Beginning in the 1980s, governments around the world introduced market reforms to their electricity supply industries in order to create competition in the production and supply of electricity. A standard textbook approach relied on empowering an independent electricity regulator while… 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) 多方利益相关者参与、（2）电动汽车灵活充电能力测算、以及（3）将电动汽车灵活性纳入电网规划。这种规划方式可以减少传统调峰资源投资、配合可再生能源发电、减少配电侧非必要投资，从而降低系统总成本。 本文首刊于《南方能源观察》，2024年11月4日… View Summary +
