“…This can lead to an overall increase in electricity production cost, through multiple mechanisms: Peak generators typically have higher marginal cost (e.g., older coal plants) or are based on technology with above-average operational flexibilities (e.g., gas, hydroelectric units) [3]. Low capacity utilization creates significant hurdles for peak generators to return a profit on capital investments [4]. Facing low returns from peak generators despite ever increasing peak demand, merchant generators are reluctant to build new peak generation facilities and instead delay the retirement of older, usually more inefficient, and hence costlier plants (e.g., [5]).…”

“…V2G could be used to support the smart grid (Tomić and Kempton, 2007), (Saber and Venayagamoorthy, 2011) and (White and Zhang, 2011). This offers V2G drivers an opportunity to cut their power costs and receive money.…”

Abstract:Due to the limited availability of fuel resources, there is an urgent need for converting to use renewable sources efficiently. To achieve this, power consumers should participate actively in power production and consumption. Consumers nowadays can produce power and consume a portion of it locally, and then could offer the rest of the power to the grid. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) which is one of the most effective sustainable solutions, could provide these opportunities. V2G can be defined as a situation where electric vehicles (EVs) offer electric power to the grid when parked. We developed an agent to trade on behalf of V2G users to maximize their profits in a day-ahead price market. We then ran the proposed model in three different scenarios using an optimal algorithm and compared the results of our solution to a benchmark. We show that our solution outperforms the benchmark strategy in the proposed three scenarios 49%, 51%, and 10% respectively in terms of profit.

“…Kempton et al (2008) pointed out that the next step in the V2G progression is to develop a business model at the "scale of 100 to 300 vehicles," which is a goal of my thesis. My research builds on the work of Kempton et al (2008) and Kempton and Tomic (2004) by considering the recent decreasing trend of RMCPs and including a comprehensive fleet-based infrastructure cost estimate derived from current technology and prices; but where my analysis makes a significant departure from this and other related research (see White & Zhang, 2010;Brooks, 2002 In a DoE report, Morrow, Karner, and Francfort (2008) detailed the infrastructure costs associated with a PHEV deployment and laid out the necessary components for the required charging infrastructure, as well as some rather realistic infrastructure cost estimates. Morrow et al (2008) also investigated the various all-electric range (AER)…”

This research performs a life-cycle cost analysis using modeling and simulation to determine the parameters under which vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration and associated revenue streams can create a viable economic case for the transition of federal fleets to PEDVs. Under current market conditions, bidirectional V2G frequency regulation (FR) is not currently viable. Unidirectional FR has potential, but it provides minimal reductions in PEDV life-cycle cost. The cost to meet petroleum reduction mandates by transitioning light-duty fleets to PEDVs is cost prohibitive and impractical, requiring almost a complete one-for-one replacement of the current fleet of traditional light-duty passenger vehicles. Realistically meeting the mandate without fleet downsizing will require implementing a transition toward alternatively fueled vehicles beyond the light-duty passenger vehicle class. However, economic justification will require a reduction in PEDV acquisition costs or improved market conditions for V2G FR (consisting of lower throughput and higher regulation market clearing prices) thereby resulting in considerably greater net revenue.
