2024 OCT 02 (NewsRx) — By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Information Technology Daily — Fresh data on data analytics are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Bolzano, Italy, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “As electric vehicle adoption grows, understanding the impact of electric vehicle charging on electricity grids becomes increasingly important.”

Financial supporters for this research include Zero Emission Life Ip.

The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Institute for Renewable Energy: “Accurate grid impact modelling requires high-quality charging infrastructure data. This study examined the electric vehicle recharging infrastructure and usage patterns in a region of the Italian Alps over a three-year period from 2021 to 2023. The primary objectives were to analyze the growth and distribution of electric vehicle charging stations, assess energy consumption, and evaluate charging behaviours across various recharging points. The research involved collecting empirical data from 411,800 recharging sessions and simulated data using the emobpy tool to model energy consumption and charging behavior. Key findings reveal a substantial increase in the number of recharging points, from 673 in 2021 to 970 in 2023, with the total energy delivered increasing from 938 MWh in 2021 to 4133 MWh in 2023. The data showed distinct temporal trends: AC points were primarily used during the day, while DC points saw higher usage during morning and late afternoon peaks, aligning with travelling times.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “The study’s validation of simulation results against empirical data emphasized the importance of high-quality input for accurate grid impact assessments. These findings suggest the necessity for strategic placement of recharging infrastructure and provide practical insights for policymakers, urban planners, and utility companies to support sustainable electric vehicle integration.”
