Technical dissemination seminar electrification of mobility electrical network
February 8, 2013
The Seminar gathered recognized National and European experts like Jukka Lassila – Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland; Ludwig Jörissen -ZSW, Germany-; Jesús Palma – Fundación IMDEA Energía-, Eduardo Zabala – Labein-Tecnalia- and Rafael Sánchez Durán -ENDESA, Spain, that have addressed in their presentations and the roundtable, the problematic associated to the expected penetration of electric vehicles on the management and design of the electrical network, as well as on the development of advanced systems for electrochemical storage of energy.
An introductory vision of the multiple benefits stemming from the large-scale penetration of electric vehicles like the reduction of CO2 emissions, the abatement of air pollution at urban environments and the increment of renewable electricity consumption was presented.
At the first session, dedicated to analyze the impact of mobility electrification on the grid, different scenarios were described, as suggested at recent studies of the European Association ENDESA. Those scenarios fix an objective of 10% plug-in vehicles by 2020. Likewise the study reveals that the complete replacement of the 27 million vehicles existing in Spain by electric vehicles would be possible to feed with only an increment of 18% of the electricity generation. In addition, a feasibility study for a specific regional community in Finland was presented, as an example of the need to optimize the strategy of capacity installation and power generation.
The second session focused onto the current status of technology development and more promising lines of research within the field of batteries and other electrochemical storage systems like supercapacitors. The latest commercial products like ion-Li batteries and new concepts with high potential of application like metal-air batteries were presented. Likewise, the different strategies for a smart storage management of Grid Connected Electric Vehicles were analyzed. It was evidenced the important contribution of smart storage management on the optimization since inefficiencies caused by peaks and low-consumption periods are minimized.
The seminar was actively followed by about one hundred attendees related to the energy and transportation sectors, both from academy and industries like Saft,Gamesa, Repsol, Cepsa, Aena or Saft.
