Abstract

The continually increasing fossil fuel prices, the dwindling of these fuels, and the bad environmental effects which mainly contribute to global warming phenomena are the main motives to replace conventional transportation means to electric. Charging electric vehicles (EVs) from renewable energy systems (RES) substantially avoids the side effects of using fossil fuels. The higher the increase in the number of EVs the greater the challenge to the reliability of the conventional power system. Increasing charging connections for EVs to the power system may cause serious problems to the power system, such as voltage fluctuations, contingencies in transmission lines, and loss increases. This paper introduces a novel strategy to not only replace the drawbacks of the EV charging stations on the power system’s stability and reliability, but also to enhance the power system’s performance. This improvement can be achieved using a smart demand side management (DSM) strategy and vehicle to grid (V2G) concepts. The use of DSM increases the correlation between the loads and the available generation from the RES. Besides this, the use of DSM, and the use of V2G concepts, also helps in adding a backup for the power system by consuming surplus power during the high generation period and supplying stored energy to the power system during shortage in generation. The IEEE 30 bus system was used as an example of an existing power system where each load busbar was connected to a smart EV charging station (SEVCS). The performance of the system with and without the novel DSM and V2G concepts was compared to validate the superiority of the concepts in improving the performance of the power system. The use of modified particle swarm optimization in optimal sizing and optimal load flow reduced the cost of energy and the losses of the power system. The use of the smart DSM and V2G concepts substantially improved the voltage profile, the transmission line losses, the fuel cost of conventional power systems, and the stability of the power system.
