Cover Story: The primary frequency regulation service has been demonstrated to be technically feasible and economically profitable in different studies. When providing this service, the electric vehicle battery can degrade faster than when just used for driving, representing an additional cost for the user. For this reason, service profitability is evaluated considering the cost of degradation from service provision, independently from driving. Degradation due to frequency regulation of a 40 kWh lithium-ion NMC battery pack over 5 years is an additional 1–2% to the 7–12% capacity reduction. The method is applied in case studies in Denmark and Japan by considering historical frequencies and the frequency regulation market price in Denmark. View this paper.
