“…Table 1 gives some of the typical technical characteristics of PHES plants and Table 2 shows several of the countries with the largest installed PHES capacities. At a country level Japan has the largest installed capacity of PHES at ~25GW [25], which represents over 8.5% of its installed electricity generating capacity. China has the second largest capacity of PHES followed by the USA, however PHES constitutes only 1.8% and 1.9%…”

“…That is the most appropriate way to optimally and desirably operate the available wind power capacity with high degree of penetration for small islands with low installed capacity is to use PHS units [62]. The PHS has been considered as a large storage system installed more than 95 GW all across the world, generally to promote the wind power integration to supply base load [83]. The need for exploiting PHS unit would be obvious through comparing the local networks demands to corresponding annual wind farm efficiency [81].…”

Nowadays, the world is encountering severe challenges in the energy generation sector. Environmental issues like climate change, global warming and Green House Gases (GHGs) and also social issues like dramatic increase in global population and increasing energy demand are the main causes of global concerns about energy resource management. In this regard, Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) are the suitable substitution to replace the conventional generating units that emit GHGs due to the use of fossil fuels. Among all RESs, wind energy seems to be promising for generating emission-free electrical energy. However, it is naturally unpredictable due to its intermittency which leads to s ome technical problems such as generation imbalance as well as optimal reserve allocation. This paper investigates the solutions to compensate wind intermittency through introducing various technolo gies such as Pumped-Hydro Storage (PH S) units, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), solar energy and other electric storages like batteries. Abstract-Nowadays, the world is encountering severe challenges in the energy generation sector. Environmental issues like climate change, global warming and Green House Gases

This paper has been prepared for the "final conference of the socio-economic research of the 'Model region Electric Mobility Bremen/Oldenburg'", 18 th and 19 th August 2011 at Jacobs University in Bremen. AbstractMain challenges within the energy system of tomorrow are more volatile, less controllable and at the same time more decentralized electricity generation. Furthermore, the increasing research and development activities on electric vehicles (EV) make a significant share of electric vehicles within the passenger car fleet in 2030 more and more likely. This will lead to a further increase of power demand during peak hours.Answers to these challenges are seen, besides measures on the electricity supply side (e. g. investing in more flexible power plants or storage plants), in (1) grid extensions, which are expensive and time consuming due to local acceptance, and in (2) influencing electricity demand by different demand side management (DSM) approaches. Automatic delayed charging of electric vehicles as one demand side management approach can help to avoid peaks in household load curves and, even more, increase the low electricity demand during the night. This facilitates integrating more volatile regenerative power sources, too.Bidirectional charging (V2G) and storing of electricity extends the possibilities to integrate electric vehicles into the grid. But, comparing electricity storage costs and availability of electric vehicles with costs and technical conditions of other technologies leads to the conclusion, that vehicle to grid (V2G) is currently not competitive -but might be competitive in the future, e. g. within the electricity reserve market.In summary, the paper gives an overview of the future electricity market with the focus on electric vehicles and argues for automatic delayed charging of electric vehicles due to economic and technical reasons.
