The added load that a PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) fleet imposes on the existing electrical grid is of great concern to the electric utility industry. In this paper, analysis was done for a PHEV fleet which consists of 6 PHEVs that were instrumented using data loggers for a period of approximately one year. Systematic analysis using a clustering approach was carried out for the real world velocity profiles. A driving pattern recognition algorithm was developed based on the clustering of the results and Markov-chain model was used for the stochastic velocity generation for different driving patterns. The work of this paper is a part of a larger project in which a mass simulation of a neighborhood of PHEVs will be conducted based on statistical representations of key factors such as vehicle usage patterns, vehicle characteristics, and market penetration of PHEVs.

Abstract
The added load that a PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) fleet imposes on the existing electrical grid is of great concern to the electric utility industry. In this paper, analysis was done for a PHEV fleet which consists of 6 PHEVs that were instrumented using data loggers for a period of approximately one year. Systematic analysis using a clustering approach was carried out for the real world velocity profiles. A driving pattern recognition algorithm was developed based on the clustering of the results and Markov-chain model was used for the stochastic velocity generation for different driving patterns. The work of this paper is a part of a larger project in which a mass simulation of a neighborhood of PHEVs will be conducted based on statistical representations of key factors such as vehicle usage patterns, vehicle characteristics, and market penetration of PHEVs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
