In this context, different control strategies are introduced. To investigate indirect control via electricity tariffs, an electricity market analysis is conducted of a system with a high share of genera- tion from renewable electricity sources. The analysis uses driving data collected from battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in a research project which means that real charging and driving behavior can be considered. The results show that it is difficult to implement smart charging based on economic argu- ments because the incentives from day-ahead electricity markets are relatively small. In addition, a novel, autonomous control approach is discussed for plug- in electric vehicles. While measuring the voltage at the grid connection point, plug-in electric vehicles are able to fully independently generate operation schedules that can avoid load peaks and integrate fluctuating power outputs from distributed renewable generation sources. The results reveal that combining indirect, price-based control to consider the system level with autonomous voltage-based control to consider the situation in distribution grids is a very promising control approach that allows electric vehicles to benefit from sustainable renewable generation and avoids load peaks due to simultaneous charging.

In theory, using RES to power vehicles is a win-win situation. PEVs are ideal RES consumers because of their high electricity-to-wheel efficiency compared to fuel cell vehicles or those based on liquefying RES. RES installations benefit from PEV demand that could boost RES expansion. In practice, this interaction is more complex because the most promising RES – photovoltaic and wind energy – are fluctuating sources. The value that needs to be considered when combining renewable generation and PEVs is not the amount of energy available (in kWh) but rather the amount of power available (in kW) . The far-reaching changes fluctuating generation will bring to modern electricity systems are illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1: Example of the possible residual load situation for 3 weeks in sum- mer, Germany, 2030 The diagram shows the fluctuating generation, the system load and the resulting residual load for an example scenario reflecting a likely situation in Germany in 2030. The residual load fluctuation for these three weeks in sum- 2 Plug-in electric vehicles automated charging control mer is mainly caused by the high installed photovoltaic capacity. Compared to the system load, huge ramp rates can be observed and, for some hours, the generation from fluctuating sources even surpasses the system load demand (negative residual load). PEVs are able to balance the increasing fluctuation of the residual load by pro- viding flexible charging loads and vehicle-to-grid services (V2G). This makes it possible to integrate RES into the energy system. To achieve this win-win situa- tion, it is necessary to develop flexible control strategies that are able to mana- ge the rapid changes in electricity systems with high RES shares. 1.2 The iZEUS Project The

Foreword The global energy supply system is currently in transition from one that relies on polluting and depleting inputs to a system that relies on non-polluting and non-depleting inputs that are dominantly abundant and intermittent. Optimising the stability and cost-effectiveness of such a future system requires seamless integration and control of various energy inputs. The role of energy supply management is therefore expected to increase in the future to ensure that customers will continue to receive the desired quality of energy at the required time. The COP21 Paris Agreement gives momentum to renewables. The IPCC has reported that with current GHG emissions it will take 5 years before the carbon budget is used for +1,5C and 20 years for +2C.

  • Revisiting the Merit-Order Effect of Renewable Energy Sources
    Revisiting the Merit-Order Effect of Renewable Energy Sources Marcus Hildmann, Andreas Ulbig and Goran¨ Andersson Abstract An on-going debate in the energy economics and power market community has raised the question if energy- only power markets are increasingly failing due to growing feed-in shares from subsidized renewable energy sources (RES). The short answer to this is: No, they are not failing. Energy-based power markets are, however, facing several market distortions, namely from the gap between the electricity volume traded at day-ahead markets versus the overall electricity consumption as well as the (wrong) regulatory assumption that variable RES generation, i.e., wind and photovoltaic (PV), truly have zero marginal operation costs. In this paper we show that both effects over-amplify the well-known merit-order effect of RES power feed-in beyond a level that is explainable by underlying physical realities, i.e., thermal power plants being willing to accept negative electricity prices to be able to stay online due to considerations of wear & tear and start-stop constraints. We analyze the impacts of wind and PV power feed-in on the day-ahead market for a region that is already today experiencing significant feed-in tariff (FIT)-subsidized RES power feed-in, the EPEX German- Austrian market zone (≈ 20% FIT share). Our analysis shows that, if the necessary regulatory adaptations are taken, i.e., increasing the day-ahead market’s share of overall load demand and using the true marginal costs of RES units in the merit-order, energy- based power markets can remain functional despite high RES power feed-in.

