Complying with the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate protection will require a substantial decarbonization of the global energy system by the second half of the century. Developing countries and emerging economies already account for more than half of global energy related emissions....

Auf der Basis einer Umfrage wird analysiert, wie hoch der Anteil von Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV)-Nutzenden in Deutschland ist, der erneuerbaren Strom zum Laden über entsprechende Lieferverträge bezieht und wie dies zu bewerten ist. Die Auswertung hat ergeben, dass für alle Ladeorte - zu...

Electric vehicles can reduce carbon dioxide emissions, increase energy efficiency, and help to reduce the dependency on oil imports. However, today's technical and economic challenges are preventing mass-market adoption. In order to create an early market and support economies of scale in...

PHEVs are discussed controversially. On the one hand, the evolutionary approach of a hybrid vehicle helps the consumer to adopt to electric driving, using the range extender when driving longer distances. On the other hand, PHEVs have a more complex propulsion system and a potentially low...

This paper considers the integration of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in micro-grids. Extending a theoretical framework for mobile storage connection, the economic analysis here turns to the interactions of commuters and their driving behavior with office buildings. An illustrative example...

Das Energiewirtschaftsgesetz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland schreibt Ener-gieversorgern vor, bis Ende 2010 lastabhängige und/oder zeitvariable Stromta-rife anzubieten. Bisher ist jedoch noch wenig über die Einschätzung dieser Ta-rifmodelle durch die Konsumenten bekannt. Jedoch nur wenn solche...
