Impact of Plug-in Electric Vehicle Integration in Distribution System Congestion Management

The demand of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) raises simultaneous pressure on both transport and electrical sectors in recent time. The capability of large numbers of PEVs in grid-to-vehicle (G2V) at a time makes extra electrical load demand whereas; vehicle-to-grid (V2G) mode makes them popular as a power source. The congestion scenario arises as a result of uncoordinated G2V mode of large number of PEVs. The charging coordination of PEVs in the industrial node integrated with solar powered charging-cum-parking lot (SPCPL) has been considered in this work for congestion management in distribution system. The gradient boosting method (GBM) has been utilized at the beginning to forecast the state-of-charge (SOC) of PEVs. The tested network for this work is IEEE 38 bus radial distribution system.
