithium-ion batteries is dependent on various operating and environmental conditions wherefore the degradation estimation is a complex challenge. Moreover, for on-board estimations where only limited memory and computing power are available, a state of health estimation algorithm is needed that is able to process raw sensor data without complex preprocessing. This paper presents a data-driven state of health estimation algorithm for lithium-ion batteries using different segments of partial discharge profiles. Raw sensor data is directly input to a temporal convolutional neural network without the need of executing feature engineering steps. The neural network is able to process raw sensor data and estimate the state of health of battery cells for different aging and degradation scenarios. After executing Bayesian hyperparameter tuning together with a stratified cross validation approach for splitting the training and test data, the achieved generalized aging model estimates the state of health with an overall root mean squared error of 1.0%.

  Shared autonomous electric vehicles (SAEVs) are expected to soon revolutionize the transport system, with cheap and convenient taxi-like services. SAEVs can induce a significant modal shift from other modes of travel, with effects ranging from beneficial, like reducing private car use, to negative, like making public transport uneconomical and increasing congestion. This modal shift will also be influenced by electrification, as charging time and range limitations will influence availability of these vehicles. In this work, we expand a SAEV simulationIacobucci, R.Pruckner, M.Schm{\"o}ecker, J.-D. model with mode choice to incorporate electric vehicles. In our model travelers choose between their current mode and SAEVs, which in addition to the fare, has a waiting time which depends on the real-time demand and fleet availability. We use a trip generation model based on a large person trip survey from Germany as our input data and scale-up the survey to obtain an OD matrix for the whole wider Munich area on a 1 km{\$}{\$}^2{\$}{\$}2mesh area and representing instances of all trips in the city. As the basis for our extension, we build on a previously published efficient and scalable simulation model. Thanks to its scalability, we are able to perform our simulation with the resulting 4.6 million trips per day over a whole week. We study the effect of electrification on modal shift considering different battery capacities and charging station numbers. We will show at what level of these three decision variables the impact of electrification is negligible compared to our previous results with (non-electric) SAVs.

  The steadily increasing usage of smart meters generates a valuable amount of high-resolution data about the individual energy consumption and production of local energy systems. Private households install more and more photovoltaic systems, battery storage and big consumers like heat pumps. Thus, our vision is to augment these collected smart meter time series of a complete system (e.g., a city, town or complex institutions like airports) with simulatively added previously named components. We, therefore, propose a novel digital twin of such an energy system based solely on a complete set of smart meter data including additional building data. Based on the additional geospatial data, the twin is intended to represent the addition of the abovementioned components as realistically as possible. Outputs of the twin can be used as a decision support for either system operators where to strengthen the system or for individual households where and how to install photovoltaic systems and batteries. Meanwhile, the first local energy system operators had such smart meter data of almost all residential consumers for several years. We acquire those of an exemplary operator and discuss a case study presenting some features of our digital twin and highlighting the value of the combination of smart meter and geospatial data.

  The storage of electric energy is considered to be a crucial element for grids with a high share of renewable energy generation. Carnot Batteries are a promising technology regarding sector coupling or peak shaving applications. In the domestic sector, current research focuses on an application of Carnot Battery systems in single houses with solar power to improve their self-sufficiency and reduce expenditures. However, due to the non-cellular structure (in contrast to li-ion) economies of scale contribute significantly to the viability of the technology. This is why a joint analysis of entire housing communities is necessary, as focusing only on one house neglects possibilities that arise with larger Carnot Battery systems. The Carnot Battery system is modelled after a pilot plant as a reversible heat pump (20 kW)/organic Rankine cycle (7–13 kW) system coupled with a sensible hot water storage. Operation data from a local energy supplier is used to validate the heat storage component of the simulation model, while the thermal machines are based on simulated and experimental data of the pilot plant. An extensive and comprehensive parameter variation is done to find possible application scenarios of the pilot plant and evaluate its financial viability in a community of varying number of houses. Major findings are, that the possible savings the pilot plant Carnot Battery can achieve in such a community depends on the market conditions considered and that it is not financial under current German market conditions. Varying the feed-in tariff and heat costs showcases the limits of a financial application. Based on current projections for the feed-in tariff, an application for a community of 10–30 houses becomes financial in the near future and saves more than 100 € on electricity costs per house per year, with an amortization period of 14 years depending on interest rates.

