Abstract

This paper presents a short-term power system operation model where the electric vehicle management is being considered. Electric vehicles are considered as loads depending on the usage pattern. The operation model resorts to a mixed integer programming problem to determine the optimal system operation. We also evaluate vehicle to grid generation and power reserve service provision. Different EV share scenarios and V2G capabilities are evaluated for the mainland Spanish electric system. The contribution of electric vehicles on the integration of renewable sources is also determined.
