Writings
Talks
From Grid Needs to Vehicle Initiative: New Competitiveness for Automakers through Transport–Energy Integration
22nd China Automotive Industry Development (TEDA) International Forum, · Tianjin
Starting from the grid’s needs for renewable integration, fast regulation and reliability, the talk argues that automakers can turn charging optimization, battery storage, virtual grids and autonomous-driving energy hubs into capabilities they can operate.
Large-Scale Interaction of Electric Vehicles with New Power Systems: Exploration and Outlook
IEEE meeting, · Beijing
Reviews the 2018 bus-charging dispatch and the 2019 North China peak-regulation ancillary-service pilot, and discusses further integration of electric vehicles through energy, capacity, power and bidirectional interaction.
