Energy autonomy of electric vehicles in topologically irregular cities: Case study cuenca - Ecuador

Abstract:

This research aims to determine the autonomy of electric vehicles in topologically irregular cities. The city's mobility plan, real-time measurements of battery discharge, altitude monitoring through GPS, EVs control panel records, and surveys to estimate the use and level of penetration of this technology are used. The information is analyzed considering the current electricity pricing and regulatory aspects to determine the cost that represents the load of the EVs under these conditions. Finally, the inclusion of EVs in the distribution network is simulated to infer some consequences on the electrical energy demand profile.
