Abstract

The continuous increment in the utilization of electric vehicles (EV’s) that represent new loads on the electrical distribution networks. The distributed generators (DG’s) have been used in the distribution networks as renewable energy sources (RES) with the main electrical distribution network for supplying significant amount of the total connected loads. The using of DG’s lead to reduce the electrical active power losses and improving the voltage profile on the distribution network. A well-planned and efficient EV’s charging infrastructure is required for effective electric mobility. This paper presents a planning study for supplying up to four EVCS’s, each one increases the loading on the distribution network by 975 kW. The multi-objective frameworks of optimal simultaneous allocation of DG units and EV charging stations (EVCS’s) is found using the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization technique. The presented methodology is applied on the IEEE 33-bus distribution network.
