| Summary: | Electric vehicle (EV) charging loads have an impact on the power grid, but also represent a potential for energy flexibility. There is a need for EV data to evaluate effects on the power grid and optimal EV charging strategies. A stochastic bottom-up model is developed for residential EV charging, taking outdoor temperatures into account. The model input is based on real-world data from residential charging in Norway. The load profile generator provides hourly load profiles for any number and combination of small and large EVs, assuming immediate charging after plug-in. It is found that the model generates realistic load profiles for residential EV charging, reflecting today’s charging patterns. Data generated can be used for load and flexibility simulations for residential EV charging.
