State of the art analysis on the introduction of electric vehicles: first results from the Belgian Trans2House project
Boekbijdrage - Boekhoofdstuk Conferentiebijdrage
The Trans2House project has as main objective the investigation how to develop driving forces and to shift the social, cultural, technological, economic and political barriers to household energy consumption reduction. The focus is on personal transport, as a part of the household.
This study aims also to assess the transition towards EV and PHEV for Belgium and its regions, while having a critical eye on their impact on the sustainability goals as defined in the EU 20-20-20 objective. It considers also the budgetary impact on households, the impact on employment and related economic issues like the competitiveness of Belgium.
The project is split into three subsequent analysis stages, each divided into specific research topics.
In the first phase of the project a state of the art analysis will be performed. The second phase is the core of the project and consists out of the assessment of the different impacts that the roll-out of EVs and PHEVs will have. This part has a horizontal as well as a vertical fragmentation. The impacts on the electricity grid and on households will be examined from a technological, environmental, economic and social viewpoint.
At the conference the results from the first analysis stage will be presented. This stage is carried out from May to September 2010.
The state of the art analysis will include all existing studies of interest and will give a clear overview of the available studies on this topic, it will identify possible pitfalls at an early stage. It will also give a starting point for the collection of data, necessary in the subsequent phases.
A summary of the subjects that will be included in the state of the art analysis:
-An overview on the electricity network in Belgium with special focus on the currently installed central electricity production mix (coal, gas, nuclear,...) and decentrally installed renewable energy sources (Photovoltaic (PV), wind, micro Combined Heat and Power (micro CHP), ...);
-An overview on experiences of deployment projects with (PH)EVs in the past (lessons learned) with focus on the infrastructure part;
-An overview of the technological development of electric and hybrid vehicles and their relevant components, the overview will include battery requirements, driving distance and rate of hybridization;
-The current status of research projects concerning energy use and sustainability indicators of (PH)EVs (plug-in electric vehicle), including topics as oil dependency, renewable energy, greenhouse gases and environmental impact of conventional, electric and hybrid vehicles.
