This paper presents a simulator for electric vehicles in the context of smart grids and distribution networks. It aims to support network operators’ planning and operations but can be used by other entities for related studies. The paper describes the parameters supported by the current version of the Electric Vehicle Scenario Simulator (EVeSSi) tool and its current algorithm. EVeSSi enables th...

With the growing penetration of the electric vehicles to our daily life owing to their economic and environmental benefits, there will be both opportunities and challenges to the utilities when adopting plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) to the distribution network. In this paper, a thorough analysis based on real-world project is conducted to evaluate the impacts of electric vehicles infrastructu...

BACKGROUND It has been reported that measurements of eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) may be useful for identifying eosinophil activities in allergic diseases including atopic dermatitis. METHODS EDN concentrations in the urine were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the number of eosinophils in the peripheral blood was counted in 30 patients with atopic dermatitis. The sev...

With respect to the planning problems of electric vehicle charging stations in the urban area, the paper presents a planning model which considers the road network structure, vehicle flow information, distribution system structure and capacity constraints, etc. Under the relative constraints of distribution network, the model selects the station sites and plug-in locations with the objective of...

The sizable electrical load of plug-in electric vehicles may cause a severe low-voltage problem in a distribution network. The voltage drop in a distribution network can be mitigated by limiting the power consumption of a charging station. Then, the charging station operator needs a method for appropriately distributing the restricted power to all plug-in electric vehicles. The existing approac...

In today’s world, the demand for the electric power is growing rapidly; to overcome this, many power generation resources are constructing in all over the globe. But the problem arises when the new generation is integrated with the power network and distribution, as the existed power network was not designed by keeping in mind the new integration of generation in the future. The objective of th...

Worldwide the introduction of dispersed generators (DG) in the distribution network is assuming a significant importance. There is an increasing relevance of the energy process efficiency improvement; as for electric power systems, the most interesting perspective concerns the capability of the system to increase the exploitation of the renewable resources. The integration of DGs in the electri...
