TLDR
In this article, the authors explore both the promise and the possible pitfalls of the plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept, focusing first on its definition and then on its technical state-of-the-art.

Electric vehicles in imperfect electricity markets: A German case study

TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of a fleet of plug-in electric vehicles on the imperfectly competitive German electricity market with a game-theoretic model were analyzed, showing that vehicle loading increases generator profits, but decreases consumer surplus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding parasitic energy costs for PHEV conversion packs as we move toward V2G

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the specific situation where existing hybrid vehicles might be converted to plug-in functionality by adding a supplementary battery pack to extend the driving range while keeping the electric/gasoline hybrid drive-train intact.

Addressing the Barriers to Regional Electric Vehicle Projects through Stakeholder Engagement

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a three-phase research methodology to identify and provide guidance to help address the barriers preventing the expansion of one of the most rapidly growing transportation alternatives: electric vehicles.
Book ChapterDOI

Assessment of BEVs Use in Urban Environment

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of cars with different types of propulsion (gasoline, diesel, electric and plug-in hybrid engines) was performed to evaluate which of them is currently the most beneficial to use in the city in environmental, technical and economic terms.

Vehicle-to-grid power fundamentals: Calculating capacity and net revenue

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the three vehicle types that can produce V2G power and the power markets they can sell into, and developed equations to calculate the capacity for grid power from three types of electric drive vehicles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using fleets of electric-drive vehicles for grid support

TL;DR: In this article, the economic potential of two utility-owned fleets of battery-electric vehicles to provide power for a specific electricity market, regulation, in four US regional regulation services markets was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integration of renewable energy into the transport and electricity sectors through V2G

TL;DR: In this paper, two national energy systems are modelled, one for Denmark, including combined heat and power (CHP) and the other a similarly sized country without CHP (the latter being more typical of other industrialized countries).
Journal ArticleDOI

Life cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from plug-in hybrid vehicles: implications for policy.

TL;DR: Life cycle GHG emissions from PHEVs are assessed and it is found that they reduceGHG emissions by 32% compared to conventional vehicles, but have small reductions compared to traditional hybrids.

Impacts Assessment of Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles on Electric Utilities and Regional US Power Grids: Part 1: Technical Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the regional percentages of the energy requirements for the U.S. light duty vehicle stock that could be supported by the existing grid, based on 12 NERC regions.
