Grid capacity assessment for electric vehicle charging

Hydro Ottawa于2013年6月启动了一项名为“电动交通采用与预测”（EMAP）的合作研究项目，旨在帮助Hydro Ottawa服务区制定成功的电动汽车（EV）部署战略。该项目旨在分析电动汽车将在多大程度上渗透到渥太华市场，并确定引入和管理电动汽车基础设施的最有效方法，以满足司机、电力供应商和分销商的预期需求。这个拟议的项目是EMAP项目的一部分，旨在评估电网容量，以满足预期的电动汽车充电水平和模式的需求。电网评估工作基于公司提供的数据，这些数据识别和描述了渥太华市早期电动汽车采用者社区的特征。

A collaborated research project, Electric Mobility Adoption and Prediction (EMAP), has been launched by Hydro Ottawa in June 2013 to help inform the development of a successful electric vehicle (EV) deployment strategy for the Hydro Ottawa service area. The project is to analyze the degree to which EVs will penetrate the market in Ottawa and to determine the most effective approach for introducing and managing EV infrastructure to meet the anticipated needs of the drivers and of power suppliers and distributors. This proposed project is a part of the EMAP project and it aims to assess the grid capacity to service the demand for anticipated levels and patterns of EV charging. The grid assessment work is based on the company-provided data which identify and characterize early EV adopter communities within the City of Ottawa.
