Sensitivity Analysis of Vehicle-to-Grid based Ancillary Services

In order to decrease carbon emissions of the transport sector, the roll-out of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) aims a replacement of conventional combustion-based vehicles. Their intended power system integration goes along with increasing the share of renewable energies. Hereby, PEV have the prerequisites for intelligent charging to support...

Factors influencing the success within multi-mode standardization for selecting the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) charging standards

The transportation sector is considered to be one of the significant contributors of carbon emissions around the world. With the rise in carbon emissions, electric vehicles are increasingly becoming popular globally. Most of the developed countries are moving towards the electrification of the transportation sector at a faster pace. Although the...

Key Components for Potential Sustainable Vehicle-to-Grid Business Models within the Netherlands: A qualitative research to explore the components for sustainable Vehicle-to-Grid business models by conducting semi-structured expert-interviews

The shifts towards more use of electric vehicles and more use of renewable energy sources create the need for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. To penetrate the market, the development of V2G business models is critical. However, there are no sustainable V2G business models determined yet. Therefore, this research focused on what the key...

Dutch electric vehicle drivers' acceptance of vehicle-to-grid at long-term parking

The objective of this study was identifying factors that contribute to Dutch electric vehicle (EV) drivers’ acceptance of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) at long-term parking lots. The results of this study aim to help V2G system designers to improve the quality of bi-directional V2G charging services for EV users and to foster V2G acceptance. The...

Dutch electric vehicle drivers' preferences regarding vehicle-to-grid contracts: Examining the willingness to participate in vehicle-to-grid contracts by conducting a context-dependent stated choice experiment taking into account the EV recharging speed

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) could turn an electric vehicle (EV) into a potential source of flexibility, in order to deal with the variability and uncertainty in electricity supply brought about by renewable energy sources and the load increase caused by the adoption of EVs. However, only a few studies have focussed on the complexity of EV drivers’...

Evaluating the transition from V2G to AV2G: The autonomous battery electric vehicle as decentralised bidirectional electricity storage system

A transition to V2G is hampered by many barriers, such as battery degradation and high investment cost. A dramatic shift towards autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the future transport system drastically changes the conditions for a transition to V2G, potentially resulting in a more flexible V2G system that efficiently deals with bidirectional flows...

Cars in Technopolis: Future cars and building integrated

Assuming that cars in the near future will be fully electrical and capable of driving autonomously with or without any human on board. This resulted in two main topics in the research, architectural changes and ability to add to sustainability of buildings with these future cars. The conclusion was basically that we can reduce uses space of a...

Optimisation of smart-and Vehicle-to-Grid charging strategies in distribution networks: based on charging behaviour analysis

Currently in the energy system of the Netherlands, lower level consumer demand flexibility is rather obsolete due to sufficient capacity limits of the distribution network and supply of capacity mechanisms by large industrial actors. However, in the upcoming 10- 20 years, the power system is in transition to become decentralised with a higher...

Estimating impact of Vehicle-to-Grid operation on automotive fuel cell performance

In a future scenario electric vehicles (EV) could be operated in Vehicle to Grid (V2G) mode to support the national and renewable energy electricity grid by providing ancillary services such as peak shaving and frequency regulation. While developing financial models to price these services it is important to include the impact of Vehicle to Grid...
