Abstract

The construction and development of the new power system with new energy sources as the main component will face significant challenges in terms of scarcity of flexible resources. User-side adjustable loads and energy storage, particularly electric vehicles (EVs), will serve as substantial reservoirs of flexibility, providing stability to the new power system. The rapid deployment of renewable energy and the surpassing of expectations in the penetration rate of EVs in China present opportunities for the significant growth of virtual power plants (VPPs) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interactions. The enormous potential and advantages of V2G as a primary user-side resource are further revealed. Under China's current electricity market policies, the pilot projects of user-side interactions are being analyzed. Furthermore, the prospects for the future development of VPPs and V2G, along with relevant recommendations and perspectives regarding business models, technologies, and policies, are highlighted. The development of VPPs and V2G interactions in China holds immense potential for leveraging adjustable resources, especially EVs and energy storages with lithium-ion batteries, to enhance grid flexibility and stability.

中国用户侧的灵活性:虚拟电厂(VPP)和车辆到电网(V2G)的交互

以新能源为主要组成部分的新型电力系统的建设和发展将面临柔性资源稀缺的重大挑战。用户侧可调节负载和储能，特别是电动汽车，将成为灵活性的重要水库，为新电力系统提供稳定性。中国可再生能源的快速部署和电动汽车普及率的超出预期，为虚拟发电厂(vpp)和车对网(V2G)互动的显著增长提供了机会。V2G作为主要用户端资源的巨大潜力和优势进一步显现。在中国现行的电力市场政策下，用户侧交互的试点项目正在进行分析。此外，重点介绍了vpp和V2G的未来发展前景，以及有关商业模式、技术和政策的建议和观点。在中国，vpp和V2G互动的发展具有巨大的潜力，可以利用可调节资源，特别是电动汽车和锂离子电池储能，增强电网的灵活性和稳定性。

期刊介绍： eTransportation is a scholarly journal that aims to advance knowledge in the field of electric transportation. It focuses on all modes of transportation that utilize electricity as their primary source of energy, including electric vehicles, trains, ships, and aircraft. The journal covers all stages of research, development, and testing of new technologies, systems, and devices related to electrical transportation. The journal welcomes the use of simulation and analysis tools at the system, transport, or device level. Its primary emphasis is on the study of the electrical and electronic aspects of transportation systems. However, it also considers research on mechanical parts or subsystems of vehicles if there is a clear interaction with electrical or electronic equipment. Please note that this journal excludes other aspects such as sociological, political, regulatory, or environmental factors from its scope.
