• Abstract:
  The objective of this research project was to evaluate the impacts of electric vehicles (EVs) and ; renewable wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation on reducing petroleum imports ; and greenhouse gas emissions to Hawaii. In 2015, the state of Hawaii mandated fossil fuel ; electric power displacement by imposing Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) that will reach ; 100% renewable electricity generation by 2045. With small, remote and isolated island ; electricity grids, utilities in Hawaii face unprecedented technical and economic challenges to ; meet these goals with exceedingly high levels of intermittent wind and PV power generation. To ; meet these RPS goals, EVs become increasingly important in helping to balance intermittent ; power generation by providing a controllable load, and potentially an energy storage medium as ; well. In this work, high fidelity grid modeling and analysis of EV energy use and emissions was ; conducted for the Island of Oahu with the focus on the number of vehicles, charging strategies, ; and wind and PV penetration levels at present and in the future. Comparisons were made for ; different vehicle types and fuel mixes. Additionally, the state of EV integration into Hawaii’s ; electric power grid was assessed and reported, including current challenges.
