Data-Driven Analysis of Electric Vehicle Charging Behavior and Its Potential for Demand Side Management

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the Electric Vehicles (EVs) charging behaviour based on the data collected from the UK flagship demonstration project - Low Carbon London. Data of seventy residential charging facilities over one year are processed and analysed. The charging behaviour of the cluster of charging facilities and selected charging facilities are analyzed respectively. Based on the in-depth analysis, the potential of the EV charging facilities for joining the demand side management program are further investigated. To evaluate the performance of using charging facilities to join Demand Side Management (DSM) program, numerical analysis based on different DSM programs are presented.
