Reducing the Loading of Lines in Distribution Power system by Optimizing the Location of Electric vehicle Parking and Distributed Generation Sources

Abstract

The use of distributed generation resources and plug in electric vehicles parking lot is one of the strategies examined in distribution networks to reduce power losses and improve voltage profiles. The capacity and location of DGs in the distribution network are critical to achieving these objectives. The data envelopment analysis method is used in this study to locate and calculate the optimal capacity of distributed generation sources and PREV parking lots in order to reduce power losses and decrease the loading of tie-lines and improve voltage profiles. On standard IEEE 69 bus distribution systems, the proposed technique is implemented. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in locating and estimating the best capacity of distributed generation sources and PREYs parking by considering some power quality parameters such as voltage limit and network feeder capacity.
