Abstract

With the increasing number of electric vehicles, a large number of charging loads connected to the power system will have an impact on the economic and safe operation of the power system. In this paper a day-ahead optimal dispatching method for distribution network (DN) with fast charging station (FCS) integrated with photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage (ES) is proposed to deal with the negative impact of FCS on DN. By adjusting the load distribution of DN through the optimization decision of ES and soft open points (SOP), the operation level of DN is improved. Firstly, based on the historical vehicle travel data, Monte Carlo simulation method (MCSM) is applied to realize the simulation of fast charging load. Secondly, the uncertainties of PV power is addressed via a robust optimization model of the economic operation level of DN. Based on the second order cone relaxation and duality theory, a two-stage optimal dispatching model of DN is proposed. The optimization model is divided into main problem (MP) and sub problem (SP). For MP, the access position of FCS is adjusted based on SOP. And the charging and discharging power of ES is adjusted. The load distribution is optimized. For SP, based on the uncertainty of PV, the worst scenario of DN is calculated. The robustness of the proposed strategy is guaranteed. Finally, the proposed is verified based on the IEEE 33 bus system and a road network with 34 nodes. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively relieve line congestion of DN. The operating range of the voltage is better optimized. And the operation cost of DN is reduced significantly.
