Voltage and Frequency Stability Analysis of Transmission Power Grids with EV Charging Stations

The large-scale Electric Vehicle (EV) integration into the electricity grid has initiated significant challenges to grid stability issues due to dynamic loadability events. Although electric vehicle impacts on distribution systems are well studied, transmission-level investigations remain limited. In this research paper, case scenarios of EV load models as charging stations have been considered for stability analysis (Voltage and Frequency Stability) to address EV operation on the transmission grid. It is also noted that the operation of EV stations due to their high loadability causes more stability complexities to the grid compared to other loads in a power network. Simulations have been conducted on two different power networks of the IEEE-9 and IEEE-39 bus test systems, respectively.

Optimal Placement and Sizing of PV-Based DG Units in a Distribution Network Considering Loading Capacity

This research paper proposes an efficient methodology for the allocation of multiple photovoltaic (PV)-based distributed generation (DG) units in the radial distribution network (RDN), while considering the loading capacity of the network. The proposed method is structured using a two-stage approach. In the first stage, the additional active power loading capacity of the network and each individual bus is determined using an iterative approach. This analysis quantifies the network's additional active loadability limits and identifies buses with high active power loading capacity, which are considered candidate nodes for the placement of DG units. Subsequently, in the second stage, the optimal locations and sizes of DG units are determined using the Monte Carlo method, with the objectives of minimizing voltage deviation and reducing active power losses in the network. The methodology is validated on the standard IEEE 33-bus RDN to determine the optimal locations and sizes of DG units. The results demonstrate that the optimal allocation of one, two, and three DG units, achieved from proposed method, reduces network active power losses by 50.37%, 58.62%, and 65.16%, respectively, and also significantly enhances the voltage profile across all buses. When the obtained results are compared with the results of several existing studies, it is found that the proposed method allows for larger DG capacities and maintains better voltage profiles throughout the RDN.
