Summary:

Electrical energy production and transportation combined accounted for 68%, or 2,534 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the US in 2019. Utilizing EVs for transportation as well as grid support will decrease this figure in each sector. This work illustrates the potential of Electric Vehicles (EVs) as a grid support tool to minimize emissions generated by power systems. EVs can provide peak shaving power to the grid while discharging and valley filling power while charging to flatten the total load curve of the system. Flattening the load curve will allow utility providers to use power generation from EVs instead of polluting power generation stations. It would also well utilize renewable energy resources that are uncontrollable in nature specially wind power during night or valley hours. This research will investigate how the EV technology may pave the way to cleaner, more reliable, cost effective energy systems. To achieve the goal of illustrating the potential of EVs benefits to minimize power system emissions, a model will be created using MATLAB and several case studies will be presented. A well known power distribution system model will be utilized and several of the most popular EVs parameters will be chosen for testing. Because of the stochastic nature of EVs, a probabilistic approach will be applied to multiple simulation parameters to ensure the most realistic results are found
