| Abstract | ||||
| The increasing penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) will greatly affect the operation of distribution networks. On one hand, the EVs can benefit the electric distribution systems. On the other hand, the connection of EVs to the distribution networks poses a series of new challenges for electric utility operators. This paper proposes an algorithm for optimal location of a combined EV-PV charging station in a distribution network for minimizing the system losses. The proposed method depends on PSO for solving the optimization problem. The method is performed in Matlab/Simulink and is applied to a 33-bus radial distribution test system with and without integrating the PV system and the results are analyzed and compared. The obtained results show that the EV-PV charging station is a suitable solution for reducing the feeder losses rather than the charging stations without PV. | ||||
