Resumen:
Electric vehicles will certainly play an important and increasing role in the transport sector over the next years. As their number grows, they will affect the behavior of the electricity demand seen not only by distribution but also by transmission networks and so changes will also occur in the operation and expansion planning of the power systems. In this sense, this paper addresses the impact of large fleets of Plug-in-Electric Vehicles (PEVs) in transmission equipment investments. The developed model uses evolutionary particle swarm optimization (EPSO) to handle the planning problem over different scenarios regarding the evolution of PEVs and their impact on the demand. These scenarios consider the PEVs penetration level, the availability of charging and the related charging policies. The paper includes a Case Study based on the IEEE 24 busbar power system model for a 10-year period. The model uses an AC Optimal Power Flow to analyse the operation of the system for different investment paths over the years and the results show that coordinating the charging of PEVs can be an interesting solution to postpone the investments in transmission equipment thus reducing the associated costs.
