Abstract
Battery-powered electric mobility is currently the most promising technology for the decarbonisation of the transport sector, alongside hydrogen-powered vehicles, provided that the electricity used comes 100% from renewable energy sources. To estimate its electricity demand both nationwide and in individual smaller communities, a calculation based assessment on driving profiles that are as realistic as possible is required. The developed model based analysis presented in this paper for the creation of driving and thus electricity load profiles makes it possible to build different compositions of driving profiles. The focus of this paper lies in the analysis of motorised private transport, which makes it possible to assess future charging and load control potentials in a subsequent analysis. We outline the differences in demand and driving profiles for weekdays as well as for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays in general. Furthermore, the modelling considers the length distribution of the individual trips per trip purpose and different start times. The developed method allows to create individual driving and electric vehicle (EV) demand profiles as well as averaged driving profiles, which can then be scaled up and analysed for an entire country.
Highlights
The energy transition is widely seen as a shift in the energy sector from fossil-fuel towards renewable energy sources
The core objective of this paper is to model driving patterns and electricity demand profiles of electric mobility based on a survey on current mobility behaviour in Austria
It is possible to analyse single trip purposes, single vehicles, and groups of vehicles regarding their quarter of an hour, daily or yearly electricity demand, driving distances, starting times, or even standing times at home or away from home
Summary
The energy transition is widely seen as a shift in the energy sector from fossil-fuel towards renewable energy sources. Battery-driven electric mobility, along with hydrogen-powered vehicles, currently are the most promising technologies for the decarbonisation of the transport sector, as long as the electricity used is generated from. Private transport will continue to represent a large share of the traffic volume in the future. In 2010 only 700 electric vehicles were newly registered, this figure increased to 550,000 vehicles in 2019. This still only represents a 3.5% market share of newly registered passenger cars of which about 2% were BEVs and 1% were
