Electric Vehicles in Danish Power System with Large Penetration of Wind Power

Electric vehicles(EVs) provide a unique opportunity for reducing the CO2 emissions from the transport sector.At the same time,EVs have the potential to play an important role in the economical and reliable operation of an electricity system with high penetration of renewable energy.An analysis is made of the potential for using EVs in Denmark,and the benefits of the electric power system with high wind power generation by intelligent charging and discharging of EVs are enumerated.Based on the analysis,important technological gaps are identified,and the corresponding research and development initiatives of the recently established EDISON program are described.Moreover,the latest development of the EDISON program is treated,that is,EDISON as a research consortium to design a new model for the Danish power system with high penetration of wind power and EVs with vehicle to grid(V2G).The managing structure of V2G adopting virtual power plant(VPP) technology is proposed.
