“…The stochastic behavior of PHEVs is an outcome of numerous factors, such as battery capacity, the number of vehicles, charging speeds, time at which it is plugged in or plugged out, daily distance traveled by an EV, type of vehicle, and charging patterns. 43 In this study, the load modeling of PHEVs is based on some factors, such as daily distance traveled by an EV, the number of vehicles, time at which it is plugged in, that is, arrival time and plugged out, that is, departure time. The parameters such as daily distance traveled by an EV, arrival time, and departure time are extracted by using Monte Carlo simulation from their respective probability density functions and information regarding these probability density functions are reported in Ref.…”
