Abstract
ABSTRACTPower systems should operate in reliable, stable, and efficient conditions. Addition of new generation units or loads to the power systems may change their performance. Therefore, appropriate decisions should be made to manage these elements to improve the power system performance. In this study, optimal placement and sizing of photovoltaic systems and electric parking lots (EPLs) are studied considering the reactive power capability of the inverters and load variation in a 24-h period. For the EPL, a proper charge/discharge scheme (CDS) is initially proposed to flatten the daily load profile; then the EPL with the associated CDS is considered to find its optimal location. Voltage profile, energy losses, bus, and line voltage stability are considered as the objectives of the problem. Genetic algorithm and backward–forward power flow method are utilised to solve the problem considering the IEEE 33-bus system. The results show that all objectives are improved utilising the proposed method.
