Power System Impacts of Electric Vehicles in Germany: Charging with Coal or Renewables

Schill, Wolf-Peter; Gerbaulet, Clemens - In: Applied Energy 156 (2015), pp. 185-196

We analyze the impacts of future scenarios of electric vehicles (EVs) on the German power system, drawing on different assumptions on the charging mode. We find that the impact on the load duration curve strongly differs between charging modes. In a fully user-driven mode, charging largely...
