Assessment of Impacts on Integration of Disorderly EV Charging Load to Flexible Distribution Network

Abstract

The use of power electronics technology to transform the distribution network, realize multi-terminal flexible closed-loop operation and greatly improve the power supply capacity is an important form of future development of the distribution network. At the same time, along with the large-scale promotion of electric vehicles (EVs), the disorderly access of charging load is bound to bring challenges to the safe and stable operation of the distribution network. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate and analyse the impact of EV charging load access in the flexible distribution network. Firstly, this paper constructs operational constraints based on the operating characteristics of the flexible distribution network; secondly, based on the disorderly access characteristics of EVs, the EV charging load model is constructed through a multi-factor combination; finally, tests are carried out in the IEEE 33 interconnection system. The results show that the flexible interconnection can effectively optimize the distribution of tides over time and suppress the voltage deviation.
