Active Power Thermal Feasibility Assessment of EV Integration with DER Scheduling and Distribution Network Reconfiguration
The study used linear programming to evaluate how integrating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Network Topology Reconfiguration (NTR) affects operational costs when adding electric vehicles (EVs). The analysis shows that the combined SDNTR-DER approach is the most cost-effective way to handle high EV penetration, significantly lowering costs and increasing network capacity compared to other scenarios.
