PEV Charging

· Three levels of charging- Level 1: 120V/15A- Level 2: 240V/30A- Level 3: 480V/60A (not used)

Minimizing Power Loss· Reconfiguration Model· Delay Strategy

15

Network Reconfiguration

· Distribution network are typically constructed with sectionalizing switches

· Interconnecting lines can be switched on/off· Lines are configured radially outward from

the perspective of a substation

IEEE 33-Bus Distribution System

16

Power Loss

· Power loss in power lines exist based on · As the amount of load on a node increases,

so does the current → Greater power loss

17

Delayed Charging Strategy· Delay charging PEV until after a certain

period of time· Benefits:

- Reduced peak load- Valley-filling

18

Improved Network Reconfiguration· One-time optimization model

reformulated to minimize over a period of time- Enables the calculation of total power loss

during that period· Additional PEV delay constraint added

to allow PEV charge scheduling

Analysis· Network configuration remains the

same for delayed charging and unmanaged charging

· Power loss reduction difference between ‘no delay’ and ‘with delay’ increases as penetration level increases

Conclusion· With the addition of a delayed charging

strategy:- Peak load is reduced by shifting PEV

charging to later hours- Total power loss is reduced in the system- There is no configuration difference

between unmanaged and delayed charging
