A Distributed Dispatch Method for Power Distribution Networks Considering Large-scale Connected Electric Vehicles

Abstract

Abstract The connection of large-scale electric vehicles (EVs) to power distribution networks leads to challenges such as increased peak loads and communication difficulty. To address this challenge, in this paper, a distributed dispatch method is suggested for power distribution networks that take the connection of large-scale EVs into account. First, a distributed dispatch framework is developed for the power distribution network. Subsequently, resources such as EVs, distributed photovoltaics (PVs), and micro gas turbines (MGTs) are considered to construct an optimal dispatch model, and the alternating direction multipliers method (ADMM) is applied to achieve a distributed solution. Finally, the performance of the suggested approach is tested on a modified IEEE 33-bus model.
