Voltage Constrained Heavy Duty Vehicle Electrification: Formulation and Case Study

Published 24 Nov 2023 in eess.SY and cs.SY | (2311.14861v1)

Abstract: The electrification of heavy-duty vehicles (HDEVs) is a rapidly emerging avenue for decarbonization of energy and transportation sectors. Compared to light duty vehicles, HDEVs exhibit unique travel and charging patterns over long distances. In this paper, we formulate an analytically tractable model that considers the routing decisions for the HDEVs and their charging implications on the power grid. Our model captures the impacts of increased vehicle electrification on the transmission grid, with particular focus on HDEVs. We jointly model transportation and power networks coupling them through the demand generated for charging requirements of HDEVs. In particular, the voltage constraint violation is explicitly accounted for in the proposed model given the signifcant amount of charging power imposed by HDEVs. We obtain optimal routing schedules and generator dispatch satisfying mobility constraints of HDEVs while minimizing voltage violations in electric transmission network. Case study based on an IEEE 24-bus system is presented using realistic data of transit data of HDEVs. The numerical results suggest that the proposed model and algorithm effectively mitigate the voltage violation when a significant amount of HDEVs are integrated to the power transmission network. Such mitigation includes reduction in the voltage magnitude, geographical dispersion of voltage violations and worst-case voltage violations at critical nodes.
