Electric vehicles and energy storage - A case study on Ireland

  • University College Cork

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

Renewable energy is generally accepted as an important component of future electricity grids. In late 2008, the Government of the Republic of Ireland set a target of 10% of all vehicles in its transport fleet be powered by electricity by 2020. This paper examines the potential contributions Electric Vehicles (EVs) can make to facilitate increased electricity generation from variable renewable sources such as wind generation in the Republic of Ireland. It also presents an overview of the technical and economic issues associated with this target.
