Challenge and objective

  • In response to the increasing need for flexibility Nordic system operators has developed markets for ancillary services providing frequency control.
  • This work models and analyses how EVs with V2G capability can provide system services while accounting spot price variations and car owner’s needs.

Work performed

  • Developed an optimization model of the HEMS, to analyse the capability and profitability of EV multi-market purposes for home charging.
  • Markets considered are the day-ahead market and frequency containment reserve for normal operation (FCR-N).

Significant results

  • The results show that the modeled EV is able to meet the required FCR-N when activated in nearly every hours of activation.
  • The EVs state of charge is to a little extent effected by the activation, hence the usage of EV transportation is preserved.

Impact for distribution system innovation

  • The work gives clear indication that EV flexibility and V2G is useful for system services at TSO level.
  • The result underscores the usefulness of aggregated services to TSO.
