Wind-Integration Benefits of Controlled Plug-In Electric Vehicle Charging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flexibility in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging can reduce the ancillary cost effects of wind variability and uncertainty on electric power systems. In this paper, we study these benefits of PEV charging, demonstrating that controlled PEV charging can reduce costs associated with wind uncertainty and variability. Interestingly, we show that the system does not require complete control of PEV-charging loads to mitigate the negative cost impacts of wind variability and uncertainty. Rather, PEV owners giving the system a two-hour window of flexibility in which to recharge their vehicles provides much of the benefits that giving full charging control does.

Estimating the potential of controlled plug-in hybrid electric vehicle charging to reduce operational and capacity expansion costs for electric power systems with high wind penetration
Electric power systems with substantial wind capacity require additional flexibility to react to rapid changes in wind farm output and mismatches in the timing of generation and demand. Controlled variable-rate charging of plug-in electric vehicles allows demand to be rapidly modulated, providing an alternative to using fast-responding natural gas plants for balancing supply with demand and pot...
متن کاملQuantifying the Energy-Storage Benefits of Controlled Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging
Flexibility in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging can reduce PEV charging costs. Moreover, controlled PEV charging can be viewed as a limited form of energy storage, insomuch as charging loads are shifted from high-cost periods to lower-cost ones. Energy storage that is used for generation shifting is used in much the same manner. In this paper, we study these benefits of PEV charging, dem...

متن کاملCoping with wind power variability
Plug-in electric vehicles could offer flexibility for wind power and an attempt was made to quantify the effect with a power system model Wilmar. Wilmar simulates unit commitment and dispatch using mixed integer programming and includes wind power and load stochasticity as well as a module for plug-in electric vehicles. Forecast errors of wind power increase the need for balancing and ancillary...
