Modelling Electric Vehicle Charging Network Capacity and Performance During Short-Notice Evacuations

2021

Author(s): MacDonald CD, Kattan L, Layzell D

In this paper, a generalized framework based on a G/G/c/N queueing model (general arrival process, general service process, c charging stations, and N EVs) was developed to estimate the number of vehicles that can be charged in the pre-departure evacuation stage and thus assess the pre-departure impacts.

Off-Grid Solar Charging of Electric Vehicles at Long-Term Parking Locations

2021

Author(s): Ghotge R, Wijk Ad van, Lukszo Z

Larger EV fleets lead to an increase in the demand for both electricity and EV charging infrastructure. This work analyses the effectiveness of an off-grid solar photovoltaic system for the charging of electric vehicles (EVs) in a long-term parking lot.
