Abstract

The  paper  deals  with  the  optimal  operation  of  a  Smart   Grid   (SG)   including   distributed   resources   based   on   dispersed generation (DG) units and plug-in vehicle fleets with the  aim  of  furnishing  some  services  both  inside  the  SG  and  outside  to  the  interconnected  electrical  system.  The  distributed  resources are connected through power electronic interfaces and are  coordinated  by  a  centralized  control  system  to  provide  the  usual energy service as well as some ancillary services such as reactive  power  control  and  compensation  for  some  continuous  Power Quality (PQ) disturbances into the SG. In addition, plug-in   vehicle   fleets   are   coordinated   to   charge/discharge   their   storage  systems  with  the  aim  to  perform  the  Smart  Charging  service,    so    as    to    provide    regulation    service    for    the    interconnected  electrical  system,  as  well  as  to  compensate  the  variability  of  DG  units  powers  based  on  uncertain  primary  sources. Computer time domain simulations were effected on a low  voltage  30-bus  SG  including  wind  turbine,  photovoltaic  systems and plug-in vehicles.
