Optimal Load Management With Inclusion of Electric Vehicles and Distributed Energy Resources

This paper presents an optimal load management (OLM) strategy for distribution systems with high penetration of electric vehicle chargers and distributed energy resources. The paper describes two formulations of the OLM and practical implementation issues aimed to improve OLM accuracy and to reduce its computational burden. The proposed OLM formulations are specifically designed to provide a good compromise between computational burden and result accuracy. A radial system with three-phase unbalanced section is used for illustrating the proposed OLM technique.
