Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 City Rural area Urban area Case area o Located in Fortum Distribution network, Finland o 20 kV network (6 feeders) from city, urban and rural areas o Peak load on the feeder*: 3.6–8 MW /feeder o Annual energy*: 10–32 GWh /feeder o Number of delivery sites: 390–5200 /feeder o Estimated number of cars: 980–4000 /feeder * Without electric vehicles Jukka Lassila – Finland – Session 6 – Paper 0773 EV information: -Driving distance: 50 km/day per car -Consumption: 0.2 kWh/km -Charging power: 3.6 kW/car

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Load curves with EVs (100% and 50%) Present load In residential area (urban area) evening and night- hours are the most challenging from the network capacity point of view

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 One-year load curve with EVs (the topmost curve) from the feeder. The bottom curve illustrates the powers without EVs. The curves include the peak powers of each day; the minimum loads of the days are not presented. One-year load curve with EVs

Reinforcement costs (method of marginal cost) Network value compared with the peak -low-voltage networks 360 €/kW -medium-voltage network 230 €/kW -primary substation level 100 €/kW Power flow Peak power An example of defining required reinforcement investments on the medium voltage feeder 20 kV feeder (Feeder 1) -Present peak load of the day: 5.6 MW -Additional power because of EVs: +2.0 MW - Average marginal cost: 230 €/kW  Estimated need for reinforcement: 230 €/kW x 2000 kW = €

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Summary of the feeder-specific results Total additional load without load control for the case feeders in the MV- network is 10.3 MW. An estimation for reinforcement needs is 2.4 M€. When the reinforcements of the LV-networks and 110/20 kV primary substations are taken into account, the total reinforcement investments will be 7 M€. Replacement value of the case network would increase by 41 % from the present 17 M€ to 24 M€.

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Optimised charging (red curve) for the feeder. All the energy for EVs can be taken from the network without increasing the present peak power. Optimised charging There is demand for Smart Grid functions to optimise charging of electric vehicles. With successful optimisation reinforcement of 7 M€ could be avoided in this case area.

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Summary of the study  Intelligent control of charging of EVs is strongly recommended in order to avoid a) unnecessary reinforcement investments and b) an increase in distribution fees paid by the end-customers  Without intelligent control of charging, the load growth can be significant, varying from 20 to 50 % in the case feeders  With intelligent charging (smart grids) most of the reinforcement investment could be avoided or delayed  To understand the network effects of EVs, the present electrotechnical condition of the distribution network has to be studied first, and careful estimation of the penetration schedule has to be made  More efforts have to put for developing charging profiles which consists both normal household consumption load curve and EV charging curve for different purposes Jukka Lassila – Finland – Session 6 – Paper 0773
