Full electrification of the transport sector is a necessity to combat climate change and a pressing societal issue: climate agreements require a fuel shift of all the modes of transport, but while uptake of passenger electric vehicles is increasing, long haul trucks rely almost completely on fossil...

The electrification of the energy sector challenges the conventional methods to meet the increased load demand. The rapid increase of electric vehicles and the desire for shorter charging time at fast charging stations (FCS) contributes to higher power peaks in local distribution grids. This may...

High-power charging stations have recently drawn the attention of many researchers and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure industries. However, the installation of fast chargers at various corridors of highways and cities can cause high peak loads and voltage deviations in distribution networks. In...

This paper presents vehicle-to-grid (V2G) tests performed in the microgrid at university Campus Evenstad, Norway. The purpose of the tests was to investigate the power quality in the connection point to the grid during transitions to/from island mode. These transitions are generated by disconnecting...

The recent development of EVs with high-capacity batteries and high charging power capabilities leads to an increased demand for fast-charging stations (FCS). However, FCS can cause power quality issues such as voltage drops in distribution grids with limited power capacity. Grid reinforcements are...

Electric Vehicles (EV) have been increasingly investigated in the recent years as a potential tool for improving the flexibility of power systems. Nevertheless, this research area still lacks of modelling approaches that are able to describe the complex interactions between the different entities...

Håndbok Spenningsregulering er utarbeidet som en del av SAMREG-prosjektet, som er et forskningsprosjekt finansiert av norske distribusjonsnettselskap. Hensikten med håndboka er å gi nettselskap og andre aktører økt kunnskap om spenningsreguleringstiltak og hvordan man kan utnytte og samordne...

The power system is changing rapidly, and new tools for predicting unwanted events are needed to keep a high level of security of supply. Large volumes of data from the Norwegian power grid have been collected over several years, and unwanted events as interruptions, earth faults, voltage dips and...
