Tiivistelmä
The global number of electric vehicles (EV) is on a continuous rise, alongside the need for an optimal electric vehicle charging solution. One of the effective approaches for discovering a feasible electric vehicle charging solution is to simulate the electric vehicle charging environment and analyze the results.
This research evaluates Simulation Environment of Complex Energy System (SimCES) platform as a simulation development tool for developing electric vehicle (EV) charging simulations. The aim of the research is to evaluate SimCES platform’s ability to simulate electric vehicle charging scenarios. The research further addresses issues and limitations discovered during the development of the simulation using the SimCES platform. The research aims to evaluate the suitability of the SimCES platform in terms of electric vehicle charging simulations.
To evaluate SimCES, an EV charging simulation was developed and run using the platform in this research. To achieve that, three components were developed using the platform and a greedy algorithm was implemented in one of the components to calculate the power output for EV charging stations. Issues, drawbacks and limitations were identified during the development phase of the simulation. Additional external applications were developed and integrated with the simulation platform for end-user usage.
The results identify issues and drawbacks related to logging and debugging that caused delays in development. The results further reveal the limitations of the current version of SimCES alongside limitations of the simulation model itself.
The research concludes with suggestions and recommendations for enhancing the SimCES platform and identifies potential future research topics and approaches.
