| Summary: | Abstract In order to address the increased demand for utility with the adoption of electrification in the transport sector, infrastructure development plays an important role. This research helps in planning the optimum utilisation of the existing infrastructure. The planning of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is analysed by considering various loads such as (1) static (2) dynamic and (3) heuristic on balanced radial distribution system (BRDS). The introduction of electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) into BRDS increases the total losses. The optimised reconfiguration helps in reducing the losses and ensures increased reliability of the system. The major objective of this process is to minimise both the real power loss and the reliability index energy not supplied of the radial distribution system (RDS) with the placement of charging stations. The planning is accomplished with a single‐step process in which the optimum location of the EVCS along with reconfiguration of BRDS is done using the multiple objective particle swarm optimisation (MOPSO). The performance of the BRDS with the proposed method is elaborated under three scenarios with three internal cases. The proposed methodology is validated through simulation for a three feeder IEEE 16 bus BRDS considering various load scenarios using MATLAB. |
