Abstract

Due to the growth of technology and changes in government policies to reduce fossil fuel consumption, the tendency to use electric vehicles by private enterprises, public transportation (including taxis and buses), and vehicles providing public services (such as ambulances and police cars) has increased. Since these cars need to charge their batteries, a new electrical load is imposed on the network. Therefore, according to their increasing growth, various network issues, including energy management, need to be studied and investigated. On the other hand, the governments' policy favors the use of renewable resources, such as wind turbine farms and solar cells. Wind turbines have been located in pre-studied locations, and photovoltaic cells are used on residential and commercial roofs with underutilized generation capacity. These sources can compensate for the power required by electric vehicles. In this paper, the impact of different electric vehicles charging methods and the random nature of power generation by wind turbines and photovoltaic cells are studied in the 33-bus distribution system, and the energy management is carried out. For this purpose, a new method is proposed and the energy management problem is performed by the Harmony algorithm. Finally, the obtained results from the simulation studies indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
