Optimal Planning and Operation of Distributed Energy Resources Considering Uncertainty on EVs

Operation of distributed energy resources is taking importance nowadays. This paper proposes an optimal planning and operation model of distributed energy resources in a district taking into account the mobility of consumers using conventional fuel vehicles (EV) or electric vehicles (EV). The stochastic model considers the uncertainty of the type of vehicle, availability and distance traveled, and then it manages the available resources to obtain the maximum benefit from the grid. Results show that the EVs assist to achieve greater benefits of the distributed resources. Moreover, the costs per driven km are mainly independent of the type of vehicle considered.
