Резюме:The rapid development of electric transportation in the world is due to significant economic and ecological advantages. The Ukrainian government also is planning to develop a national strategy and plans for the implementation of electric transportation. But the additional load poses challenges for Ukraine’s Integrated Power System. The analysis of the influence of electric transportation introduction on Integrated Power System operation would facilitate its effective government implementation. The aim of this paper was to estimate the effect of implementation volumes of electric transportation on the Integrated Power System operation, fossil fuel consumption, greenhouse gases, and pollutant emissions. A set of calculations was carried out for electric transportation volumes from 30 to 420 thousand electric vehicles by step 30 thousand based on a program and information complex simulating the operation of Ukraine's Integrated Power System, which has been developed in the Institute of General Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for the past few years. The calculations show that the share of nuclear power plants in Ukraine’s Integrated Power System increases according to the growth of the electric vehicles fleet. Therefore, it is expected to decrease fuel consumption as well as greenhouse gases and pollutants emissions. Fuel intensity is reduced by approximately 5% for electric transportation volume of 150 thousand and approximately 8% for 300 thousand. Specific emissions decrease faster due to the ratio of coal and gas power plants. Fuel intensity considerably varies from 0.07 (Summer) to 0.15 (Winter) tce/kWh. In general, the additional load from the implementation of electric transportation positively affects the energy system of Ukraine, increasing the efficiency of its operation by reducing specific fuel consumption. It should be noted that such trends are observed exclusively for Ukraine due to the specific structure of Ukraine's Integrated Power System with the large share of nuclear energy.
