Siting and Sizing of EV Charging Stations in Active Distribution Systems Considering V2G Capability

The growing interest in electric vehicles mandates creating better charging infrastructure across the grid. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to siting and sizing of fast charging station in distribution grid with existing distributed energy resources considering the vehicle to grid (V2G) capability of the charging station. In this paper, the IEEE 69 bus radial system is superimposed with road network to consider the availability of land for construction of charging stations in the optimization problem. Shuffled Frog Leaping algorithm is used to optimize with congestion and loss minimization as objectives.
