Abstract(s)
Global electric vehicles sales increased about 10 times from 2011, reaching more than 1 million vehicles in roads by 2015. This number is very likely to increase at a steady pace as more models are made available and battery technology improves and costs decrease. It is recognized that the electric vehicles mass integration will imply more complexity to the operation and planning tasks of power systems, but also allow additional opportunities. Indeed, demand response can play a major role to integrate electric vehicles in the future smart grid. This paper discusses the current initiatives from the retailing business in Portugal, Spain and Germany to deal with electric vehicles integration and discusses some new demand response models shaped for the smart grid that can be the new business model of tomorrow energy providers. Currently, the electric vehicles demand response measures adopted by the industry are very limited, mostly offering time of use tariffs with a discount rate.
