    A Robust Optimization Approach for Planning the Transition to Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-02-28) Hajimiragha, Amir H.; Canizares, Claudio A.; Fowler, Michael W.; Moazeni, Somayeh; Elkamel, Ali
    This paper proposes a new technique to analyze the electricity and transport sectors within a single integrated framework to realize an environmentally and economically sustainable integration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) into the electric grid, considering the most relevant planning uncertainties. The method is based on a comprehensive robust optimization planning that considers the constraints of both the electricity grid and the transport sector. The proposed model is justified and described in some detail, applying it to the real case of Ontario, Canada, to determine Ontario's grid potential to support PHEVs for the planning horizon 2008-2025.

    Sustainable convergence of electricity and transport sectors in the context of a hydrogen economy
    (Elsevier, 2011-04-03) Hajimiragha, Amir H.; Cañizares, Claudio A.; Fowler, Michael W.; Moazeni, Somayeh; Elkamel, Ali; Wong, Steven
    This paper analyzes the electricity and transport sectors within a single integrated framework and presents the capabilities of this integrated approach to realize an environmentally and economically sustainable transport sector based on fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). A comprehensive robust optimization planning model for the transition to FCVs is developed, considering the constraints of both electricity and transport sectors. This model is finally applied to the real case of Ontario, Canada to determine the Ontario’s grid potential to support these vehicles in the transport sector for a planning horizon ending in 2025. With a reasonable trade-off between optimality and conservatism, it is found that more than 170,000 FCVs can be introduced into Ontario’s transport sector by 2025 without jeopardizing the reliability of the system or any additional grid investments such as new power generation and transmission installations.
