Optimal Charging of Electrical Vehicles in the Smart City for Loss Minimization and Voltage Improvement
Journal Title: Acta Marisiensis. Seria Technologica - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The world is two-thirds of the way through a century-long cycle of rapid urbanisation, at the end of which more than 70% of people will live in cities (World Health Organization, 2014). The urban transformation has become a major contributor to economic, demographic, social and environmental change. Electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular over the last few years and are considered as an important means to mitigate air pollution problems in big cities around the world. With their onboard batteries, EVs also present an opportunity to serve as a demand response tool in supporting future smart grid where there is usually high penetration level of renewable energy (RE) sources. In this paper, we consider the coordinated charging control of electrical vehicles in the charging stations. The goals are to illustrate how the integration of EVs at the urban area improve the overall load schedule of the distribution network.

Mathematic Modeling of Experimental Results on the Influence of Technological Factors on Production in Some Energy Crops
The present article, based on data obtained from a study which analyzed the influence of technological and ecological factors on rape plants (Brassica napus) production capacity - the Bolero variety – approaches the mode...
Distribution Network Reconfiguration for Power Loss Minimization and Voltage Profile Enhancement Using Ant Lion Algorithm
Distribution networks are designed as a ring and operated as a radial form. Therefore, the reconfiguration is a simple and cost-effective way to use existing facilities without the need for any new equipment in distribut...
An exemplified introduction of the Laplace transform
We solve a linear Cauchy problem with discontinuous perturbation two ways, by solving continuous Cauchy problems successively and by using Laplace transform. An example is given when the last one cannot be used any longe...

Digital Solution for Fast Evaluation of the Power Factor in Power Networks
Power quality evaluation involves measurements and determinations of some power quality indicators. One of these indicators is represented by the power factor. The importance of the power factor as an indicator of power...
