FABRIC's approach towards the estimation of energy storage system requirements for grid impact reduction

摘要

In recent years there has been a significant turn towards the research and development of electric vehicles. There are several government incentives towards decarbonizing the transport sector which is a major atmospheric pollutant via greenhouse gases that conventional ICE gasoline and petrol-fueled vehicles produce during their operation. In parallel, major vehicle manufacturers have introduced hybrid and fully electric vehicles to the market trying to reach the critical mass of buyers that will result to large penetration of electromobility in the transportation sector. EVs are expected to have a significant impact on future energy supply and distribution systems since the energy required for the propulsion of millions of vehicles will be shifted from fossil fuel to electricity provided by the grid. The increased demand and the characteristics of the load, especially for new FEV charging modes such as stationary and dynamic dictate big investments towards the enlargement of grid capacity, the increased integration of ICT towards the creation of smart grids and installation of technical solutions that will reduce the impact FEVs will have on the grid stability. This paper presents the concept of FEV dynamic charging which is the focus of FABRIC IP, makes an initial assessment on the foreseen impact this charging mode will have on the grid and proposes technical solutions for increasing grid stability.
