Forecast of ev derived electrical demand. the spanish case

Abstract

The inclusion of the electric vehicles in Spain is unavoidable, as well as in the developed countries, and the electrification of the Spanish vehicle fleet will produce an increase in the electric energy demand which will require changes in the current infrastructure. This chapter estimates the total consumption of an entire electric fleet considering the electrification of all the vehicles registered in Spain. The analysis performs a sampling of the most recent models of EV in the market and the typical driven annual distances of each type of vehicle. Finally, the environmental impact is estimated regarding CO2 emissions, the optimal charging scheme is established and some consideration about the impact in the grid are taken into account.
