Flexibility assessment of e-mobilty in multi-energy districts

The future energy districts are expected to have an increasing level of integration between different energy carriers. Different sectors such as power, heating and cooling as well as transport will be coupled through conversion and storage technologies. This work aims to assess the flexibility of e-mobility in a multi-energy district. An e-mobility module is developed and integrated into the Ehub optimization tool. The optimal operation of electric vehicles is a function of the overall multi-energy system boundary conditions given by the available supply and demand and the set objectives to minimize costs and CO2 emissions. Using a hypothetical case study this work demonstrates the effect of e-mobility on supply and demand-side flexibility in the multi-energy district.
