Description
With the growing concerns on energy depletion and global warming nowadays, electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to become more popular around the world in the upcoming years. EVs produce zero-emission in driving and can be more energy-efficient than conventional vehicles. Also through proper regulations, EVs could be used for enable higher integration of more renewable energy resources into the power system. Although the EVs have not been widely deployed at present, it is expected to play an important role in the ongoing transportation electrification initiative. In particular, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) which can be powered by both electricity and gasoline are becoming a new form of distributed energy resource. They could make contributions to the power system in many ways. This presentation use easy-to-understand interpretation, data and charts to explain make the key concepts and applications of PHEVs. In addition, this presentation will discuss the benefits and applications of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which enables bidirectional energy transfer between PHEVs and the power grid. As one of the most promising technologies for smart grid, V2G technology makes it possible for PHEVs to participate in ancillary services and peak load shaving. With V2G technology, PHEVs can benefit the power system by: 1) providing spinning reserves; 2) providing frequency regulation service; 3) shaving the peak load; and 4) reducing the charging cost. In conclusion, this presentation gives a clear introduction to both methods and benefits of the integration of massive PHEVs into the power grid.
