The REVCID (Residential Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Development) model is an agent-based model, built in NetLogo 6.4.0. It’s goal is to identify strengths and weaknesses of various roll-out strategies, taking into account residential demand, growth projections, equity and grid limitations.
Parameters from a real case study were used to initialize the model (identify-neighbourhoods.nls) and parameters should be adjusted to the area of interest when using the model. The netlogo procedures can be found in different files:
- globals.nls contains the global variables (parameters) used in the model
- chargepoints-own.nls, transformators-own.nls and admins-own.nls is a list of the parameters within the chargepoint, transformer and policy-maker agents.
- identify-neighborhoods.nls contains the statistics as derived from external data (such as EVdata and CBS, see references) for each of the 9 selected case study neighborhoods
- set-parameters-grid.nls sets the charging speed of various charging modes
- determine-peak.nls adjusts the occupancy rates based on whether the hour of the day is a peak hour, and adds a random chance for higher occupancy
- grow-demand.nls sets the growth factor of the occupancy rate
- set-values-for-bs.nls turns the output into reporters that can be saved as csv or table output when running the simulations in Behaviorspace
- The nlogo file contains the entire model, interface and procedures. The nls files should be imported for the model to work.
