This study models the coincidence factor (CF) of electric vehicle (EV) charging given driving and plug-in behaviors by combining data sources from travel surveys recorded EV data. From these, we generate using a Monte Carlo approach to derive CFs. By varying battery size, rated power, behavior, their influence on CF is examined. The key results show that decreases less than 25% when considering more 50 EVs with level 11 kW, strongly depending number considered. contrast, behavior size have...
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating in recent years.

Moving towards regional Supergrids, an increasing number of interconnections are formed by High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) lines. Currently, in most regions, HVDC losses not considered market operations, resulting additional costs for Transmission System Operators (TSOs).

Increased penetration of fluctuating Renewable Energy Sources (RES) adds a significant uncertainty in the dynamic behavior power system. Varying infeed from RES significantly affects number conventional generators to be dispatched at any time instant. As result, system parameters, such as inertia and damping can no longer considered constants, but instead they obtain time-varying profile. In this paper, robust frequency control scheme is introduced account for under increased penetration....
