Abstract
The widespread deployment of electric taxis (ETs) and their integration into the power grid have exacerbated load fluctuations. While Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology presents a viable solution, the frequent cycling of charging and discharging accelerates battery degradation, increasing battery replacement costs and potentially undermining the economic feasibility of ET adoption. This study examines ET in Shenzhen by leveraging GPS trajectory data to construct an analytical framework that integrates a map-matching algorithm with a multi-objective optimization model. The framework evaluates the economic implications and grid load fluctuations associated with ETs in parked and driving modes. The results of this study indicate that ETs can effectively reduce grid load fluctuations by up to 0.7683 % in parked mode through rational planning of charging and discharging time. Simultaneously, ETs achieve significant economic benefits of up to USD 5.92 per day. In contrast, the economic benefits in driving mode are lower than in parked mode, leading to a net loss of USD 5.92 per day for ETs with short discharge times. These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing ET charging and discharging and enhancing grid stability.
期刊介绍:
Transport Policy is an international journal aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in transport. Its subject areas reflect the concerns of policymakers in government, industry, voluntary organisations and the public at large, providing independent, original and rigorous analysis to understand how policy decisions have been taken, monitor their effects, and suggest how they may be improved. The journal treats the transport sector comprehensively, and in the context of other sectors including energy, housing, industry and planning. All modes are covered: land, sea and air; road and rail; public and private; motorised and non-motorised; passenger and freight.
