TY - CPAPER U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Pawlowski, Tizian A1 - van Dinther, Clemens T1 - Assessing the impact of electric vehicle charging behavior on the distribution grid T2 - AMCIS 2020 proceedings - Green IS and sustainability (SIGGreen) N2 - The promise of the EVs is twofold. First, rejuvenating a transport sector that still heavily depends on fossil fuels and second, integrating intermittent renewable energies into the power mix. However, it is still not clear how electricity networks will cope with the predicted increase in EVs and their charging demand, especially in combination with conventional energy demand. This paper proposes a methodology which allows to predict the impact of EV charging behavior on the electricity grid. Moreover, this model simulates the driving and charging behavior of heterogeneous EV drivers which differ in their mobility pattern, decision-making heuristics and charging strategies. The simulations show that uncoordinated charging results in charging load clustering. In contrast, decentralized coordination allows to fill the valleys of the conventional load curve and to integrate EVs without the need of a costly expansion of the electricity grid.
