Abstract
We develop and analyze a measure-valued fluid model keeping track of parking and charging requirements of electric vehicles in a local distribution grid. We show how this model arises as an accumulation point of an appropriately scaled sequence of stochastic network models. Our analysis incorporates load-flow models that describe the laws of electricity. Specifically, we consider the alternating current (AC) and the linearized Distflow power flow models and show a continuity property of the associated power allocation functions.
Highlights
To deal with the effects of climate change, many countries are in the process of implementing new policy measures to stimulate the use of electricity generated by renewable sources such as solar and wind
