Linking mobile and stationary energy system: potential for plug-in hybrid vehicles

• Increasing demands for energy efficiency in transportation, as well as recentadvances in electric conversion, control, and storage have facilitated theelectrification of the automobile and increased the attractiveness of gridelectricity for transportation energy. The viability of using electric vehiclesfor personal transportation, with a focus on plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs),is investigated. Important factors determining the viability are identified andvarious implications of possible linking of the stationary and mobile systemare assessed. It is found that the design of PHEVs has to be individually adoptedto increase their competitiveness. Moreover, synergies can be reached inthe integration of PHEV with the electric system, even though participation inregulatory markets is unlikely to push the introduction of PHEV.
