Abstract
In developing countries as well as in Vietnam, infrastructure for two-wheeled electric vehicles is necessary but has not drawn much attention. Sustainable transportation in urban traffic requires sustainable solutions for first-mile/last-mile services which are essential for eco-friendly and efficient connection with the public transport system. Hence, electric two-wheeler charging stations at public parking or transit hubs which coordinate charging a large number of electric bicycles/electric motorcycles should be considered. In this study, the authors propose a novel approach to effectively allocate power to electric two-wheelers in a charging station which is interconnected with the distribution grid, a photovoltaic system and conventional loads of a building. With the purpose of load leveling, the proposed algorithm proves its effectiveness in reducing load variance as well as peak shaving and valley filling, especially when compared with uncontrolled charging and constant charging power scheme. It also provides a solution to increase the penetration rate of both electric vehicles and distributed photovoltaics sources while alleviating adverse effects of these emergent factors.
