EVs for frequency regulation: cost benefit analysis in a smart grid environment
Abstract
Vehicle‐to‐grid systems facilitate efficient and reliable integration of electric vehicle (EV) into the smart grid. This integration helps provide various services such as peak load levelling, frequency regulation (FR) and other ancillary services that provide notable benefits to utilities. In addition to the benefits to the utilities, EV owners may also benefit from providing these ancillary services to the grid. In this study, a comprehensive assessment of the economic benefits of using EVs to support FR service to the power grid is developed. The limitations for providing such services to the grid are evaluated. The number of the charge and discharge cycles of the EV battery is estimated based on a realistic semi‐logarithmic model. Finally, the estimates are used to calculate the battery degradation cost for providing FR and estimate the safe amount of power that EVs can supply with adequate consideration for daily driving requirements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
