Abstract

Electric Vehicles are particularly adapted for frequency regulation service regarding their batteries features and their availability when not used for mobility. Many parameters have an important impact on the revenue and the cost of the service. On the one hand, the Electric Vehicle or Fleet owner behavior with the plugin hours, the driving patterns and the investments on the Vehicle to Grid technology may highly affect the service availability and cost. On the other hand, the service remuneration based on capacity remuneration and energy payment is highly dependent on the grid location, renewables penetration and Electric Vehicles presence. The aim of this study is to highlight various parameters variation depending on the context as well as their effect on the profitability of the service. The proposed tool allows apprehending the profitability for various markets situations from the contract level to the decision for the service delivery depending on the profit.

The present work was done and funded in the scope of the following project: EUREKA - ITEA2 Project SEAS with project number 12004.
