Amalgamation of Electric Vehicles in an Active Low Voltage Network for Load Management

The photovoltaic (PV) system inclusion in the distribution network is the great deal to handle the inadequacy of energy demand. However, the increased penetration is being questioned in low voltage (LV) networks, such as reverse power flow, frequency and voltage variation. In order to handle the clean energy electric vehicles (EVs) amalgamation in the active low voltage network (ALVN) is analyzed in this paper. The EV battery is utilized as active element to act as load/source accordingly. The EV control rely on state of charge (SoC), network voltage level and the PV output power. The PV system is considered with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Different scenarios have been incorporated on a PV based active distribution network with an IEEE 33 bus radial system using MATLAB/Simulink. The results show EV and PV assisted each other successfully to track the demand and generation in terms of under/over voltage situations in the network.
