Project Aim
The project was carried out to study the effect the adoption of electric vehicles would have on the electrical supply/demand for Findhorn Ecovillage. This was achieved through completion of the objectives detailed below.
Project Objectives
• Acquire data on the current Ecovillage electrical demand and residential travel profiles
• Create a model to simulate an electric vehicle charging, with the option to alter the parameters to simulate different EVs
• Construct a calculator to generate an annual time-series electric vehicle charging demand for the Ecovillage residents for different
adoption rates
•25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of current cars transition to electric vehicles
• Simulate the new Ecovillage electrical supply/demand for each adoption percentage
• Investigate whether electrical storage or additional generation capacity is required for the Ecovillage according to the predetermined Key
Performance Indicator:
• Remain a net exporter of electricity
