Type: IEEE PES Distinguished Lecture Series
Title: Intelligent Control of Electric Vehicles: Lessons Learned from the Largest UK EV Trial
Speaker: Prof. Luis(Nando) Ochoa, The University of Melbourne, Australia; part-time Professor of Smart Grids at The University of Manchester, UK;
Date: 29th May
Time: 3.00-4.00 p.m.
Location: C24, Sackville Street Building, The University of Manchester
LECTURE DETAILS:
This talk will present the large-scale trial “My Electric Avenue” in which a new technology is used to manage the charging points of EVs in a given residential LV feeder to avoid technical issues. As part of this project more than 200 EVs were monitored for over a year to understand usage patterns. The talk will provide an overview of the implementation aspects, the control algorithm, the corresponding benefits, and the potential impacts on EV users.
