电动汽车灵活性是近年来能源领域关注的热点之一。随着电动汽车数量的迅速增长，其充电负荷对电网运行造成了新的挑战，也提供了新的机遇。通过分时电价等经济激励手段，电动汽车的充电灵活性已经初步显现，尤其是在工商业用户侧，相关实践和试点项目取得了长足进展。然而，在居民侧，虽然电动汽车充电负荷规模庞大且潜力巨大，但其灵活性的挖掘和利用仍处于初级阶段，存在很大的提升空间。 … View Summary +
Denmark is a European frontrunner in heating decarbonisation. The country’s district heating systems serve the majority of buildings nationwide, especially in urban and suburban areas. District heating in Denmark increasingly relies on clean energy, benefits from efficiencies and economies of… View Summary +
Growing demand for electricity in buildings is creating new opportunities and challenges for electric and natural gas planning. Planning processes for the electric and gas systems are largely separate, and only a few jurisdictions have started to examine how they… View Summary +
Part of RAP and ICCT’s Benefits of EVs Through Smart Charging Global Project With economic forces and policy efforts encouraging transport electrification, it is critical that electric vehicle (EV) demand on the power grid be carefully integrated to avoid unnecessarily… View Summary +
The European Commission is currently developing an electrification strategy to deliver this vital tool for meeting EU climate targets. One aspect that has been historically overlooked is the contribution of energy efficiency policy in the electrification process. Up to now,… View Summary +
Heat pumps, a critical technology for clean energy systems, are becoming the most important technology for heating decarbonisation. Currently, the vast majority of heat is provided by fossil fuels. In order to promote and encourage heat pump installations across the… View Summary +
车网融合是应对电动汽车充电需求快速增长的关键策略。通过智能有序充电，电动汽车不仅可以减轻对电网的压力，还能成为重要的灵活性资源。实现这一目标的基础在于通过交通和电力部门的紧密合作达成的车网协同规划。为推进车网协同规划，我们建议在进行电力规划时应首先考虑经合理疏导后电动汽车充电行为的灵活性，并且根据电网需要，通过扎实、基于实证的分析来推算合理优化后的有序充电行为，将优化后的充电曲线叠加其他负荷来相应安排电力投资计划。协同规划大致可以分为三步：(1)… View Summary +
Equipment emissions standards are a critical policy option that states can use to improve air quality and achieve climate goals equitably and affordably. Emissions standards are feasible and effective ways to tackle a major source of building pollution at the time of… View Summary +
This paper considers ways in which utilities and regulators can encourage electric vehicle owners’ participation in utility-managed charging programs. Unmanaged EV charging creates the risk of squandering electric system capacity and, instead, increasing system costs, which are borne by all… View Summary +
