The project is relevant as it investigates future behavior of EV owners and fleet operators, and develops advanced charging technologies and control mechanisms, but it does not fully address the impact of changing transport patterns.
The UK will ban all sales of new diesel and petrol cars by 2040 (DEFRA,2017). The adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) could add c.30GW to UK peak demand by 2050 (National Grid, 2017), requiring significant upgrades to th...

The project explores the development of optimisation algorithms to improve response times for key markets and mitigate potential unavailability of vehicles for charging without impacting the grid services, which directly addresses the question.
The aim of this fellowship is to answer a key research question for power systems engineering: "As the UK and other countries move towards transport electrification, how can potentially millions of electric vehicles...
