Abstract

The widespread utilization of electric vehicles has inspired the emerging trend of coupled transportation and distribution system, which entails the systematic methodologies to model the new planning problems. This paper proposes a scenario-based comprehensive expansion planning model for a coupled transportation and active distribution system. With the aim of minimizing the investment and operation costs, this model determines the best alternatives, locations and sizes for candidate assets, including traffic roads, distribution lines, distribution generators, capacitor banks, static var compensators, voltage regulators, energy storage systems and charging facilities, as well as their operation strategies. First, a generated scenario method is extended to incorporate the uncertainty of the traffic flow demand. Based on multiple scenarios, the steady-state distribution of traffic flow is characterized by the Wardrop user equilibrium principle, and the corresponding equivalent constraints are derived and incorporated into the model. For active distribution system, we formulate the operation constraints for related infrastructures. Considering the interdependency between the two systems, an expansion planning model is proposed, which simultaneously optimizes the investment and operation strategies. Due to the nonlinear nature of the model, we have developed a three-dimensional piecewise linear approximation and applied second order cone relaxation to reformulate the model as a mixed-integer second order conic program; thus, the global optimal solution can be found in a reasonable time frame. Results on a test system reveal that the variations of both systems have some influences on each other, indicating the significance of considering the interdependencies between transportation and active distribution system.
