Abstract
A massive diffusion of EVs (plug-in hybrid or pure plug-in
electric) will impact customer energy use, load shapes, and utility
system operations. If appropriately managed, EVs represent an opportunity to
reduce environmental impact, accommodate a larger share of renewables, provide
storage and ancillary services to the grid, and ensure customers'
convenience.
This case study provides in-depth assessment on the Danish project
Electric vehicles in a Distributed and Integrated market using Sustainable
energy and Open Networks (EDISON). The EDISON project aims to
design a full-scale system for implementation of EVs in Denmark.
The study provides a description of the project' s background, approach,
and partners involved; describes ICT components; analyzes the possible lessons
to be learned; and defines the prospective impact.
"The utilities industry
recognizes that a mass market of EVs requires innovative interactions
between the customer and several stakeholders (e.g., energy companies, charging
infrastructure providers, auto and battery companies), a common hardware solution
(socket-connector charging point), and innovative communication and data handling based
on standardized metering protocols," said Roberta Bigliani, research director for
IDC Energy Insights EMEA.
