Impact of Shared Electric Vehicles Availability to Provide Peak Reduction through Vehicle-to-Grid. A Case Study

This paper presents a Mix Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization approach to reduce peak demand and maximize revenue in a grid-connected building with a PV-equipped charging station for Shared EVs. The study investigates the impact of EV availability on the effectiveness of the system by comparing the results for different connection...

Exploring the potential of the vehicle-to-grid service in a sustainable smart city

The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) service is slowly gaining momentum in its capacity to engage as a means of distributed generation. An aggregator's role is pivotal in the need to coordinate vehicles for V2G and maintain the security of supply of its customer base. The paper focuses on comparing the performance of the energy system when an aggregator...

Exploring the profit potential of energy storage in a car park using electrolysis, hydrogen storage and fuel cell electric vehicles

The Car Park as Power Plant (CPPP) is a main business concept related to a future integrated sustainable mobility and energy system in which hydrogen is a key energy carrier. In order to investigate the uncertain profitability of the CPPP concept, an optimisation model has been developed of a CPPP system that includes an electrolyser, a hydrogen...

Future of Electric Vehicle Charging

Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EV) will be the key factor for ensuring a smooth transition to e-mobility. This paper focuses on five technologies that will play a fundamental role in this regard: smart charging, vehicle-to-grid (V2G), charging of EVs from photovoltaic panels (PV), contactless charging and on-road charging of...

Fuel cell electric vehicle to grid & H2: Balancing national electricity, heating & transport systems a scenario analysis for Germany in the year 2050

In a 2050 fully renewable national electricity, heating and road transport system primary energy supply comes from non-dispatchable power generation such as solar and wind energy. Both negative and positive dispatchable balancing power plants need to balance the system. This work investigates whether parked and grid connected (Vehicle-to-Grid...

Smart use of storage potentials of electric vehicles for renewable energy generation in the built environment: A design scenario

In this paper, results are reported of a technology assessment of use of electrical vehicles for energy storage (of renewable sources), their integration in the built environment and attached required power and charging systems for the Netherlands. This was done as part of the DIEMIGO project on integration of electrical mobility in the built...
