Fuel Cell and Battery Electric Vehicles as power plants: a techno-economic scenario analysis in two climates for smart cities

A techno-economic scenario analysis is done for fully renewable energy and transport systems in two smart urban areas in Europe (Hamburg and Murcia). Both city areas are reliant on wind and solar electricity, and use Battery Electric Vehicle(s) (BEV) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle(s) (FCEV) as backup electricity plants. The energy systems...

Exploring the role of battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles in a sustainable smart city

Battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles have the potential to cover the shortage in renewable power generation by engaging in vehicle-to-grid. However, the vehicle-to-grid service cannot completely make up for the intermittent nature of renewables. Deterministic models were used to compute the extent to which the vehicles can engage in...
