Electricity for Road Transport, Flexible Power Systems and Wind Power

The project will focus on the potential synergistic interplay between a flexible and ‘interactive’ electricity-for-transport demand emerging from plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV), and power systems developing towards large scale integration of wind power.
Technical options are analysed as basis for the set up scenarios and consequences are derived concerning the overall system CO₂-emission, oil dependence, energy economy and the security of energy supplies.

The overall aim of the project is to analyse the potential synergistic interplay,

•  for the integration of wind power,

 that may arise between

• the power sector and 
• the transport sector

 
if parts of the road transport are based on electricity, - via the utilisation of 

• plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or 
• pure battery electric vehicles.

The project will focus on all the technical elements in the chain that comprises:

1. The electric vehicle status, potentials and expected development. Electric batteries are in focus in this part of the analysis. 
2. Demonstration, test and analysis of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle interacting with a local grid (at SYSLAB/Risø DTU). 
3. Analysis and test of grid-vehicle connection systems including technical regulation options and analysis of needs for standardisation. 
4. Setting up scenarios covering options and potential developments for utilizing electric drive trains in road transport. Period: Up to year 2030. 
5. Analysis of capacity constraints etc. in the electricity grid (transmission and distribution) as consequence of an increasing electricity demand, and new flexible consumption patterns from segments in the transport sector, and as consequence of increasing the capacity on wind power in the system. 
6. Setting up and analysis of combined scenarios covering both the heat and power system and the transport sector.

The above elements will be coordinated into consistent overall analyses
