Many countries are enhancing the planning and interconnection process to accelerate the interconnection of solar, wind, and other technologies to the distribution grid. The electrification of transportation, however, is going to have a much larger impact on utility planning and operations, essentially transforming utilities into providers of foundational mobility-related services. The speed of electric vehicle (EV) adoption is increasing and is an order of magnitude faster than the pace at which utilities build new distribution and transmission infrastructure. EV adoption scenarios must be sufficiently accurate, granular, and specific to identify critical grid investment needs. Identifying probable EV adoption and usage patterns and then modeling their impacts on the power grid is a complex process that will be fundamental to decarbonizing the grid.

The rapidly evolving electricity system with increasing variable renewable energy (VRE) resources provides both opportunities and challenges for the power sector. With the significant ramps and intermittency associated with VRE resources, the requirements and need for additional flexible resources increase. Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) provides flexibility to the electricity grid to replace fossil fuel plants, which are responsible for 25% of U.S. emissions. PSH projects support various aspects of power system operations, including flexibility, ramping capability, energy, ancillary service, black start, and others. The significant potential of hydropower requires understanding the different value drivers to the electricity system specific to the location of a project and then optimizing the plant for the different system values. Thus, determining the value of PSH projects and their many services and contributions to the electricity system can be a challenge for potential developers, system owners, regulators, policy makers, and consultants.

The conditions for flipping the vehicle fleet to electricity are ripe in New Zealand: the electricity supply is largely renewable, policies incentivize the shift to electric vehicles (EVs), and customer interest in EVs is high. During this transformation, the home is expected to become the new fuel station. Integrating EV charging seamlessly into the electricity network is critical to guarantee that the vision of electric transport is delivered in a cost-efficient, equitable, and reliable supply. To understand customer behavior and network requirements for at-home charging, Vector, New Zealand’s largest electricity distribution company, has been carrying out an EV smart charging trial with 200 EV owners over the last three years. The trial established data-driven EV charging requirements that have been implemented into network planning processes. Furthermore, the trial demonstrates how smart charging can integrate EVs within existing network capacity while also delivering customer satisfaction. The trial provides a blueprint for how electricity networks can harness data, monitoring, and smart control to transition to the new energy future.

Governments across the world are exploring options to transition their population away from internal combustion vehicles toward alternative low- and zero-carbon technologies. For small “light-duty” personal and commercial vehicles, the transition toward battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) appears to be the candidate solution. In Scotland since 2013, more than £50 million (∼US$63 million) has been invested in a nationwide EV charging network consisting of more than 2,400 charging points. Statistics for the year 2022 indicate that more than 2 million vehicle charging sessions took place on the public charging network in Scotland (not including third-party operators nor private charging points) and delivered approximately 43 GWh of energy to vehicles. As of January 2023, there were 69 public charging points per 100,000 people with 17.3 public rapid charging points per 100,000 people. A rapid charger is a device capable of charging an EV at ≥ 25 kW. Generally, rapid charging points are rated at 50-kW dc and above. Increasingly, the classification “rapid” is being replaced by the term journey charging.

Norway is at the forefront of the transition from fossil fuels to an electrified transport sector. In the first half of 2022, more than four out of five new passenger cars sold were fully electric and the share of electric vehicles (EVs) in the total car fleet was almost one out of five. There are several reasons for this successful development. Norway’s electricity supply sector is almost entirely made up of renewable energy in the form of hydropower, with the recent addition of wind power. As a result, Norwegian politicians and regulators had to consider other sectors than electric power to reduce domestic carbon emissions. In the early stages, Norway introduced several measures to reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector, which contributed to about one-third of domestic carbon emissions. Incentives were introduced in the form of benefits, like free parking and ferry rides, access to prioritized bus and taxi lanes, and free public charging. However, the most important factor for the transition to EVs was the exceptionally high taxes for conventional cars fueled by gasoline or diesel, from which EVs are exempt. For many drivers in Norway, these taxes alone have made EVs more favorable than their fossil fuel counterparts.

GPSs are among the most widely available global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) in use today. This free technology provides high-accuracy positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services that enable many applications. Many critical infrastructure systems and assets depend on PNT services, which include electrical power grid, telecommunication infrastructure, financial, transportation, agriculture, and emergency response systems.
