Smart Innovation Norway researchers Dr Iliana Ilieva and Prof Bernt A. Bremdal, together with co-authors Kristoffer Tangrand and Shayan Dadman from the Arctic University of Troms\u00f8<\/strong>, got their scientific article E-Mobility and Batteries\u2014A Business Case for Flexibility in the Arctic Region <\/em>published in World Electric Vehicle Journal (WEVJ) in February 2023.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The article is a result of ongoing work within the CINELDI project<\/a>, an eight-year Research Centre under the FME scheme (Centre for Environment-Friendly Energy Research).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The E-Mobility and Batteries\u2014A Business Case for Flexibility in the Arctic Region <\/em>paper presents a method for determining the economic incentives and limitations for a battery used for peak clipping (also with reference to mobile batteries). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ratio called the R-factor has been introduced, which helps determine the energy demand to curb the peak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper\u2019s results embrace different investment scenarios showing what battery capacity can be expected, dependent on interest rates, payback time and potential savings in power tariffs due to curtailment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the paper introduces the \u201cwrench and cut\u201d concept, which can help improve the investment case for batteries by combining battery operations with standard demand response operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, the effect of using a limited form of demand response-based load deactivation together with a battery has been analyzed. Data from the Interreg North-funded project Smart Charge (2019-2021) has been utilized in the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Our findings are highly relevant for vehicle-to-grid\/vehicle-to-building developments where a vehicle is considered a mobile battery. The results we provide in our paper open avenues for enhanced utilization of mobile or stationary batteries, something that will have a particularly positive effect on regions such as the Arctic, where coal is still a major energy source, says Dr Ilieva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
