Dispatch model for analysing the impacts of electric vehicles charging patterns on power system scheduling, grid emissions intensity, and emissions abatement costs

Dispatching of generating resources at Power Stations is a complex task based on the balance economics, contractual agreement, regulations, and environmental consciousness in terms emissions produced course electricity generation. The complexity could be exacerbated with integration large percentage Electric Vehicles (EVs) quest to reduce CO2 transportation sector. In this paper, dispatch model, which suitable for analysing impacts charging patterns EVs grid intensity abatement costs, described developed dispatching resources/technologies. model correlation between historical system load capacity factors units. tested data from UK power typical winter day December 2015 an assumed 50% system. Results show amongst others that off-peak period may affect optimal deployment technologies/resources storage produce higher average intensity.
