Planning of DG and EV charging station in distribution system using SCA

Advancement and utility of Electric Vehicles (EV) are increasing exponentially; to fulfil this requirement it is a need to reconstruct the radial distribution system. Renewable DG systems can be integrated into existing distribution systems with electric corridors to provide clean and reliable power to consumers. An electric corridor is a dedicated line or route for the transmission and distribution of electricity, typically designed to meet high power demand or to connect power generation facilities to the electrical grid. Renewable DG can be installed along the electric corridors to generate electricity locally and reduce the need for centralized power generation. In addition to providing clean energy, renewable DG systems can also help to reduce electricity losses and improve grid reliability by reducing dependence on centralized power generation and transmission infrastructure. Integrating renewable DG systems into distribution systems with electric corridors requires careful planning and coordination to ensure the systems are appropriately designed, installed, and operated. Factors such as system capacity, voltage stability, and power quality must be carefully considered to avoid grid instability or damage to the equipment. In this study, EV load is directly incorporated with IEEE 69 bus to find the optimal placement of Renewable DG so that the effect of EV charging station can be calculated to improve the voltage profile and help in the minimization of loss.
