Grid Operation Assessment under a Specific EV Chargers Deployment Plan in the City of Heraklion

The development of electric vehicles (EVs) as part of the electrification of the transportation sector plays a significant role in energy transition to a low-carbon and highly renewable society. The use of EVs has been promoted through the development of inclusive strategies for electromobility in t...
