| Abstract | This thesis proposes optimal placement of vehicle to grid (V2G) charging station in the distribution system by using Particle Swarm Optimization with time varying coefficients (PSO - TVAC). While Electric Vehicles (EVs) will be additional load to the distribution system, utilities can use V2G to maximize total benefit including peak power providing, reliability improvement, and power loss reduction within system operating constraints. Charging stations are simulated as loads when they are charging EVs and as distributed generation when they are discharging to the grid. The optimal placement of V2G charging stations and sizes are determined at peak period. Test results on the nine bus test system and the actual thirty - five bus PEA distribution system render a higher total benefit than GA, Basic PSO, and PSO - TVIW. Accordingly, utilities can plan to optimally install V2G charging station to reduce peak demand, improve reliability through additional source, and energy loss reduction. |
