Integration of electric vehicles into an industrial grid: Impact assessment and solutions

In this paper, a simulation tool based on the probabilistic three phase Load Flow (PLF) program has been developed by using Monte Carlo techniques. By using this tool, technical and economic impacts of EV integration on the distribution network are assessed. Studies of the potential opportunities of ancillary services provided by EV are also carried out by using this tool. In order to reduce congestion problems caused by EV integration into the network. The paper proposes EV charging strategies to reduce the peak charging consumption. These strategies are based on the interruption (on/off) of EV charging. A binary linear programming combined with the bisection scheme is used to manage the charging plan of electric vehicles. An industrial grid is used for these studies.
