This paper presents a new simulation tool which studies the impact of the deployment of electric vehicles in distribution networks. The tool optimizes the operation of the system and is based on grid operation simulation, which takes the flexibility of controllable resources into account. The problem is tackled as an optimal power flow problem. The tool allows modelling the different kinds of distributed energy resources. The different components of the model are first presented. Then, the inputs are described and some outputs are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
