This paper presents a series of analyses whose goal is to understand the effectiveness with which time-of-use (TOU) rates can economically incent off-peak charging in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). The total cost of fueling PHEV under modeled and real-world TOU rates is compared to the total cost of fueling PHEV under constant rates. Time-resolved vehicle energy consumption and fueling cost...
Strong dependency on crude oil in most areas of modern transportation coupled with increased demand for electric power generation lead to a significant consumption of fossil fuel resources over many decades. Homes and cars represent the biggest personal impact on the increasing energy demand, global warming and air quality; furthermore, electric power utilities spend a tremendous amount of capacity...
High penetration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in the next 5-10 years is plausible due to the benefits for both environments and end users. With the assumption of a high PHEV penetration, national energy modeling system (NEMS) software package is exploited to predict the growths of power generation plants. As an adjustable knob for the deregulated electricity market, the charging strategy...
