 Project Aim & Objectives

Picture

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
