ISGT NA '24 Tutorial 2: Grid Constraints, Fleet Charging and Transformers Policy (Slides)

This tutorial will address the issues with transformers, the impacts of fleet charging on the grid (e.g., trucks, rental vehicles, buses, taxies, and city vehicles, etc.), and what to think about in terms of grid upgrades and sequencing. The tutorial will draw from several examples and the lessons learned from those examples. Finally, it will take a quick look at how society changes if we shift around activities to make maximum use of solar in transportation. Objectives: - Fleets and fleet charging of electric vehicles - Fleet statistics and in transit use of charging - Typical locations of fleet facilities and their grid infrastructure - Typical daily schedule and impacts – including sample quick calculations - Impacts on grid planning from the DOE NOPR - No regrets grid planning standards and planning actions - Impacts on society of maximizing solar use for fleet and EV charging
