Researchers have proposed that fleets of plug-in hybrid vehicles could be used to perform ancillary services for the electric grid. Inmany of these studies, the vehicles are able to accrue revenue for performing these grid stabilization services, which would offset the increased purchase cost of plug-in hybrid vehicles. To date, all such studies have assumed a vehicle command architecture that ...

With the aggregation of distributed generators and loads, a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) can participate on electricity markets and provide ancillary services. This paper describes technological control capabilities of distributed energy resources (DER) to provide future ancillary services for distribution and transmission network operation. The analysed future ancillary services comprise frequenc...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can become valuable resources for an electric power system by providing vehicle to grid (V2G) services, such as energy storage and ancillary services. We use a unit commitment model of the Texas power system to simulate system operations with different-sized PHEV fleets that do and do not provide V2G services, to estimate the value of those services. We ...

Aspects of Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS) in the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) are discussed. Several aspects are identified as being relatively unique and beneficial for the integration of large quantities of variable renewables. These include fully dynamic setting of regulation reserves based upon real-time measurement of the time error, a sophisticated ‘causer pay...

The flexibility provided by prosumers is recognized as a key element for the management of electrical grids, in particular distribution changing scenario electricity generation and consumption. useful to Distribution System Operators (DSOs) strongly local, it necessary identify busses grid where can be usefully service requested DSO. For this purpose, concept perimeter adopted; defined set such...
