Utilization of electric vehicle (EV) load models can improve the performance of smart charging strategies, which increase the reliability of the grid by harnessing the flexibility of EV loads. This thesis presents methods for utilizing EV load models in real time stochastic charging control with single and finite system-time horizons. First, the drivers’ load models are found with kernel density estimation. A single system time horizon coordinated charging control algorithm is devised to ensure each EV is charged at least a critical amount given a feasible set of optimization constraints. The coordinated charging algorithm tackles the NP-hardness of single-deadline charging scheduling problems efficiently with a sorting algorithm utilizing the stochastic EV load models. Moreover, the single system-time horizon coordinated charging control algorithm is extended to a scheduling algorithm considering a finite system-time horizon. This approach utilizes the stochastic EV load models in a model predictive control based approach to decrease the complexity of stochastic online charging scheduling problem into a deterministic case. The scheduling algorithm makes assumptions about the future arrivals to the charging station, unlike the classical online EV charging scheduling algorithms, which optimize the load demand revealed at the current time but underestimate the load demand revealed in the future. Findings of the thesis work suggest the individual load models complement smart charging algorithms’ decision process by improving the fairness of charging time allocation and extending the degree of knowledge of future random data for the scheduling algorithm.

Monte Carlo based load flow simulations are performed in order to evaluate the response of the LV networks to various EV a...
Assessment of impacts of electric vehicles on low voltage distribution networks in Turkey Temiz, Armağan; Güven, Ali Nezih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) The number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has reached a substantial value all over the globe due to economic and environmental factors. The increasing penetration of EVs to the distribution grids urges the requirement to investigate the impacts of EVs on the planning and operation of distribution networks. Despite the fact that there are numerous studies discussing the impacts of EVs on distribution grids, a particular study concerning the Turkish distribution networks does not exist. Therefore, this study focu...
An improved energy requirement prediction for queueing applications of electric vehicles based on parameter estimation Sağlam, Berkay; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-8) The use of electric vehicles has increased in recent years. Although they have many benefits to the environment such as reduced carbon emissions, charging of vehicles brings some new challenges for power systems such as overloading, reliability problems, etc. Charging of electric vehicles should be managed to overcome these problems. Queueing strategies are one of the management methods. These strategies are applied to obtain a feasible operation that depends on the decisions made considering system propert...
