Summary:
This report is the first in the series of the overall study – “Simulation-based study to evaluate the effects of E-mobility smart charging strategies” outlining the concept of smart charging, smart charging technologies and related products & solutions, gaps in Indian regulations and policies from smart charging perspective, commercially available smart charging products and equipment, and case studies in the form of existing smart charging projects under Part A of the report. Part B of this report is dedicated to an exhaustive and critical review of various smart charging strategies and approaches.
This report sets the main context for the core objective of the overall project, which is to identify relevant smart charging and coordination strategies, appropriate policy and regulatory interventions, and way forward for seamless adoption of smart charging in Indian EV ecosystem. A holistic framework will be developed to select key strategies for modelling different scenarios under a simulation environment leading to concrete recommendations for the stakeholders. Moreover, chapter 3 of this report provides a comprehensive overview of smart charging technologies, smart chargers and related products, equipment, and commercially available chargers (along with specifications) in India, which can be useful for a wide set of stakeholders in the EV industry. Further, chapter 4 of this report provides a bird’s eye view about the smart charging scenario in India including incentives, gaps, and practical challenges. Lastly, a number of case studies / projects in smart EV charging are given in section 3.11 of chapter 3 to give a better understanding to the stakeholders about implementation of smart charging in Indian EV ecosystem.
