Comprehensive Energy Analysis of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Integration with the Power Grid: A Systemic Approach Incorporating Integrated Resource Planning Methodology
Source abstract
Abstract
This work aims at a comprehensive assessment of the impact of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology on both demand and supply sides, considering integrated resource planning for sustainable energy. By using a computational tool and evaluating the complete potentials, we divide the analysis into four dimensions: environmental, social, technical, economic, and political. Each dimension is further subdivided, allowing for a detailed characterization of the impacts across these various aspects. Our approach employs a simple yet effective algebraic method using matrices to evaluate all the elements involved in the V2G system. This case study focuses on the environmental and technical–economic aspects of integrating V2G technology into a city with industrial parameters. Our findings reveal improvements and future challenges to all four dimensions, including direct and indirect reductions in CO2 emissions. However, the limited availability of specific data in the social and political scopes highlight the need for further research in these areas. This study lays the groundwork for future investigations to explore the social and political implications of V2G technology, offering significant potential for future studies.
