Assessing the Robustness of the Urban Transport–Energy Nexus: Evidence from the Glasgow City Region

Understanding these risks is vital for existing developing advanced methodologies that support adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), adaptation to climate risks, and resilience of the transport–energy nexus. Research has explored renewable integration and smart grid solutions, but less attention has been given to how distribution network faults interact with emerging EV charging demand in dense urban settings. This paper addresses this gap through a case study of Glasgow City. Using power flow analysis, the study shows that climate events resulting in faults on the grid could considerably impact the grid supply points, whereas the voltage levels in a urban environment will stay within boundaries.
