Abstract
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are an increasingly attractive response to the future transportation challenges because of their potential economic and environmental benefits. When integrating PHEVs into the distribution system, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of PHEVs on distribution system reliability from the perspective of system adequacy. This paper develops a probabilistic reliability model for integrated distribution and PHEV systems. A comprehensive and time sequential Monte Carlo simulation method is applied to generate the artificial operation history for each component of a residential distribution system, and a complete simulation procedure considering the PHEVs integration is proposed. The IEEE-34 feeder system is utilized as the residential distribution network in case studies, and simulation results are presented and discussed.
