The variation of household attributes such as income, travel distance, age, household member, and education for different residential areas may generate different market penetration rates for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Residential areas with higher PHEV ownership could increase peak electric demand locally and require utilities to upgrade the electric distribution infrastructure ev...

In the coming years, we will witness a change in current car fleet sales, from traditional fuel engines towards electrical vehicles (EVs), particularly passenger light-duty vehicles. They plug into grid and store electricity rechargeable batteries; therefore, widespread adoption of EVs bring many challenges for distribution network. Forecasting impact on networks is difficult task given uncerta...

At present, the large-scale access to electric vehicles (EVs) is exerting considerable pressure on distribution network. Hence, it particularly important analyze capacity of network accommodate EVs. To this end, we propose a method for analyzing EV by considering composition conventional load. First, analysis and pretreatment methods architecture load are proposed. Second, charging behavior an ...

The optimal design of electric distribution networks has been usually carried out by the minimization of a single objective function representing the economic costs of the system planning, including the optimal size and/or location of the feeders and/or substations of the power system. Usually, such objective function is subject to a set of technical constraints (Kirchhoff ́s current law constra...
