Regression-Supported Optimal Location Of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations on The IEEE-33 Bus Distribution System

Abstract

In this study, the technical impacts of electric vehicle charging stations on distribution systems were analyzed, and optimal placement combinations were determined. Load flow analyses were conducted on the IEEE-33 bus test system under various charging scenarios, and a multi-criteria fitness function was developed based on minimum voltage (Vmin), maximum line loading (Lmax), total reactive power (Qtotal), and active power loss (Ploss) parameters. Using simulation data, a regression model was trained to estimate fitness scores for different combinations. The combination with the highest score was selected as the optimal placement and evaluated in terms of system performance. As a result of scenario analyzes, it was observed that loading on the bars significantly affected system performance; in particular, it was determined that loading at the system's weak points had negative impacts on voltage drop and losses. In this context, Scenarios 2, 3, and 5 were identified as the most successful layouts, yielding more balanced results in terms of system voltage profile and losses.

IEEE-33 Bara Dağıtım Sistemi Üzerinde Elektrikli Araç Şarj İstasyonlarının Regresyon Destekli Konumlandırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, elektrikli araç şarj istasyonlarının dağıtım sistemleri üzerindeki teknik etkileri incelenmiş ve optimum yerleşim kombinasyonlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. IEEE-33 baralı test sistemi üzerinde tanımlanan senaryolar için yük akışı analizleri gerçekleştirilmiş; minimum gerilim(Vmin), maksimum hat yüklenmesi (Lmax), toplam reaktif güç(Qtop) ve aktif güç kaybı(Pkayıp) parametreleri üzerinden çok kriterli bir fitness fonksiyonu oluşturulmuştur. Simülasyon verileri kullanılarak regresyon modeli eğitilmiş ve farklı kombinasyonlar için tahmini fitness skorları hesaplanmıştır. En yüksek skora sahip kombinasyon optimum yerleşim olarak seçilmiş ve sistem performansı açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Senaryo analizleri sonucunda, baralara yapılan yüklemenin sistem performansını ciddi biçimde etkilediği görülmüş; özellikle sistemin zayıf noktalarında yapılan yüklemelerin gerilim düşümü ve kayıplar üzerinde olumsuz etkiler oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda Senaryo 2, 3 ve 5 en başarılı yerleşimler olarak belirlenmiş; sistem gerilim profili ve kayıplar açısından daha dengeli sonuçlar elde edilmiştir.
