Optimisation model for power system restoration with support from electric vehicles employing battery swapping
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a bi-level optimisation-based network reconfiguration model to determine the restoration paths with an objective of maximising the overall generation capability, considering the uncertainties associated with the available capacity of the batteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co-Optimization of Generation Expansion Planning and Electric Vehicles Flexibility
TL;DR: A novel planning model is proposed that allows co-optimizing the investment and operating costs of conventional generation assets and demand flexibility, in the form of smart-charging/discharging electric vehicles (EV), and includes a detailed representation of EV operational constraints along with the generation technical characteristics.

Electric vehicles as a new power source for electric utilities
Willett Kempton,Steven Letendre +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed vehicle battery storage in greatest detail, comparing three electric vehicle configurations over a range of driving requirements and electric utility demand conditions, and found that the value to the utility of tapping vehicle electrical storage exceeds the cost of the two-way hook-up and reduced vehicle battery life.
