Book title: Electric Transportation Systems in Smart Power Grids: Integration, Aggregation, Ancillary Services, and Best Practices |
Synopsis
The energy security and environmental concerns are enforcing governments to change both energy and transportation systems in the context of smart grids and smart cities. In this regard, it has been noticed a high interest in upgrading transportation systems using electric vehicles (EVs) and E-buses. This is the point where mobility meets electricity and brings new challenges and opportunities, especially in the integration with modern power systems. The main impact would be in the demand-side and the distribution network, while these impacts would be also reflected in the operation, control, security and stability of transmission systems. In the same context, the rapid and large-scale deployment of various renewable energy systems have considerably impacted the electric grid structure by moving from conventional generation to variable distributed energy production. This creates a new grid architecture characterized by growing variability and uncertainties. Moreover, the growth in the share of renewable in the total energy market is one of the major origins of the increasing fluctuations in the balance between generation and consumption in the whole system. Therefore, the key challenge lies in developing new concepts to ensure the effective integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and electric transportation systems including EVs, in existing and future market structures. To address these issues, EVs, E-bus, and other smart appliances on the demand-side can be aggregated to form virtual Power Plants which are considered as an efficient solution to provide operational flexibility to the grid. Based on aggregation and optimal control of DERs, electric vehicle aggregator increases the profit by guaranteeing various ancillary services for both low and high-voltage distribution systems. The EV-based virtual power plants can also provide several services for Distribution System Operators (DSOs), Transmission System Operator (TSO), and even local prosumers within the energy community.
