Abstract

Recent studies show how a strategic shift towards daytime charging of electric vehicles (EVs) has the potential to be a powerful game-changer, leveraging flexible EV loads to maintain solar value on the grid and aligning EV charging energy load with solar generation. Also, recent studies show the benefits of expanding investment in daytime charging infrastructure and reforming time-of-use rates to promote daytime charging. By harmonizing energy consumption patterns with solar supply, we can increase the solar industry's economic appeal and sustain its growth trajectory while potentially reducing cost and improving convenience for charging vehicles that are parked during the day. This study integrates all these different studies and provides a comprehensive perspective on the benefits, challenges, and barriers to implementing daytime EV charging at scale.

让电动汽车充电与太阳同步：白天充电的机会？

最近的研究表明，向电动汽车日间充电的战略转变有可能成为一个强大的游戏规则改变者，利用灵活的电动汽车负载来维持电网上的太阳能价值，并使电动汽车充电能量负载与太阳能发电保持一致。此外，最近的研究表明，扩大日间充电基础设施投资和改革使用时间费率以促进日间充电的好处。通过协调能源消耗模式和太阳能供应，我们可以增加太阳能产业的经济吸引力，维持其增长轨迹，同时潜在地降低成本，提高白天停放的车辆充电的便利性。这项研究整合了所有这些不同的研究，并对大规模实施日间电动汽车充电的好处、挑战和障碍提供了全面的视角。

期刊介绍： The Electricity Journal is the leading journal in electric power policy. The journal deals primarily with fuel diversity and the energy mix needed for optimal energy market performance, and therefore covers the full spectrum of energy, from coal, nuclear, natural gas and oil, to renewable energy sources including hydro, solar, geothermal and wind power. Recently, the journal has been publishing in emerging areas including energy storage, microgrid strategies, dynamic pricing, cyber security, climate change, cap and trade, distributed generation, net metering, transmission and generation market dynamics. The Electricity Journal aims to bring together the most thoughtful and influential thinkers globally from across industry, practitioners, government, policymakers and academia. The Editorial Advisory Board is comprised of electric industry thought leaders who have served as regulators, consultants, litigators, and market advocates. Their collective experience helps ensure that the most relevant and thought-provoking issues are presented to our readers, and helps navigate the emerging shape and design of the electricity/energy industry.
