“…This paper is the first to empirically consider direct linkages between PV adoption and the ownership of EV and other electricity-intensive appliances at the household level. The only study on this topic so far comes from Delmas et al (2017), who research correlated demands for EVs and PV units in California. The authors use data at the census tract level to show that demands for these goods are correlated on the aggregate, and they interpret this as a sign of complementarity between the two goods.…”

Q-complementarity in household adoption of photovoltaics and electricity-intensive goods: The case of electric vehicles

et al. 2019

Photovoltaic (PV) units and electric vehicles (EVs) are two household goods that are the focus of much research, and many policy initiatives attempting to promote a more sustainable, low-carbon energy system. Despite both academic and practical interest in household adoption of PV units and EVs, potential linkages in these household decisions have only just begun to be explored. This paper presents q-complementarity between the goods as one possible form of a linkage between PV and EV purchases that is based on economic utility theory.We posit the goods could be q-complements due to a PV-owning household's ability to offset and shift their electricity load from EV charging to increase the self-consumption of 'home-made' electricity, thereby increasing the positive feelings of environmental efficacy and monetary returns from the PV unit. We use data from 2,541 internet surveys of Austrian residential electricity customers collected in 2018 to explore these hypotheses. Probit models of household EV and PV adoption choice are estimated, including a recursive bivariate probit model of households who plan to purchase an EV in the future, with PV ownership endogenously determined. Controlling for household income, characteristics, environmental attitudes, and neighborhood characteristics, we find that EV and PV adoption are positively correlated, and that current PV unit owners are 18% more likely to plan an EV purchase in the next 5 years compared to non-PV owners. We interpret these results as evidence in support of our hypothesis of q-complementarity between PV units and EVs, and note the potential for added benefits from incentive policies promoting adoption of one good or the other that this linkage suggests.

“…In many countries, both technologies are subsidized, while the synergy between them is not considered in the policy. Thus the efficiency of combined separated subsidy policies seems questionable, especially since these technologies are more and more likely to be acquired jointly, as pointed out in [3]. Therefore, it is also possible that subsiding features of the EV/PV synergy, as PVCS, smart buildings, or energy management systems, would be particularly efficient for both EV and PV development.…”

“…In 2017 for instance, world EV fleet has reached two million units, while solar energy has got the largest growth of all energy sources [1,2]. Both technologies meet in power grids, in a distributed way, and tend to develop geographically close [3,4]. Many works have pointed out that the flexibility of EV battery would be an excellent complement for renewable energy integration [5].…”

Hybrid Propulsion Systems for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The development of more efficient propulsion systems for aerospace vehicles is essential to achieve key objectives. These objectives are to increase efficiency while reducing the amount of carbon-based emissions. Hybrid electric propulsion (HEP) is an ideal means to maintain the energy density of hydrocarbon-based fuels and utilize energy-efficient electric machines. A system that integrates different propulsion systems into a single system, with one being electric, is termed an HEP system. HEP systems have been studied previously and introduced into Land, Water, and Aerial Vehicles. This work presents research into the use of HEP systems in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). The systems discussed in this paper are Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)-Electric Hybrid systems, ICE-Photovoltaic (PV) Hybrid systems, and Fuel-Cell Hybrid systems. The improved performance characteristics in terms of fuel consumption and endurance are discussed.
