Abstract
During the last decade, the popularity of motorcycle and scooters in Asian countries continuously increased. One of the main reasons for this is its effectiveness when traveling in the traffic and high fuel efficiency. At present, Electric Motorcycles (EMs) are available in the market. EM has storage with relatively smaller capacity when compared with Electric cars. Thus the charging time of an EM battery is less when compared with Electrical cars. Unlike Electric cars these EMs can be charged throughout a day. Thus the charging pattern of an EM would be different and collective power profile a distribution network differs from existing profile. This paper investigates the effect of electric motorcycle charging on the distribution network using load flow techniques. Further, an electric motorcycle charger with the capability of slow and fast charging is proposed in the paper. Simulation results, obtained from PSCAD/EMTD simulation software, of the charger along with load flow results are presented.
