Role of Electric Vehicles Parking Lots and Storage Systems on the Penetration Rate of Distributed Generation and Network Reconfiguration

Introduction of new technologies such as energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and distributed generation improved the characteristics of networks. On other hand, using these components in distribution systems improves system performances such as power losses. One of effective methods for improving system characteristics is distribution network reconfiguration. In this study, in addition to these effects, the role of reconfiguration in improving system resilience is investigated. Accordingly, a comprehensive model for network reconfiguration in the precense of energy storage systems, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and photovoltaic generation is proposed. Regarding this, the optimal location and capacity for optimal operation of system is obtained for all mentioned components. The effectiveness of model is proved in four case studies, The results of the four modes are compared. The results show the effect of network reconfiguration and storage components on the outputs of the model. The model is implemented on the 33 IEEE network in the GAMS environment with Sbb solver.
