Analysis of a Scenario of Large Scale Adoption of Electrical Vehicles in Nord-trøndelag

With the Klimaforliket (Agreement on climate policy) signed by the Norwegian government on January 17th 2008, Nor-way has set a goal to reduce emission caused by transportation with 2,5 - 4 million tons CO2 equivalents compared with the reference for 2020[1]. To reach this goal, a high penetration of electrical vehicles is essential, and new technologies and solutions for the infrastructure must be cleared early in the process. With the aim of triggering and stimulating a discussion in the topic, this paper will present a methodology for the analysis of the impact of large scale adoption of EVs on the electrical grid. A specific portion of a real network will be selected and two charging modalities for the electric vehicles will be investigated.
