Introduction
Plug-in Electric Vehicles
Developing a PEV distribution load forecast
Some results from an eThekwini case study
PEV Market
Market adoption of PEVs
Market Drivers• Operating & maintenance cost• Source to consumption delivery cost• Imported oil dependency• Government incentives• Improvements in power electronics• Air pollution and perceived greenhouse gas reduction
Electricity Supply Market
Potential Constraining factors• Constrained generation & transmission capacity• Escalating energy cost• Constrained distribution capacity• Aging distribution infrastructure
Long range load forecasts – why?
Master plans• Network built today must serve customers
30-50 years into the future.• Matching equipment to supply saturation load allows
for optimum use of capital.
Penalty for getting it wrong• Underestimates result in reliability problems &
additional capital required to replace undersized infrastructure.
• Overestimates result in poor IRR and lead to unnecessary tariff increase to fund build programme.

Case Study Objective
• Develop a PEV forecast model
• Utilise existing long range forecast
• Superimpose PEV load contribution on existing forecast
• Assess impact on existing + planned network
PEV Forecast Model – Residential charging
• PEV market penetration - % of population• Vehicle efficiency – kWh/km• Current and future battery charge capacity• Distance travelled – km/day• Charging
• Consumer charging behaviour• Charger & battery efficiencies• Charger PF• Charging tempo

Impact on MV Network: ToU Charging
• ToU charging has insignificant effect on total network load
• ToU charging at MV level can be devastating

Controlled Charging
Other things to worry about
• Clustering• Market penetration saturation• Filling stations -> charging stations• Workplace charging• Regeneration
Conclusion (based on this case study)
Total distribution network level• No cause for concern over the next 10 years• ToU charging appears to restrain capacity requirements
at total distribution load level
Substations• PEV impact over 20 years seems negotiable at
substation level• Provided that the utility has a master plan in place (and
executes it)
Point of supply• Load control, smart meters, smart tariffs
Conclusion (based on this case study)
Importance of having a long range master plan (and executing it)
Long range load forecasts•must model PEV scenario(s)•new stakeholders in automotive industry
• Electricity distributors• Eskom EV Care
•new stakeholders in electricity distribution• PEV industry• PEV consumers
