Abstract

With appearance and development of Microgrids (MGs), the number of MGs is continuously increased in smart distribution networks. Hence the future distribution network operation and planning is encountered with new challenges. In this paper, the problem of networked-microgrids based distribution network planning is considered. The parking lot for electric vehicles as storage resources to reduce the impacts of uncertainties on networked-MGs design is investigated. The boundary of MGs is determined and segmented considering techno-economical constraints such as total network planning and operation costs, reliability improvement of MGs, optimal sizing and locating of energy resources within each MGs and the voltage profile improvement in the presence of EV’s parking lot as storages. For each objective function, optimal border of each MG, its relevant energy resources and EV parking lot capacity and location as well as optimal layout of smart distribution network is obtained. The results are represented both tabular form and graphically.
