The uncoordinated integration of electric vehicles (EVs) severely deteriorates the operational performance of a distribution network. To optimize distribution network performance in an EV charging environment, this paper presents a two-stage optimization approach, which integrates coordinated EV charging with network reconfiguration. A formulation to minimize system power loss is presented, and an optimal solution is obtained using a binary particle swarm optimization algorithm. The proposed approach is tested on a modified IEEE 33-bus medium-voltage node test system, coupled with a low voltage distribution network. Results of the coordinated and uncoordinated EV charging are compared with those of the developed integrated approach, and the operational performance of the system is studied. The results show that the integration of network reconfiguration with coordinated EV charging significantly decreases network power losses and fairly improves voltage profile. Thus, the proposed strategy can lead to improved operational performance of the system while dealing with the growing penetration of EVs in the network.

Electric vehicles (EV) replacing the internal combustion engine vehicle may be the solution for the particulate matter (PM) 2.5 pollution issue. However, the uncontrolled charging of EVs would challenge the power system operation. Therefore, it is necessary to implement some level of control over the EV charging procedure, especially in the residential network. In this paper, an optimization of EVs charging scheduling considering energy arbitrage and the distribution network cost of an urban village environment is presented. The optimized strategy focuses on decreasing the loss of EV owners’ energy arbitrage benefit, introduced as the penalty cost. Also, peak demand, power loss, and transformer aging are included in the estimation of the cost function for the distribution network. The optimization problem is solved using the genetic algorithm. As a case study, data from the urban village in Udon Thani, Thailand, are utilized to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. Simulation results show a reduction in the loss of energy arbitrage benefit, transformer peak load, power loss and the transformer loss of life. Therefore, the application of the optimized EV charging can prolong transformer lifetime benefiting both the EV owner and the distribution system operator.
