Abstract

The recent trend in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) has increased the need for vehicle charging stations (VCS) in the distribution system. In this condition, the additional load in the system leads to an increase in power loss, reduction in voltage and reliability of the system. The drawbacks of introducing this additional load can be rectified by integrating distributed generation (DG) into the distribution system. In this paper, the ideal location for placing DG is identified through the voltage stability index. The power loss minimization objective function is formulated with all the required constraints to estimate the size of DG required for the distribution system. Moreover, loss of load probability is used as a reliability assessment technique, through which the system reliability is analyzed after assessing the impact of integrating VCS and DG. Simulations are carried out to compare the following cases: a system without VCS and DG, a system that has only VCS and a system that has both VCS and DG. The IEEE 12-bus and 33-bus test systems are considered. In the 12-bus system with both VCS and DG, the power loss is reduced by 56% when compared with the system with only VCS, while the net reliability is also improved. The reliability of the system is evaluated for a 24 h load variation. The proposed work provides an efficient tool to improve the reliability of the system with support from DG.
