Conference on the impact of electric vehicles on the electricity system
Date
17 octobre 2016Lieu
Salle Raymond Aron - Université Paris Dauphine-PSLDescription
SUMMARY:
The accelerating arrival of electric vehicles will not only impact the way we drive but will also have a profound impact on the size, layout, performance and cost of the electricity system. This transformation will touch upon all segments of the value chain from generation over transport and distribution to consumption. It will accelerate the active participation of final consumers, while posing important new challenges to producers of dispatchable power and system operators.
This seminar of the Chaire European Electricity Markets (CEEM) at the Université Paris-Dauphine co-organised with the Chaire Armand Peugeot (CAP) at CentraleSupélec will bring together leading experts from industry and academe in order to answer four interrelated questions:
1. What is the likely speed and trajectory of electric vehicle adoption in Europe over the medium term?
2. What are the different options for charging infrastructure, whose layout and technical specifications will be crucial for both the acceptability of electric vehicles as well as their cumulative impact on the electricity system?
3. What are the likely impacts on the requirements for the generation, transport and distribution system?
4. How can the contribution of electric vehicles to the electricity system be optimised by appropriate regulation and incentives for final consumers?
Clearly, the arrival of electric vehicles will pose questions for policymakers and experts in multiple dimensions, reaching from the technical over the economic to the geopolitical, for decades to come. However, it is crucial that even at this comparatively early state, it is fully understood that electric vehicles imply that private road transport will henceforth be operating as part of a network. The earlier the needs, opportunities and challenges of the electricity system are approached in a fully integrated fashion, the more likely the deployment of electric vehicles will indeed be able to make the major contribution to the low carbon energy transition that policymakers, consumers and experts so ardently desire.
