A Study on the Power Line Operation Strategy by the Energy Storage System to Ensure Hosting Capacity of Distribution Feeder with Electrical Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Byungki Kim et al.

Summary: The introduction of a complex electrical vehicle charging infrastructure, including EV chargers and renewable energy sources, is essential for addressing global environmental issues. However, challenges such as hosting capacity and power stability of the distribution feeder may arise with larger scaled renewable energy sources and EVC infrastructure. To address these issues, a technology is needed to stably introduce EVC infrastructure without the need to reinforce the existing distribution system. The proposed virtual power line (VPL) operation method using Energy Storage System (ESS) based on power and voltage stabilization control effectively ensures hosting capacity of the EVS infrastructure.

A Multi-Criteria Decision Process for EV Charging Stations' Deployment: Findings from Greece

Leonidas Anthopoulos et al.

Summary: This study introduces a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework for EV charging infrastructure deployment and operation, which respects both the economic and the technical aspects for public charging stations. The results show that the installation and operation of public EV charging stations, located in private spaces to ensure their protection against vandalism, within the urban areas is the preferred deployment approach. The market model for the EV charging infrastructure ownership and operation in Greece is driven by the direct investments of limited vendors, focusing on sustainability and environmental protection, rather than being economically oriented.

Placement of Public Fast-Charging Station and Solar Distributed Generation with Battery Energy Storage in Distribution Network Considering Uncertainties and Traffic Congestion

Arnab Pal et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a sustainable solution for the allocation of Public Fast-Charging Stations (PFCS), Solar Distributed Generations (SDGs), and Battery Energy Storages (BES) that considers traffic and energy consumption. Two-stage optimization is used to address the location, size, and scheduling of PFCS, SDG, and BES, as well as the assignment of electric vehicles (EVs) to the appropriate PFCS to minimize energy consumption. The allocation problem is solved using Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), with the EV assignment problem being tackled by Integer Linear Programming (ILP). The approach also deals with uncertainties associated with EVs, traffic flow, and SDG using the 2m Point Estimation Method (2m PEM).
