A New Approach for Distribution System Reconfiguration with PV, ESS and EV Availability

In this study, the aim is to minimize operational and line losses costs by reconfiguring the grid in various cases, including line fault occurrences. This is achieved by employing the Mixed Integer Quadratically Constrained Program (MIQCP) optimization designed for a grid with diverse systems, adapting to parameters that vary over time. The operational costs encompass switching costs, energy generation, as well as charging and discharging expenses. A test case model is utilized, featuring a modified 17-busbar setup with dynamic loads, serving as the grid model. This model incorporates various systems such as the Photovoltaic (PV) system, an energy storage system (ESS), and an electric vehicle (EV) charging station. Here, it is accepted that the parameters of EVs, power demands and storage capacities are time dependent.
