Investigations on Coordinated Integration of Electric Vehicles with Renewables in the Distribution System

The presented work explores the incorporation of electric vehicles (EVs) and Renewable Energy Sources (RES) into the distribution system. Several benefits can be attained if renewables are adequately integrated into the distribution system, including improved voltage quality and reduced losses. The design of the home load takes into account the hourly charging needs. The Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff (REFIT) database allows for the estimation of the residential load of about 200 households at the Residential Charging Parking Station (RCPS). The modeling of the arrival of EVs at the parking lot is done with a truncated Gaussian distribution. Incorporating Battery Charging Characteristics approximates the instantaneous charging time of each Electric Vehicle. In addition, the rising charging demand for electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates using renewable energy sources to reduce the negative impacts on the distribution system. The designed methodology is evaluated using 33 bus distribution systems as case studies. The simulation findings demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating renewable energy resources (RES) into the distribution network.
