Effect of Demand Shifting


Benefits
Save 67 billion Euros in Europe
Save 130 billion dollars in US
Reduce CO2 emission

Massive investments on smart grid


11 billion investments by Obama
US DoE target: 20% reduction of peak demand

How?
Smart metering
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

Realize real-time demand response


lower peak load

Smart

Demand information

EMS
Demand control message

Go Green
Renewable Energy Sources
Wind turbine
Solar panel

By 2030, US target: 20%


But
Renewable energy is intermittent
Highly distributed

We need
Intelligent power management strategy
Smart control system

Smart Grid = Power Grid + AMI + Renewables +

Why Electric Vehicle?


Electric Vehicle
Car run by electricity (or with gasoline)

Benefit
Reduction of CO2 emission
15% of CO2 by transportation

Drivers Cost
Reduce dependence on oil

Smart Grid = Grid + AMI + Renewable + EV

System

EV Charing Problem
Can we feed EVs?
Increase peak demand

EV-charging

EV Charging Problem
Can we feed EVs?
Increase peak demand

Solution
Smart Charging Schedule
Time-varying price

Thats it??

EV-charging

Active role of EV in Smart Grid


EV
Power stored in battery
Available (parked) 90% of time
Aggregated, highly reliable power resource

Use the stored power for Grid


help balance power production/consumption
Real-time regulation service
Make money
