Reliable Frequency Regulation through Vehicle-to-Grid: Encoding Legislation with Robust Constraints

Daniel Kuhn, François Richard Vuille, Dirk Lauinger

Problem definition: Vehicle-to-grid increases the low utilization rate of privately owned electric vehicles by making their batteries available to electricity grids. We formulate a robust optimization problem that maximizes a vehicle owner’s expected profi ...

Frequency Regulation with Storage: On Losses and Profits

Daniel Kuhn, François Richard Vuille, Dirk Lauinger

Low-carbon societies will need to store vast amounts of electricity to balance intermittent generation from wind and solar energy, for example, through frequency regulation. Here, we derive an analytical solution to the decision-making problem of storage o ...

Future Urban Charging Solutions for Electric Vehicles

Vincent Kaufmann, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Vincent Moreau, François Richard Vuille, Dominic Villeneuve

The numbers of electric vehicles (EV) will increase as many countries perceive EVs as a solution to reduce the emissions of transportation and therefore incentivize their adoption. However, the deployment of public charging infrastructure is lagging behind ...

Hire fast, fire slow: the employment benefits of energy transitions

Marc Vielle, Vincent Moreau, François Richard Vuille, Yann Füllemann

The transition towards decarbonized and efficient energy systems has broad socio-economic implications. We estimate the potential impacts on employment from efforts in energy efficiency in industry, transport and buildings as well as substituting local ren ...

Enough Metals? Resource Constraints to Supply a Fully Renewable Energy System

Vincent Moreau, François Richard Vuille, Piero Carlo Dos Reis

The transition from a fossil fuel base to a renewable energy system relies on materials and, in particular, metals to manufacture and maintain energy conversion technologies. Supply constraints shift from fossil fuels to mineral resources. We assess the av ...

On the Assessment of the CO2 Mitigation Potential of Woody Biomass

François Maréchal, François Richard Vuille, Emanuela Peduzzi, Victor Codina Gironès

Woody biomass, a renewable energy resource, accumulates solar energy in form of carbon hydrates produced from atmospheric CO2 and H2O. It is, therefore, a means of CO2 mitigation for society as long as the biogenic carbon released to the atmosphere when de ...
