Presenting the policy drivers, benefits and challenges for grid
integration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the open electricity
market environment, this book provides a comprehensive overview of
existing electricity markets and demonstrates how EVs are
integrated into these different markets and power systems.
Unlike other texts, this book analyses EV integration in
parallel with electricity market design, showing the interaction
between EVs and differing electricity markets. Future regulating
power market and distribution system operator (DSO) market design
is covered, with up-to-date case studies and examples to help
readers carry out similar projects across the world.
With in-depth analysis, this book describes:
* the impact of EV charging and discharging on transmission and
distribution networks
* market-driven EV congestion management techniques, for example
the day-ahead tariff based congestion management scenario within
electric distribution networks
* optimal EV charging management with the fleet operator concept
and smart charging management
* EV battery technology, modelling and tests
* the use of EVs for balancing power fluctuations from renewable
energy sources, looking at power system operation support,
including frequency reserve, power regulation and voltage
support
An accessible technical book for power engineers and
grid/distributed systems operators, this also serves as a reference
text for researchers in the area of EVs and power systems. It
provides distribution companies with the knowledge they need when
facing the challenges introduced by large scale EV deployment, and
demonstrates how transmission system operators (TSOs) can develop
the existing system service market in order to fully utilize the
potential of EV flexibility. With thorough coverage of the
technologies for EV integration, this volume is informative for
research professors and graduate students in power systems; it will
also appeal to EV manufacturers, regulators, EV market
professionals, energy providers and traders, mobility providers, EV
charging station companies, and policy makers.

Department of Electrical Engineering, Technical University of
Denmark, Lyngby
Qiuwei Wu is an assistant professor with the Centre for Electric
Technology (CET), Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and is
currently involved in the research of integration of electric
vehicles (EVs), integration of wind power, market driven optimal
operation of distribution systems, and the congestion management of
distribution systems. He is co-work package leader of the first
large scale demonstration project related to EV integration into
power systems (WP2 of the EDISON project). Within this he is the
main contributor on tasks of EV system architecture design, the
potential of using EVs to provide ancillary services, and network
impact of EVs on distribution and transmission systems. He has also
worked on congestion management of distribution systems with large
scale EV integration. Professor Wu gave a tutorial on ‘smart
charging for electric vehicle(EV) fleet operators (FOs) and ICT
implementation using IEC 61850′ in the ISGT Europe 2011
conference. He contributed a chapter to the large edited book
Modeling and Control of Sustainable Power Systems: Towards Smarter
and Greener Electric Grids (Springer, 2011).
