Impact and Utilization of Emerging PHEV in Smart Power Systems Impact and Utilization of Emerging PHEV in Smart Power Systems F. M. Rabiul Islam A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy SCIENTIA MANU E T MENTE School of Engineering and Information Technology The University of New South Wales Canberra, Australia May 2013 Abstract Stability and quality are two important issues for the operation of power systems as an unsecured system faces a lot of unusual operating conditions due to which it can undergo blackouts and incur huge losses. In addition, the demand for electrical energy continues to grow steadily. Electric grid upgrades, and especially the con- struction of new transmission lines and loads, cannot keep pace with the demand for increasing power plant capacity and energy for various reasons. The changing characteristics and new loads of power systems continue to provide new challenges for system designers and operators. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is such a load, which can have huge impact on, and provide many opportunities for, power systems. In the planning and design of a distribution system, PHEVs are one of the most important factors as they can be a spinning reserve of energy, as well as a major load for distribution networks. The first contribution of this work is to identify the charging effect of dynamic PHEVs in a power system for which a single-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) system, solar power system and a distribution system are used. A dynamic load model of PHEVs based on a third-order battery model is introduced. To determine the adequacy of a system, it is necessary to conduct a micro-level analysis to determine the impact of the PHEV loads on the grid. The scope of such an analysis covers the performances of wind and solar generation with dynamic PHEV loads, and ii Abstract iii small signal stability analysis of the power grid demonstrates that it is important to consider the dynamics of PHEV loads. A second and unique contribution of this thesis is the design of virtual active filter for power systems using V2G technology. Nonlinear loads, inverters and con- verters used for rectifying or inverting operations absorb reactive power from the connected bus, the compensation of which is essential in power system. Moreover, the nonlinear behavior of power electronic devices produce harmonics in power net- works which are filtered by passive and active filters. Due to the increasing interest in power electronics-based nonlinear loads, the reactive power compensation and harmonic reduction method should be improved but doing so would increase the total cost as well as hardware and control complexity. In this thesis, the V2G tech- nology is used to design a virtual active filter based on the instantaneous power theory (p-q theory). The potential of a low-cost solution to the power quality prob- lem that utilizes the reactive power and filtering capabilities of PHEVs parked in charging stations is investigated. Simulations are performed for various power sys- tem networks to demonstrate that the proposed virtual active filter improves power quality while meeting IEEE standards. The other significant contribution of this research is the design of FACTS devices using V2G technology, which can fulfill multiple power flow control objectives, such as the needs of reactive shunt compensation, phase shifting and series compensation. However, as current FACTS devices are quite expensive, they are not widely used. Abstract iv Therefore, in this dissertation, the potential of PHEVs in a V2G mode of operation, which provides a low-cost solution for designs of virtual FACTS devices (UPFC, UPQC, DVR) using a PHEV charging station, is explained. Simulations undertaken demonstrate that PHEVs have the potential to work as virtual FACTS devices to improve power quality. Finally, a benchmark distribution network and microgrid are used to verify the performances of the proposed filter and FACTS devices.

  • Chapter 2 the Electric Vehicle Industry in China and India
    Chapter 2 The Electric Vehicle Industry in China and India: The Role of Governments for Industry Development Martin Lockström Thomas Callarman Liu Lei 1 Introduction With the Copenhagen discussions recently taken place, it is fair to say that the acknowledgement of global warming as a potential threat to our planet has never been greater. Despite the lack of all-embracing, world-wide consensus, the trend is nevertheless going toward a situation with strengthened control and regulatory frameworks in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, the G8 countries signed a treaty to reduce average global temperature by two degrees centigrade until year 2050. However, this calls for a multilateral commitment at all levels of society – from the beginning of the supply chain starting with raw materials extractors, not ending at the final consumer, but also considering waste and disposal after consumption. Virtually all industries are affected and especially big emitters like the automotive industry. Countries like China and India are here not exceptions, as they have both proclaimed far-reaching measures to address the global warming issue. Interestingly, whereas most Western countries have argued about pollution costs and consumer adoption, developing countries like China and India have embraced the current situation as an opportunity to turn greenhouse gas reduction into a business case and to take technological leadership in the field, focusing on the development of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids. Due to the threat from global warming, China, among many other nations around the world, has committed itself to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Furthermore, with increasing local pollution levels, increased traffic congestion, and also an ever-increasing demand for natural resources, has made the Chinese central government implementing new tougher measures in order to mitigate the current situation.

R. China Abstract--To catch up with leaders, whether latecomers for industrial practice, as some latecomer firms do use both should follow an “imitation to innovation” path or an ways to catch up at the same time. One important reason for “innovating to leapfrog” path is still not quite clear. To shine this gap between theory and practice is that the technology a some light on this issue, we focus on the case of BYD, a latecomer firm needs for catching up at a certain stage is latecomer growing from nobody to the pioneer of Chinese usually treated as a whole. In fact, the technology consists of electric automotive industry and the champion in world electric vehicle sales in a dozen years. We find that BYD catches up in a different parts, a latecomer firm may be weak in most of the bidirectional way by which it has kept doing imitation and technology that it needs to learn from imitation, but it may be innovation from the start and made them well balanced to relatively strong in a certain technology that it can do R&D achieve the best of cost performance. This is different from the and innovate. In other words, latecomer firms may not catch unidirectional view that a latecomers’ catching-up either starts up in a unidirectional way, either imitation or innovation, but from a reverse innovation way like "from imitation to in a bidirectional way that they do imitation and innovation at innovation", or from a leapfrogging way that requires the same time.
