Electricity Distribution and Intelligent Infrastructure - Recharging Infrastructure Implementation Recommendations (WP 2.5)
Abstract:
The Plug-in Vehicle Economics and Infrastructure Project is a core element of Electrification of Transport within Test Bed UK. The ETI will utilise the outputs of the project to support, inform and facilitate effective long-term benefits from the investments being made around the UK. The two primary objectives are:
- Evaluate the potential role and economics of plug-in vehicles in the low carbon transport system: generate a quantified understanding of the market potential, cost models and carbon benefits case under defined scenarios of infrastructure investments, government intervention packages and finance model options across a number of key plug-in vehicle type/size/capability points; and
- Develop the technology tool-kit for delivering an intelligent infrastructure: create a verified open interoperability architecture and generate information to aid infrastructure planning (e.g. to indicate how many recharging points are needed and where they should be located, what mix of power levels are required, how the impact of plug-in vehicle recharging on the electricity distribution network should be managed, how the overall system can be simplified for consumers, etc).
This report considers the commercial and regulatory requirements for the deployment of plug-in vehicle recharging infrastructure in the UK. It builds on the Charging Network Requirements Report, which considers the technical requirements.
The most significant recommendation is the need for regulations to be developed and implemented to ensure load management functionalityis available at public, commercial/workplace and domestic recharging places. This is critical to enable demand to be managed through time of use pricing, to mitigate the future impacts on electricity generation and distribution. This functionality will be a low priority for many private sector investors until market uptake becomes significant; hence regulation is important to ensure this functionality is implemented from the outset and available when needed.
