| Abstract | The study aims on the impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on the power expansion planning in year 2011 to 2025 in the case of Thailand by developing mixed-integer linear programming models for the power generation expansion. The case which does not consider PHEV is used as a base line of the study. Other 16 cases consider the impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in 2 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle model, 4 penetration rates, and 2 charging profiles. The results of the study show that the penetration of PHEV leads to higher power generation and higher total cost of power generation. The case of 8 kWh capacity of battery, charging profile 2 and scenario 4 of PHEV penetration rate has 3,802,574.14 GWh of power generation and 93,117.66 million dollars of the total while abase line case has 3,558,185.49 GWh of power generation and 76,465.12 million dollars of the total cost of power generation. The results also show that implementing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to the power generation can reduce the total CO2 emission. The case that has the highest reduction in CO2 emission has the total CO2 emission 3.4 percent lower than abase line which has the total CO2 emission of 1,450,092,161.8tons of CO2. In addition, well managing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles peak demand powering and their charging demand can also increase the power system reliability with the considerable amount. |
