Optimal Allocation of DSTATCOM for Power Loss Reduction and Voltage Profile Improvement in the presence of Photovoltaic Arrays in the Radial distribution NetworkSasan

Electric vehicles (EVs) are new and growing loads in distribution networks. Increasing number of electric vehicles in a distribution network causes increase of electricity energy demand. Therefore, in the absence of any energy consumption management, some distribution system operation constraints (e.g. bus voltage magnitude) may be violated. Power electronic devices used for charging and discharging the batteries, are usually called chargers. The charger could be unidirectional (transfer the energy from network to the battery) or bidirectional. Bidirectional chargers work in four areas of PQ power plane. In this paper, firstly, the active and reactive power management of smart distribution network using electric vehicles as non-linear problem is presented. Then, the problem is converted to mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem using specific linearization method and is solved by GAMS package. The proposed scheme has been tested on the 33-bus distribution network and its performance and capability have been evaluated by simulation results.
