Shortt <strong>and</strong> O’Malley [8] have studied fast charge versus slow charge of <strong>the</strong> EDVs <strong>and</strong><strong>the</strong> impacts on both <strong>the</strong> power system <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> electricity prices.[9] has focused on <strong>the</strong> impacts of different battery charging strategies. Charging controlalgorithms are studied in [10] <strong>and</strong> [11]. Lipman <strong>and</strong> Hwang [12] touch on <strong>the</strong>technological innovation of batteries <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> EDVs. In [13] <strong>the</strong> characteristics <strong>for</strong>different EDVs with different battery types, <strong>the</strong>ir potentials <strong>and</strong> requirements are studied.Vehicle efficiency changes depending on battery weight is <strong>the</strong> focus of [14].Despite broad research, not many researchers have focused on <strong>the</strong> benefits or costs ofchanging battery capacity or price in <strong>the</strong> EDVs. Valuing a change in battery capacity hasbeen done by Lemoine [15] using real options, capturing <strong>the</strong> electricity price uncertainty.In this article, a model of <strong>the</strong> integrated power <strong>and</strong> transport system [1] is used to analyse<strong>the</strong> power system consequences of varying battery prices <strong>and</strong> capacities on board <strong>the</strong>EDVs.The model of <strong>the</strong> integrated power <strong>and</strong> transport is described in <strong>the</strong> next sectionincluding a touch on relevant assumptions. The base case is described in Section 3.1while Section 3.2 presents <strong>the</strong> scenarios. Results are presented in Section 4 <strong>and</strong> discussedin Section 5. Section 6 concludes.2 Balmorel with road transportBalmorel is a partial equilibrium model [16] assuming perfect competition. The modelminimises operational costs subject to constraints including renewable energy potentials,balancing of electricity <strong>and</strong> heat production, <strong>and</strong> technical restrictions. An economicallyoptimal solution is found through investment generation <strong>and</strong> electricity prices arederived from marginal system operation costs.Balmorel has three geographical entities; countries, regions, <strong>and</strong> areas. Balancing ofelectricity <strong>and</strong> transport supply <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> is on regional level, whereas balancing ofsupply <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> district heating is on area level. The optimisation horizon is oneyear. The model works with an hourly time resolution that can be aggregated into fewertime steps.Including passenger road transport in Balmorel requires activation of <strong>the</strong> transport addon[1], resulting in an analysis of <strong>the</strong> integrated power <strong>and</strong> transport system. Thetransport model includes electricity balancing in <strong>the</strong> transport system <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> powersystem - <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> integrated power <strong>and</strong> transport system. Vehicles that are non-plug-insare treated in a simplified way, since <strong>the</strong>y do not provide flexibility to <strong>the</strong> power system.2.1 AssumptionsThe model is based on assumptions to be found in [1] <strong>and</strong> [17]. Two assumptions areparticularly relevant <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> analyses in this article.PHEVs are assumed to use <strong>the</strong> battery until depletion be<strong>for</strong>e using <strong>the</strong> engine. Due toprice differences between electricity <strong>and</strong> diesel, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> differences in efficiency of <strong>the</strong>electric motor <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> diesel engine, <strong>the</strong> assumption seems reasonable.The load factor of <strong>the</strong> battery is fixed <strong>for</strong> every vehicle group, due to non-linearity in <strong>the</strong>model o<strong>the</strong>rwise. Thus, all vehicles in each group leave <strong>the</strong> grid with <strong>the</strong> same batterystate-of-charge (SOC).3 ApplicationThe model is applied to a nor<strong>the</strong>rn European case, year 2030. The base case is based onscientific data <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> scenarios have been developed with offset in <strong>the</strong> base case. Basecase <strong>and</strong> scenarios are described in <strong>the</strong> following.Risø International <strong>Energy</strong> Conference 2011 Proceedings Page 417
