At present, the large-scale access to electric vehicles (EVs) is exerting considerable pressure on distribution network. Hence, it particularly important analyze capacity of network accommodate EVs. To this end, we propose a method for analyzing EV by considering composition conventional load. First, analysis and pretreatment methods architecture load are proposed. Second, charging behavior an ...

The optimal design of electric distribution networks has been usually carried out by the minimization of a single objective function representing the economic costs of the system planning, including the optimal size and/or location of the feeders and/or substations of the power system. Usually, such objective function is subject to a set of technical constraints (Kirchhoff ́s current law constra...

The method proposed by the author is intended for assistance in decision-making (concerning changes of connections) by operators of complex distribution systems during states of malfunction (particularly in the events of malfunctions, for which the consequences encompass extended parts of the network), through designation of connection action scenarios (creating substitute configurations). It i...

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is an important component of power system planning. Itdetermines the characteristics and performance of the future electric power network and influences the powersystem operation directly. Different methods have been proposed for the solution of the static transmissionnetwork expansion planning (STNEP) problem till now. But in all of them, STNEP pr...

This paper proposes a methodology for practical siting and sizing of Hybrid energy systems (HESs) consist of: wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV) and combined heat and power (CHP) units. In this method, the interaction of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PIEVs) in the electric distribution system is considered. Electric Vehicle are seen to have some negative impacts on electric distribution system p...

This paper presents a simulator for electric vehicles in the context of smart grids and distribution networks. It aims to support network operators’ planning and operations but can be used by other entities for related studies. The paper describes the parameters supported by the current version of the Electric Vehicle Scenario Simulator (EVeSSi) tool and its current algorithm. EVeSSi enables th...
