Flexibility potential of heavy-duty battery electric vehicles depots for congestion management in medium-voltage grids

Abstract

This paper demonstrates how flexibility from heavy duty vehicle depots can be utilized to relieve grid congestion. Through the utilisation of charging simulations alongside bench-mark grid models and datasets, the impact of depot charging on the distribution network is determined. The findings indicate that depot charging can facilitate the mitigation of grid congestion during periods of substantial renewable energy feed-in. The exploitation of demand flexibility potential yields additional synergies.
