The performance of an urban electric utility distribution system was evaluated for the February 2001 Nisqually earthquake. The restoration rate of the lifeline following the event was determined; the distribution of outage durations was estimated; and correlations between lifeline damage and instrumental Modified Mercalli intensity, peak ground velocity, and peak ground acceleration values were ascertained using a GIS (geographical information systems) approach. Using a logit regression analysis, a fragility curve was developed for the lifeline in a manner similar to O'Rourke's formulation of water-line performance (O'Rourke et. al. 2000). Extrapolation of the model to the Seattle Fault earthquake scenario was made to demonstrate its feasibility for prediction.

With the development of electric vehicles technology, especially the development of battery technology and strongly supported by some developed countries in terms of policy, electric vehicle has undergone a rapid expansion in recent years. A lot of electric vehicles are popularized and applied, which will have an impact on power system especially the distribution system. Therefore it is necessary to study the demand characteristics of electric charging and the treatment method and model of access to the network. With this understanding, this article studies the power output model of electric vehicle and analyzes the impact to the distribution network load, the network loss and voltage with different electric vehicles capacity.

Several efforts need to be performed in transportation and energy production to mitigate the current environmental issues that are related to fossil fuel use. The implementation of DC microgrids and the use of electric vehicles seem to be an adequate solution. However, various technical challenges have to be addressed, like grid stability issues. Thus, this case report assesses the impact of an electric vehicle load in a DC microgrid, subject to nonlinear control theory. The EV battery pack is modeled and simulated. Subsequently, it is included as a load in an available model of nonlinear control of DC microgrids. The results demonstrate high stability with this new load and the feasibility of its implementation.

The usage of electric vehicle batteries to assist the main electric grid for the storage of energy provided by intermittent sources should become an essential tool to increase the penetration of green energies. However, this service induces additional usage on the cells and, therefore, could degrade them further. Since degradation is path-dependent, it is of paramount importance to test the impact of all the different grid applications on the batteries. In this work, we tested the additional usage induced by using electric vehicle batteries for frequency regulation at moderate rates during rest or charge and found no detrimental effect after around 2000 cycles on the cells.
