Optimized planning of chargers for electric vehicles in distribution grids including PV self‐consumption and cooperative vehicle owners

This paper presents a mathematical model to site and size the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) in distribution grid minimize required capital investments maximize self-consumption of local PV generation jointly. The formulation accounts operational constraints (nodal voltages, line currents, transformers' ratings) recharging times EVs. It explicitly models EV owners' flexibility plugging unplugging their from charger enable optimal utilization improve (cooperative owners). problem is formulated as mixed-integer linear program (MILP), where nonlinear are approximated with linearized models.
