Zusammenfassung:
Electric vehicles (EVs) are an important option to decarbonize the passenger transport sector and, therefore, critical to be adequately represented in energy system models. One of the main challenges is to model the volatility associated with charging EVs. We provide an overview of existing modeling approaches for this. We especially compare methods for simulating charging profiles and discuss their advantages and disadvantages, depending on the application. On that basis, we pick one simulation approach and generate time series for a case study of Germany in 2030. We assess the results and compare them with a large empirical dataset on EV charging in the UK. We derive recommendations for the future modeling of EVs.