  • Merit Order of Energy Storage by 2030 – Executive Summary
    Merit Order of Energy Storage by 2030 – Executive Summary Merit Order of Energy Storage by 2030 – Executive Summary Aim and approach The study “Merit Order of Energy Storage by 2030” aimed at the analysis and systematical assessment of measures for flexibilisation via functional energy storage. Therefore, power to heat, flexibilisation of load in industrial and private household applications, electromobility, stationary battery storage, pumped hydro storage as well as power2gas were investigated. In the context of the study, the term “Merit Order” is understood as a comparative ranking of different storage technologies. This ranking of storage technologies is done with respect to their added value from a system as well as business perspective by means of storage expansion. For this purpose, an innovative approach was used: multiobjective technology rankings were combined with a spatially and highly time resolved energy system analysis. For Germany and Austria a linearized unit commitment model was used to perform hourly resolved simulations on the transmission system level. Exchange within Europe was considered with a country specific resolution. Every weather dependent input data was modeled with meteorological data from the year 2012. Renewable energy capacities in Germany were taken from the grid development plan 2015 which results in 60 GW photovoltaic, 76 GW onshore- and 14 GW offshore-wind power for 2030. In contrast to the grid development plan, technological advances of onshore wind power turbines are taken into account, which leads to full load hours of newly installed units of 3000 instead of 2000. Hereby, the capacity-directed expansion corridor results in a renewable energy share of up to 75 % in electrical supply by 2030 which is significantly more than stated in the coalition contract of the federal government of Germany (55 % by 2035).

  • The Integration of Renewable Energy Sources and Electric Vehicles Into
    Šare et al. Energy, Sustainability and Society (2015) 5:27 DOI 10.1186/s13705-015-0055-7 SHORT COMMUNICATION Open Access The integration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles into the power system of the Dubrovnik region Anamarija Šare2*, Goran Krajačić1, Tomislav Pukšec1 and Neven Duić1 Abstract Background: In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, governments seek to replace conventional fuels by renewable ones. Nowadays, most attention is paid to electric vehicles in the transport systems and the use of renewable energy in the power systems. The aim of this work is to achieve a 100 % renewable and sustainable system and to examine the impact of electrification in the transport sector on the power curve and the integration of renewable energy into the power systems of the Dubrovnik region up to 2050. Methods: The analyses of different charging regulation models for the electric vehicles were derived in the EnergyPLAN, which is a computer model for Energy Systems Analysis of the major energy systems and runs on an hourly basis. Calculations were done for selected years—2020, 2030 and 2050. Charging models provided in the EnergyPLAN were dumb charge, flexible demand, smart charge and smart charge with vehicle-to-grid. For each year, two different charging models were selected. Charging regulations according to three tariff models, based on a lower and higher electricity price, with different distributions, were also done for 2050, i.e. tariff model 1, 2 and 3. Results: The results for the year 2020 showed no difference between the models. In 2030, smart charge gained better results than a flexible demand.

