New Strategies for Power Grid Integration for Electric Vehicles

A interdisciplinary method to supporting future power systems in attaining low-carbon emission targets has been proposed by a collaborative research team led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences` Shanghai Advanced Research Institute and Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

The findings were published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews on May 19th, 2023.

The researchers developed a framework of interactions with the physical flow, behavioral flow, and information flow using large-scale electric vehicle clusters as a case study.

They investigated the physical properties of electric car clusters that provide power system reserve in terms of performance, resource aggregation, scheduling tactics, and market mechanisms.

The researchers then stressed the importance of social variables, proposing a hybrid simulation technology that includes human participants as well as computer multi-agents to solve the problem of heterogeneity in user decision-making behavior.

Additionally, potential solutions for global communication coverage, frequency band interference and avoidance, communication security, and priority protection were considered and prioritized.
