Forecast and impact of electromobility development on the Polish Electric Power System

Abstract

Thanks to the development of technology, the presence of electric vehicles (EVs) on the roads is no longer a purely theoretical issue. Also in Poland, electric cars are already visible on the streets, and charging stations (EVCS) are increasingly being installed near newly emerging buildings and housing estates. The article attempts to determine to what extent the use of electric cars will affect the demand for power and energy in the Polish electric power system (PEPS). The basis for PEPS modernization plans should be a detailed analysis of the technical adequacy of all its subsystems: generation, transmission and distribution, on the basis of which it will be possible to assess the potential impact of EVCS infrastructure operation on the Polish electric power system. This publication presents an example of such analysis for the distribution sub- sector, most exposed to potential negative interactions with the future, extensive infrastructure of EVCS.

Impact of Electric Bus Charging on Distribution Substation and Local Grid in Warsaw

“…However, it requires interdisciplinary action in both transport logistics and the power engineering sector. The second way to reduce the negative impact of charging electric buses on the power grid may be to use local energy storage (e.g., Li-ion batteries) and to support them with distributed generation sources [29]. Such a solution is the basis for the creation of modern, intelligent power grids in which sustainable public transport consists of zero-emission vehicles.…”

On Electromobility Development and the Calculation of the Infrastructural Country Electromobility Coefficient

“…They monitor electromobility in Poland with the introduction of BEVs and the most important factors stimulating its development [29]. As the road transport is one of the major sources of air pollution in this country, the most important factors stimulating the current state of electromobility and its development were in focus of several research studies-see e.g., [30][31][32][33] and many others, where the country of the primary interest was Poland. Kupczyk et al in [31] presented actual trends as well as forecasting changes regarding the markets of chosen alternative fuels and the market of EVs.…”

“…The research has been formed on a score-based sector attractiveness method to compare the selected units-the biofuel and the electric car markets. Electric cars along with charging stations have been discussed by Kłos et al in [32]. The effort to specify the impact on the demand for power and energy in the Polish electric power system caused by utilization of electric cars was the main point presented here.…”

Key Factors of Development of Electromobility AMONG Microentrepreneurs: A Case Study from Poland

“…The broadly understood market of products and services related to electromobility is a very rapidly growing segment of the economy on a local and global scale. The potential of this market is noticeable and verifiable by the publication of numerous forecasts concerning its development both in Poland [3,[21][22][23][24][25] and in the other countries [26][27][28][29][30][31]. It is estimated that around 500 million BEVs will be driving on the roads of the world in 2040.…”
