Impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on the electric power system in the western United States

摘要: An analysis identifying future impacts on the electric power system due to additional load from plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) is presented. The operation of in western United States was simulated under a baseline scenario (i.e., without PHEVs) and three scenarios with PHEVs. latter assumed different time periods throughout day when PHEVs would be charging. study that comprised 10% total number light duty road 2020. Results simulations are presented, potential PHEV charging system's generation mix transmission network identified. Conclusions drawn may apply systems other parts States.
