Defining statistical charging station usage
|
In energy system projects, you can add driving profiles with statistical usage behavior on the page Energy system in the area Loads > Mobility.
You have 2 different options available for improving charging behavior planning:
Option | Explanation |
|---|---|
Queuing | Assumption: the majority of vehicles are waiting for a free charging station. |
Skipping the charging process | Assumption: The majority of vehicles are skipping the charging process. |
You have 2 different options available for improving charging duration planning:
Option | Explanation |
|---|---|
The vehicle leaves the charging station upon completing the length of stay (e.g., grocery store) | Assumption: the majority of vehicles do not perform a full charge. |
Vehicle is being fully charged. | Assumption: the majority of vehicles perform a full charge. |
Prerequisites:
You must have opened an energy system project and planned it up to the project page Energy system.
E-mobility will also be planned in the project. On the project page Define scenario, the Charging stations option has been enabled in the System components area.
Procedure:
- On the page Energy system in the Loads area, click on the Mobility button.
- The Mobility dialog box will open.
- In the area Application, select the option Statistical charging station usage.
- To select a template regarding the statistical usage of the charging station, click on [Select template].
- Enter the maximum charging power range of the arriving vehicles in the respective fields.
- Select the desired option button in the Behavior when more vehicles are arriving than charging stations are available field.
- Select the expected charging behavior of the vehicles under the Charging time option button.
- To configure the number and distribution of electric vehicle arrival over a 24 hour period, click on [Add new arrival profile] and make the corresponding settings.
- To assign an arrival profile to a certain day of the week, enable or disable the corresponding weekdays within the required arrival profile.
Note: Enabled weekdays are highlighted in blue. - To delete profiles, click on the trash can icon of the corresponding arrival profile
- Click on [Accept changes] to save the changes.
