Linking mobile and stationary energy system: potential for plug-in hybrid vehicles
Book chapter, 2011
Increasing demands for energy efficiency in transportation, as well as recent
advances in electric conversion, control, and storage have facilitated the
electrification of the automobile and increased the attractiveness of grid
electricity for transportation energy. The viability of using electric vehicles
for personal transportation, with a focus on plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs),
is investigated. Important factors determining the viability are identified and
various implications of possible linking of the stationary and mobile system
are assessed. It is found that the design of PHEVs has to be individually adopted
to increase their competitiveness. Moreover, synergies can be reached in
the integration of PHEV with the electric system, even though participation in
regulatory markets is unlikely to push the introduction of PHEV.
