40 Feasibility Study for Electric Vehicle Utilization as Grid …

40.2 Objectives
This study aims to review the potential ancillary services of EVs to reduce the
peak load by fossil fuel power plant using a techno-economic analysis. The analysis
considers feed-in-tariffs optimization to improve the benefits from both sides (EV
owner and power supplier). The utilization of EVs in power grid management is
studied in this paper to attract the popularity of the V2G concept which is currently
popular studies in several European countries and US. Therefore, the implementation
of V2G in Indonesia as developing country is also predicted (Taljegard et al. 2019).
40.3 Materials and Methods
40.3.1 Methodology
In order to assess the suitable FITs, the techno-economic study has been conducted,
including peak shaving that shows the benefits of V2G from two perspectives:
EVs owner and power producer. Several assumptions are set due to limitation of
Indonesia’s policies regarding EVs and ancillary services in power system, electricity
market, and driving pattern of commuter behavior in Indonesia. The proposed method
for the techno-economic analysis conducted in this study is shown in Fig. 40.3. Basically, there are four stages in this methodology, including assumption of several
technical parameters and a driving pattern, load profile analysis, technical analysis
related to potential energy availability and peak load shaving, and economic analysis.
