| description | Electromobility is generally seen as an efficient means of decarbonizing the transport sector. Ensuring both a broad propagation of electric vehicles and a stable energy system requires intelligent charging strategies in the form of use cases. Most use cases do not combine both the prospect of profit and systemic advantages. This paper analyzes combinations of use cases that merge different use cases to combine profitability and systemic benefits. We present a novel methodological approach for analyzing and comparing the synergies of different use case combinations. The focus is on evaluating the potential for reducing the technical implementation effort resulting from the simultaneous implementation of two to three different use cases. Our findings show that the simultaneous implementation of complex use cases, often involving in-front-of-meter pooling of vehicles, produces the greatest synergies. Combinations that include ancillary services and spot market trading lead to considerable reductions in the implementation effort. Balancing profitability and systemic benefits with little absolute effort requires combinations that include use cases implemented behind-the-meter, for example, optimization of self-consumption. Challenges in the implementation of the combinations investigated arise primarily from technical hurdles and the fact that some use cases have not yet been fully defined in regulatory terms. |
