Challenges and Opportunities with All-Sector Electrification
With the pressing needs for economy-wide decarbonization and the rapid deployment of renewable electricity, electrification has become an increasingly attractive choice for decarbonization across multiple sectors, including transportation, buildings and industry. However, massive electrification presents not only opportunities but also challenges to the infrastructure and operation of the power system and the sectors being electrified. This Special Topic aims to discuss the potential challenges and opportunities associated with electrification across different sectors. Topics include, but are not limited to, the adaptation of infrastructure, interactions among sectors, control and optimization, modeling and risk assessment, and application case studies.Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Infrastructure for transportation electrification
- Interactions between transportation electrification and power systems
- Advanced digital twin technology for transportation electrification
- Smart control for transportation electrification
- Advanced power system operation with electrified transportation
- Advanced power system risk assessment with electrified transportation
- Limiting factors in building electrification
- Impact of building electrification on power system infrastructure
- Interplay between electrification of buildings and transportation
- Control and optimization for building electrification
- Role of energy storage technologies
- Case studies of single- or cross-sector electrification
- User behavior of electrification (e.g. adoption of heat pump or electric vehicles)
- Supplier decision of electrification (e.g. power company’s response to vehicle-to-grid)
- Policies or market mechanisms needed or affecting sectoral electrification
- Other topics related to sectoral electrification
