      Bremdal, Bernt Arild; Ilieva, Iliana; Tangrand, Kristoffer Meyer; Dadman, Shayan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-28)
      This paper provides a method for determining the economic incentives and limitations for a battery used for peak clipping, with the goal of finding an optimal mix between the battery’s power density and energy density. A ratio called the R-factor has been introduced, which helps determine the energy demand to curb the peak. The paper’s results embrace different investment scenarios showing what ...
    • Flexibility-Enhancing Charging Station to Support the Integration of Electric Vehicles 

      Ilieva, Iliana; Bremdal, Bernt Arild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-01)
      This paper discusses the Inspiria charging station facility in Norway, which enables various charging point operators to offer different charging systems for different purposes and needs. The charging station can be considered a specific case of a shared economy, as users share the same infrastructure and much of the same space. By utilizing new technology and the differences in charging needs in ...

    • Local energy markets as a solution for increased energy efficiency and flexibility 

      Ilieva, Iliana; Bremdal, Bernt Arild; de la Nieta Lopez, A.A.S.; Simonsen, S.H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      With increasing share of distributed renewable energy resources in the grid and arising energy consumer awareness on environmental challenges new market models are sought where energy can be traded in an efficient and end-user centric way. This trend, together with the increasing consciousness on the benefits of local consumption and production has given rise to an increased focus on local energy ...
    • Utilizing Local Flexibility Resources to Mitigate Grid Challenges at Electric Vehicle Charging Stations 

      Ilieva, Iliana; Bremdal, Bernt Arild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-12)
      Charging of electric vehicles (EVs) on a large scale can cause problems for the grid. Utilizing local flexibility resources, such as smart charging, stationary battery, vehicle-to-grid applications, and local generation can be an efficient way to contain the grid challenges and mitigate the need for grid reinforcement. Focusing on the INSPIRIA charging station located in Norway, this paper investigates ...