  • Strategies for Plug-In Electric Vehicle-To-Grid (V2G) and Photovoltaics (PV) for Peak Demand Reduction in Urban Regions in a Smart Grid Environment
    Chapter 7 Strategies for Plug-in Electric Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Photovoltaics (PV) for Peak Demand Reduction in Urban Regions in a Smart Grid Environment Ricardo Rüther, Luiz Carlos Pereira Junior, Alice Helena Bittencourt, Lukas Drude and Isis Portolan dos Santos Abstract The strategy of using Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) for vehicle-to- grid (V2G) energy transfer in a smart grid environment can offer grid support to distribution utilities, and opens a new revenue opportunity for PEV owners. V2G has the potential of reducing grid operation costs in demand-constrained urban feeders where peak-electricity prices are high. Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy con- version can also assist urban distribution grids in shaving energy demand peaks when and where there is a good match between the solar irradiation resource availability and electricity demands. This is particularly relevant in urban areas, where air-conditioning is the predominant load, and on-site generation a wel- come resource. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) plus short-term storage can offer additional grid support in the early evening, when solar irradiation is no longer available, but loads peak. When PEVs become a widespread technology, they will represent new electrical energy demands for generation, transmission and R. Rüther () · L.C.P. Junior · A.H.

  • Electrofuels from Excess Renewable Electricity at High Variable
    Sustainable Energy & Fuels View Article Online PAPER View Journal | View Issue Electrofuels from excess renewable electricity at high variable renewable shares: cost, greenhouse Cite this: Sustainable Energy Fuels, 2021, 5,828 gas abatement, carbon use and competition† Markus Millinger, *a Philip Tafarte, bc Matthias Jordan,ade Alena Hahn,de e ade Kathleen Meisel and Daniela Thran¨ Increasing shares of variable renewable electricity (VRE) generation are necessary for achieving high renewable shares in all energy sectors. This results in increased excess renewable electricity (ERE) at times when supply exceeds demand. ERE can be utilized as a low-emission energy source for sector coupling through hydrogen production via electrolysis, which can be used directly or combined with a carbon source to produce electrofuels. Such fuels are crucial for the transport sector, where renewable alternatives are scarce. However, while ERE increases with raising VRE shares, carbon emissions decrease and may become a limited resource with several usage options, including carbon Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. storage (CCS). Here we perform a model based analysis for the German case until 2050, with a general analysis for regions with a high VRE reliance. Results indicate that ERE-based electrofuels could achieve a greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement of 74 MtCO2eq yearly (46% of current German transport emissions) by displacing fossil fuels, at high fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) shares, at a cost of 250–320 V per tCO2eq. The capital expenditure of electrolysers was found not to be crucial for the cost, despite low capacity factors due to variable ERE patterns. Carbon will likely become a limiting factor when aiming for stringent climate targets and renewable electricity-based hydrocarbon electrofuels replacing fossil fuels Received 17th July 2020 achieve up to 70% more GHG abatement than CCS.

  • The Merit Order of Demand Response in Industry
    ENERDAY - 9TH Conference on energy economics and technology, Dresden/Germany The Merit Order of Demand Response in Industry Anna Gruber1, Franziska Biedermann1, Serafin von Roon1 1Forschungsgesellschaft für Energiewirtschaft mbH, Am Blütenanger 71, D-80995 München, +49 89 158 121-62, [email protected], www.ffegmbh.de Abstract: In previous studies the potential for Demand Response of cross-sectional technologies as well as electricity-intensive processes were analyzed. Two types of load flexibilization were considered: load shedding and load shifting. Furthermore, first calculations of the cost for DR with cross-sectional technologies were conducted, whereas a calculation for the electricity- intensive process is still missing. This paper deals with a new method for determining the opportunity costs of Demand Response across sectors. On the basis of the cost structure of a company as well as the electricity price the opportunity costs for the electricity-intensive industry is calculated. All results are summarized in an overall Merit Order curve for Demand Response. Keywords: Demand Side Management, Demand Response, flexibilization of load, electricity-intensive processes, cross-sectional technologies, cost analysis; Merit Order 1 Introduction The structure of the European energy economy is changing. Due to the 20-20-20-goals of the European Union both energy supply and demand need to be restructured. Until 2020 the European Union committed the following targets: the reduction of greenhouse gases by 20 % compared to 1990 the share of renewable energies of total energy consumption shall be 20 % an increase of energy efficiency by 20 % The ambitious objectives of the German ”Energiewende” can be achieved by different measures, such as grid expansion or installation of storages.
