1 Solar Powered EV Charging Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd
Background Facts ~1.5 Lac E-Rickshaws plying in Delhi; 2 Charging for about 8 to 10 hrs - for a running distance of ~ 80 kms Mostly operated by those residing in JJ clusters and Unauthorized colonies Informal charging infrastructure charging around Rs. 100/- per E Rickshaw per day
Current E-Rickshaw Charging Practices in Delhi 3 Carried out at open/unutilized space without any permission Direct theft of electricity by illegal tapping of distribution network Unsafe operating conditions with risk to human life and equipment Crude and cheap chargers combined with variable charging duration leading to reduced battery life Few operators charging from Domestic Connections
E-Rickshaw Charging locations in TPDDL area 4 Identified 14 primary locations where charging is being done currently Nearly 124 rickshaws being charged regularly Zones have been instructed to identify theft prone points; teams deployed at sit

Plan & Coverage 9 Solar plants needs to be set up at various locations in coordination with government/private agencies. Such locations should be evenly located throughout TPDDL operational area. Meters will be installed at these locations to monitor the consumption. Installation of charging stations will give rise to employment through collection of parking charges along with Solar plant maintenance at the said areas. The project will cover most of the areas with high E Rickshaw density. Metro Parking areas will also be covered in order to reinforce day charging also resulting in increased ferrying of passengers and hence more earning. Charging Stations will also be set up near to consumption areas like JJ Clusters in order to avoid power theft at night. Most of the contractors giving E Rickshaws on rent will also be encouraged for deployment of such infrastructure. Most of the charging stations will be deployed near solar plants.
Monitoring 10 All the charging stations will be deployed with meters Billing of these charging stations will be done through group metering concept as per net metering regulations of DERC. Special chargers to be deployed in order to avoid usage of electricity for any other purpose. In the first phase of this project, charging stations will be kept at authorized parking through direct or indirect supervision of consumers. The charging stations will be under constant vigil of TPDDL zonal authorities on weekly basis to avoid any damage and reporting of issues. The solar plants to be deployed in order to offset the consumption will also be monitored on regular basis to study any downturn in production due to maintenance issues.
Sustainability 11 TPDDL intends to make charging stations a sustainable model which will be on PPP basis. The charging stations will be deployed by TPDDL through support from MNRE. The Charging Stations will be kept under supervision of contractors or other authorized persons. Such supervisors can earn through parking charges due to parking of E Rickshaws at night. Most of the charging stations will be deployed near solar plants so that authorized personnel can earn through regular maintenance of solar plants in addition to charging stations. The model will also save the infrastructure from damage and other illegal activities which cannot be foreseen as of now. The model will be reviewed on quarterly basis to understand the viability of this model after coming into operations. Regular feedback will also be taken from charging station & solar plant supervisors to understand day to day problems and the action on the same will be taken on regular basis. Reports will also be submitted to MNRE on yearly basis in terms of consumption of charging station and generation of solar plants on annual basis.
EV Technology with Smart Grid Integration 12 Electric vehicles use electric motors to drive their wheels and derive some or all of their power from large, rechargeable batteries. These batteries can be utilized as reserves for enabling grid integration of RE. Grid to Vehicle Vehicle to grid EVs absorbs excess RE generation for charging their batteries. Communication channel and smart charging infrastructure help in grid to vehicle transfer of electricity Pricing signals adjusted according to the RE generation so there is an incentive for shifting charging of EV at that time. For example, low pricing will reflect high RE generation which will initiate charging of EV. EV manages decrease in RE generation by supplying back the stored energy. Communication and charging infrastructure help in vehicle to grid transfer of electricity. Distress signal communicated to EV for supplying its stored electricity to grid. In response EV will be discharged to support the power shortage.
Electric Vehicles Case Study: Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore campus 13 Laboratory of Clean Energy Research (LaCER) at the NTU conducted an analysis to assess suitability of PHEVs in a campus scale micro grid. Impact of PHEV integration in smart grid with renewable energy besides the conventional thermal power plants and diesel generators was observed. Without considering PHEV integration Wind energy is used primarily as it is utilized at zero cost. Diesel and thermal generators are used to balance wind generators OPTION 1 OPTION 2 Result In case of excess wind energy, batteries of the PHEV is charged. These batteries of the fleet are discharged when wind generation is low to support the grid. With PHEV integration Excess wind energy generation is stored in the PHEV battery (charging, G2V) and returned back when generation is less (discharging, V2G) Diesel and thermal consumption is lower. OPTION 1 OPTION 2 RESULT Source: School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, 2009
Roadmap 14 Replication of model in case of success throughout TPDDL operational Area. Exploration of other models to support the cause. Creating of infrastructure in Smart parking of Smart Cities Supporting operations and sustainability of Electric Vehicles
