| description | Regarding DC fast chargers, various studies, such as the charge scheduling, have been conducted. On the other hand, research on AC slow chargers has rarely been conducted due to the predictable and simple usage pattern. Despite the long charging times of AC slow chargers, which use the existing electric outlets with relatively low supplied power, these chargers are suitable for daily home charging of electric vehicles (EVs) during the night. Due to their low installation costs, they are likely to be the dominant type of charging equipment. In this paper, the EV charging process based on AC slow chargers, which supply a maximum power of 3 kW from an AC 220 V outlet, is analyzed by constructing a simple charging model. The charging time and fees are statistically derived and investigated. Furthermore, power load curves for charging EVs with the 3 kW charger are observed. From the statistical analyses, we conclude that daily charging of EVs can be an appropriate scenario in using the AC slow chargers, and the power load can be spread without employing any demand response schemes. |
