Summary:
Combining large penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) generation with Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) seems a promising solution for energy cost saving and emissions reduction. While PEVs can shift emissions from the urban centers to the generation plants, with important benefits on citizens’ health, its contribution to load smoothing can contribute to integrate non-dispatchable renewable generation. This paper performs a simplified cost benefit analysis of wind generation and PEV penetration, accounting for investments costs and most relevant externalities. The main conclusion of the case studies confirms that PEV and wind integration are able to decrease energy costs and CO2 emissions.

Keywords: Electric vehicle, wind power integration, emissions reduction, unit commitment, cost benefit analysis.