  Systems for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) of buildings are traditionally controlled by a rule-based approach. In order to reduce the energy consumption and the environmental impact of HVAC systems more advanced control methods such as reinforcement learning are promising. Reinforcement learning (RL) strategies offer a good alternative, as user feedback can be integrated more easily and presence can also be incorporated. Moreover, multi-agent RL approaches scale well and can be generalized. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent RL framework based on existing work that learns reducing on one hand energy consumption by optimizing HVAC control and on the other hand user feedback by occupants about uncomfortable room temperatures. Second, we show how to reduce training time required for proper RL-agent-training by using parameter sharing between the multiple agents and apply different pretraining techniques. Results show that our framework is capable of reducing the energy by around 6% when controlling a complete building or 8% for a single room zone. The occupants complaints are acceptable or even better compared to a rule-based baseline. Additionally, our performance analysis show that the training time can be drastically reduced by using parameter sharing.

  Car sharing is a more sustainable approach to personal mobility than vehicle ownership, especially if car sharing services electrify their fleets. However, due to the limited range and slow charging process of electric vehicles, car sharing providers might face problems keeping the vehicles adequately charged. This paper analyzes 4.5 years of real booking data from a German two-way car sharing provider. The dataset includes information on the booking time window, driven distance, and location. We use this data to study the customer behavior and simulate the past operation with a completely electrified fleet. Based on the simulation, we determine whether charging problems exist and how they can be solved by adapting the charging rate, battery capacity, and number of charging points. Our results indicate that the operation of the service with modern electric vehicles is entirely feasible. Per car sharing station, two charging points are sufficient if vehicles do not have to be connected immediately upon arrival (by the customer), but can connect later once another vehicle has finished charging. Somewhat problematic is that 4% of the bookings have a longer driven distance than the vehicle's range. In these cases, the disutility to customers is unclear but, in all likelihood, manageable. Furthermore, we find that 50% of the charging events can be shifted by more than 10h, indicating significant flexibility that could be utilized for smart charging and the provision of ancillary services in the future.

  Besides the integration of renewable energies, electric vehicles pose an additional challenge to modern power grids. However, electric vehicles can also be a flexibility source and contribute to the power system stability. Today, the power system still heavily relies on conventional technologies to stay stable. In order to operate a future power system based on renewable energies only, we need to understand the flexibility potential of assets such as electric vehicles and become able to use their flexibility. In this paper, we analyzed how vast amounts of coordinated charging processes can be used to provide frequency containment reserve power, one of the most important ancillary services for system stability. Therefore, we used an extensive simulation model of a virtual power plant of millions of electric vehicles. The model considers not only technical components but also the stochastic behavior of electric vehicle drivers based on real data. Our results show that, in 2030, electric vehicles have the potential to serve the whole frequency containment reserve power market in Germany. We differentiate between using unidirectional and bidirectional chargers. Bidirectional chargers have a larger potential but also result in unwanted battery degradation. Unidirectional chargers are more constrained in terms of flexibility, but do not lead to additional battery degradation. We conclude that using a mix of both can combine the advantages of both worlds. Thereby, average private cars can provide the service without any notable additional battery degradation and achieve yearly earnings between EUR 200 and EUR 500, depending on the volatile market prices. Commercial vehicles have an even higher potential, as the results increase with vehicle utilization and consumption.

  • [ BibTeX ]
  The penetration of battery electric vehicles is increasing. Due to their ability to store electrical power and to shift charging events, they offer a wide range of opportunities with regard to renewable grid integration and lowering the overall CO2 emissions. This is particularly evident for isolated microgrids, such as the Portuguese island of Porto Santo. In this paper, we conduct a data analysis of real-world charging data of 20 electric vehicles operated on the island of Porto Santo. We provide insights into the charging behavior of different users and analyze the opportunity of smart charging for better renewable grid integration using linear optimization models. The data analysis shows that drivers prefer home rather than publicly available charging stations, flexible charging events occur mostly overnight and the charging flexibility of the fleet decreases over the project duration. With regard to make charging more flexible, we can see that smart charging can help to raise the share of electricity generated by renewable energy sources for charging the electric vehicles to up to 33{\%}.
