Abstract
This study investigates the synergistic impact of electric vehicles and responsive loads in providing flexibility for self-healing support. Given the dynamic behavior of electric vehicles, network load is treated as a variable during the restoration process. The introduction of remotely controlled switches enables various restoration strategies. The study also considers the responses of electric vehicle parking lot aggregators and responsive loads to outage management signals. Utilizing the particle swarm optimization algorithm, we determine the optimal locations for electric vehicle parking lots and the scheduling of emergency demand response, using the Roy Billinton Test System 4 as a benchmark. The electric vehicle parking lots on non-faulted feeders may serve as backup flexibility resources, while those located on customers’ premises in faulted zones can act as storage units forming microgrid islands. Strategically placing parking lots and responsive loads downstream of the opened switch on a damaged feeder helps prevent congestion in the backup feeder. This research explores the synergistic effects and enhancements arising from the emergence of responsive loads and electric vehicle parking lots as integrated systems. Results demonstrate that their joint involvement in restoration strategies provides a more reliable and effective reinforcement of self-healing capabilities, surpassing the benefits of individual contributions.
期刊介绍:
Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview.
• Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation.
• Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design.
• Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems.
• Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids.
• The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques.
• Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
