**3. Case Study**

The location of this study is the parking lot situated adjacent to the train station. The area is marked by an intensive one-modal exchange for the presence of the railway station, bus stops and terminals, bike parking and taxi stops, as shown in Figure 2. It is expected that a new parking lot will soon be located adjacent to the railway station and will consist of 115 parking spaces, 5 of which will be equipped for charging EVs. The total area occupied will be 4300 m2.

In order to estimate the car park's energy consumption and then derive the relative load curve, it is necessary to determine the electrical loads belonging to the parking lot. After that, a hypothetical load curve is developed in for each utility in the most unfavorable conditions from a grid absorption point of view. The fusion of the various load curves is represented by the e ffective parking absorption curve which will ultimately be the reference energy consumption used during the successive analysis.
