Table 22 Investigation results of the potential future ecosystem conditions

From: Ecosystem-driven business opportunity identification method and web-based tool with a case study of the electric vehicle home charging energy ecosystem in Denmark

Current ecosystem condition

Related policies and targeted trends

Future ecosystem condition

C

The Danish weather (not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter) is suitable for EVs

Danish climate goals; Governmental agreement of tax relief on green vehicles for securing 775,000 green vehicles by 2030; The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy

Increase in the number of EVs

S

Currently, EVs represent 2.4% of the Danish car population

Danish climate goals; Governmental agreement of tax relief on green vehicles for securing 775,000 green vehicles by 2030; The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy

Increase in the number of EVs

People may believe in EVs as a good investment or a green solution. EVs may, in many circumstances, be a good investment (compared to conventional) due to the current and future regulations

Governmental agreement of tax relief on green vehicles for securing 775,000 green vehicles by 2030; 3. Sector roadmap for the energy- and supply sector’s contribution to the 70% goal

Intelligent EV charging strategies that can optimize EV users' bill and reduce CO2 reduction

T

Use Advanced Metering Infrastructure in EV charging boxes to collect consumer data (such as charging rate and battery capacity)

Sector roadmap for the energy- and supply sector’s contribution to the 70% goal; The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy; European Green Digital Coalition

Independent aggregators are allowed to aggregate EVs for participation in the ancillary service market or Vehicle-to-Grid services

A limited number of implemented EV charging algorithms

The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and European Green Digital Coalition

More EV charging algorithms and strategies will be allowed with high intelligence and automation level

EV users manually decide the time for charging

The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and European Green Digital Coalition

The automation and intelligent levels of EV charging algorithms will be increased

Distribution grids are not dimensioned to the increasing electrification that introduces new Distributed Energy Resources, such as EVs

Sector roadmap for the energy- and supply sector’s contribution to the 70% goal; The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy; European Green Digital Coalition

DSOs will adopt Intelligent algorithms to enable energy flexibility strategy for sector coupling between EVs and the distribution grid

E

Distribution tariffs are close to being simple flat rate (one peak period price change during winter)

Regulations for the design of distribution tariffs, such as no price discrimination

Dynamic distribution tariffs that comply with regulations will be designed and implemented

P

Today all Danish electricity consumers should, by law, be able to pay by hourly electricity prices

From 2020, all small electricity consumers are eligible to have hourly electricity prices

All EV users will adopt an hourly electricity price scheme
