2011-04 Impact of Large Scale Deployment of Electric Mobility in Power System Operation and Planning
October 3-4, 2011

Objectives

At the present time, the electrification of the transportation sector is assuming an increasing importance to contribute for the solution of several environmental problems, such as global warming and air pollution in highly populated areas. As the cost of renewable technologies is decreasing and their installed power rising, it is expected that electricity will get “cleaner” and cheaper, therefore making Electric Vehicle (EV) utilization more economically attractive.

Assuming a scenario where a high number of EV connect to the electric power system for charging purposes, it will be necessary to adapt the existing network management, control and communication mechanisms in order to efficiently accommodate this new kind of consumers in the power system. Also, other issues such as electricity markets functioning and regulatory aspects must also be addressed. All of these changes imply designing specific tools in order to support power system planning and operation, in a way that an increase in the integration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles can be made avoiding at the same time high investments in the reinforcement of new generation facilities and grid infrastructures.

In this context, this course will address the following topics:

 • Evaluation of the impact from the presence of EV in power grids;
 • Development of new strategies, concepts and methodologies for managing large amounts of EV;
 • Development of tools for evaluating the impact of large scale EV integration in power system operation and planning;
 • Development of advanced communication solutions for EV / power grid interface;
 • Development of regulatory solutions for allowing an effective integration of EV in power systems;
 • Presentation of on-going initiatives on electric mobility from the industry perspective and strategy for the future.

Coordinators

Prof. João Abel Peças Lopes (jplopes@inescporto.pt)

João Peças Lopes was born in Portugal. He obtained a degree in Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of Porto University (FEUP) in July 1981. From 1981 to 1982 he worked as Engineer in the department of studies of an electrical equipment manufacturer – EFACEC. In November 1981 he joined the staff of the Department of Electrical Engineering at FEUP as teaching and research assistant. In 1988 he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Porto, having reached the highest grade. In November 1996 he obtained his Aggregation degree also from FEUP.
He is presently Full Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of FEUP, being also Director of the Sustainable Energy Systems PhD program. Prof. Peças Lopes is presently Director of the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering of Porto (INESC Porto). He is also the convenor of the CIGRE WG C6.20 on electric mobility.

 

Prof. Rodrigo Garcia (rgv@lektro.dtu.dk)

Rodrigo Garcia was born in Mexico. He received the electrical engineering degree from the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico, in 2001, the M.Sc. degree from CINVESTAV, Mexico, in 2003 and obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2007from the University of Glasgow, UK. In 2008, he was granted with the Hans Christened Ørsted Award at the Centre for Electric Technology (CET) by the Technical University of Denmark to carry out postdoctoral research activities. Since 2009 he holds the position as Assistant Professor. His research interests are dynamics, stability and control of electric power systems; renewable energy integration; and modelling and simulation of FACTS and custom power controllers. He is an IEEE, IET and CIGRE member.
