Abstract

Author(s): Jenn, Alan; Brown, Austin | Abstract: California has goals of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2045 and 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035. Electric vehicles will introduce significant new demand for electricity at the same time the state’s electricity grid is incorporating more intermittent energy sources, raising concerns about grid reliability. However, the flexibility of electric vehicle charging provides a potentially powerful asset in mitigating the challenges of a renewable energybased electricity grid. Smart charging—adapting electric vehicle charging based on the conditions of the power system and the needs of the vehicle user—can take advantage of this flexibility by charging vehicles when renewable energy is readily available. Researchers at UC Davis simulated 100% electric vehicle adoption and a 100% renewable energy-powered electricity grid by 2045 in California. They then compared a scenario of regular electric vehicle charging behavior with a scenario of advanced, flexible, smart charging under which charging is aligned with renewable energy availability, to understand how smart vehicle charging could benefit the electricity grid.

在加州，电动汽车的智能充电将减少排放和成本，实现100%可再生能源的未来

作者:Jenn, Alan;摘要:加州的目标是到2045年实现100%的可再生能源，到2035年实现100%的零排放汽车销售。电动汽车将带来大量新的电力需求，与此同时，该州的电网正在整合更多的间歇性能源，这引发了对电网可靠性的担忧。然而，电动汽车充电的灵活性为减轻基于可再生能源的电网的挑战提供了潜在的强大资产。智能充电——根据电力系统的条件和车辆用户的需求来适应电动汽车充电，可以利用这种灵活性，在可再生能源随时可用的时候给车辆充电。加州大学戴维斯分校的研究人员模拟了到2045年加州100%电动汽车的采用和100%可再生能源供电的电网。然后，他们将常规电动汽车充电行为的场景与先进、灵活、智能充电的场景进行了比较，在这种情况下，充电与可再生能源的可用性保持一致，以了解智能汽车充电如何使电网受益。
