Electric Vehicles (EVs) are growing attention for their higher efficiency and less-polluting specifications. However, a massive introduction of EVs could lead to several issues in power systems. Several authors have proposed various smart charging approaches. But, these approaches could not be appropriately implemented without knowing the charging behavior of the EV customers. Thus, this paper proposes an EV charging load prediction for the particular case of Quito, Ecuador. This forecasting is performed based on data obtained from a GPS system and on statistical methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
