Quantifying the Energy-Storage Benefits of Controlled Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flexibility in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging can reduce PEV charging costs. Moreover, controlled PEV charging can be viewed as a limited form of energy storage, insomuch as charging loads are shifted from high-cost periods to lower-cost ones. Energy storage that is used for generation shifting is used in much the same manner. In this paper, we study these benefits of PEV charging, demonstrating that controlled PEV charging can reduce generation costs. We also determine how much energy storage would be needed to provide the same cost-reduction benefits that the PEV fleet does.
