Climate change and global resource shortages have led to rethinking traditional individual mobility services based on combustion engines. As the consequence of technological improvements, the first electric vehicles are now being introduced and greater market penetration can be expected. But any...

This paper examines how plug-in electric vehicles can be managed to balance the fluctuation of renewable electricity sources. In this context, different control strategies are introduced. To investigate indirect control via electricity tariffs, an electricity market analysis is conducted of a...

This study describes a method for programming a plug-in electric vehicle agent that can be used in power system models and in embedded systems implemented in real plug-in electric vehicles. Implementing the software in real-life applications and in simulation tools enables research with a high...

This paper analyzes how energy throughput and depth of discharge-based battery ageing affects vehicle-to-grid operation of plug-in electric vehicles. Plug-in electric vehicles are discussed as a grid resource to balance the fluctuating electricity generation of renewable energy sources, but...

This paper describes a method to characterize the fluctuating electricity generation of renewable energy sources (RES) in a power system and compares the different parameters for California and Germany. Based on this method describing the fluctuation and residual load, the potential contribution...

Dienstleistungen haben in der Industrie weite Verbreitung gefunden. Während einige Industriebetriebe beachtliche Umsatzanteile mit produktbegleitenden Dienstleistungen erzielen, existiert ebenfalls ein relevanter Anteil an Unternehmen, deren Dienstleistungsangebote keine oder nur geringe...

Materialeffizienz entwickelt sich immer mehr zu einem wichtigen Thema in Wirtschaft und Politik. Real existierende und vermutete Knappheiten bestimmter Rohstoffe, steigende Materialkosten und die Abhängigkeiten Deutschlands als rohstoffarmes Land von Importen vieler Materialien sind nur einige...

Commercial passenger cars are often discussed as an early market segment for plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). Compared to private vehicles, the commercial vehicle segment is characterized by higher vehicle kilometers travelled and a higher share of vehicle sales in Germany. Studies which...
