Sensitivity on Battery Prices <strong>and</strong> Capacity onboard Electric Drive Vehicles <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Effects on<strong>the</strong> Power System ConfigurationAuthor: Nina Juul, Risø National Laboratory <strong>for</strong> Sustainable <strong>Energy</strong>, TechnicalUniversity of Denmark, Roskilde, Denmark, email: njua@risoe.dtu.dkAbstractThe need <strong>for</strong> reserves is increasing with increasing fluctuating production capacities in<strong>the</strong> power system. For flexible reserves, ei<strong>the</strong>r reserves with fast response time areneeded, or storage options are to be investigated. In <strong>the</strong> transport system, <strong>the</strong> expectation<strong>for</strong> electric drive vehicles, including both battery electric vehicles <strong>and</strong> plug-in hybrids, isthat <strong>the</strong>y will be taking over parts of <strong>the</strong> market within <strong>the</strong> next decade or two. Theelectric drive vehicles can provide some of <strong>the</strong> flexibility needed in <strong>the</strong> power systemboth in terms of flexible dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> electricity storage. The question is how muchreserve capacity in terms of batteries is interesting <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> power system? To answer thatquestion, <strong>the</strong> optimal capacity of <strong>the</strong> battery in a vehicle is to be found, given <strong>the</strong> use of<strong>the</strong> battery <strong>for</strong> both driving <strong>and</strong> storage in <strong>the</strong> power system. Likewise, <strong>the</strong> prices atwhich <strong>the</strong> electric drive vehicles are interesting in a cost minimisation problem are to befound. This article presents an analysis of <strong>the</strong> integrated power <strong>and</strong> transport systemfocusing on <strong>the</strong> sensitivity in <strong>the</strong> power system according to battery capacity <strong>and</strong> price,in a situation where <strong>the</strong> vehicles use smart charge <strong>and</strong> are able to deliver power back to<strong>the</strong> grid (vehicle-to-grid). The analyses show that it is very beneficial to introduce <strong>the</strong>flexibility of <strong>the</strong> battery, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> larger <strong>the</strong> battery, <strong>the</strong> more benefits are included,although, <strong>the</strong> marginal benefit decreases. For very high battery prices, large batteriesimply that investments in diesel vehicles are preferred.1 IntroductionElectric drive vehicles (EDVs) are of increasing interest in a world with intensified focuson climate <strong>and</strong> CO 2 -emissions. Integration of <strong>the</strong> power <strong>and</strong> transport systems has greatpotentials in terms of synergies between fluctuating renewable energy <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> possibilityof storing electricity on board <strong>the</strong> EDVs. For <strong>the</strong> configuration of <strong>the</strong> power system, <strong>the</strong>value of <strong>the</strong> batteries depends on <strong>the</strong> price, whereas, <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> operation of <strong>the</strong> powersystem, <strong>the</strong> value of <strong>the</strong> batteries depends on <strong>the</strong> capacities.In this article, <strong>the</strong> consequences on <strong>the</strong> power system operation <strong>and</strong> configuration areanalysed given various battery prices <strong>and</strong> capacities in <strong>the</strong> EDVs. Based on a model ofan integrated power <strong>and</strong> transport system described in [1], scenarios are analysed <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>nor<strong>the</strong>rn European power system.The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept has been described by Kempton <strong>and</strong> Tomíc [2]. [3]<strong>and</strong> [4] give an overview of potentials of grid-to-vehicle (G2V) <strong>and</strong> V2G capabilities.The EDVs providing regulation, operating reserves, etc. to <strong>the</strong> power system has beenanalysed by a number of researchers. In [5] <strong>the</strong> economic details on providing <strong>the</strong>different services have been analysed.Integrating <strong>the</strong> power <strong>and</strong> transport systems influences <strong>the</strong> power production. The impactof <strong>the</strong> integration has, so far, only been quantified by few researchers. Lund <strong>and</strong>Kempton [6] have looked into <strong>the</strong> value of V2G with different wind penetrations <strong>and</strong>how <strong>the</strong> EDVs can help integrate more wind. Investment analysis <strong>and</strong> optimal operationof <strong>the</strong> integrated power <strong>and</strong> transport system has been introduced in [1] <strong>and</strong> in [7] interms of illustrative cases on <strong>the</strong> Danish <strong>and</strong> Portuguese energy systems respectively.Risø International <strong>Energy</strong> Conference 2011 Proceedings Page 416
