插电式混合动力电动汽车（PHEV）正在成为现有交通系统的一种有前途的替代方案。这项技术的设想是从电网运行的电力，存储在高容量电池，短途旅行和切换到传统的燃料长途旅行。因此，如果广泛采用这项技术，电力需求将大幅增长。尽管PHEV技术通常被认为比传统的运输系统更环保，特别是在具有多样化发电车队的地区，但是需要在热主导的系统（例如阿尔伯塔的系统）中调查PHEV的这种广泛集成的环境影响。本文研究了阿尔伯塔省广泛采用PHEV的潜在环境影响，考虑到该省90%的火电机组份额和对风力发电发展的兴趣日益增长。考虑了各种方案，为插电式混合动力汽车提供所需的能量，并估计了由此产生的气体消耗和减排量。
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) are emerging as a promising alternative for the existing transportation system. This technology is envisioned to run on electricity from the grid, stored in high capacity batteries, for short trips and switch to a conventional fuels for long trips. Thus, the demand for electricity will significantly grow if this technology is adopted widely. Although, PHEV technology is generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than conventional transportation systems, especially in regions with a diverse electric power generation fleet, the environmental impacts of such wide integration of PHEVs need to be investigated in thermal-dominated systems, such as Alberta's. This paper studies the potential environmental impacts of the wide adoption of PHEVs in the context of Alberta, given the 90% share of thermal units and the growing interstes in wind power developments in the province. Various scenarios are considered for supplying the required energy for PHEVs and the resulting gas consumption and emission reductions are estimated.
