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.
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.
