Abstract

An emerging scenario of using Electric Vehicles to provide reactive power support arises as the population of Electric Vehicles (EVs) increases significantly. In view of this emerging scenario, a new application of Particle Swarm Optimization is proposed in this paper, which is adopting Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) based reactive power dispatch. Rather than utilizing reactive power support from central generators, the proposed method aims at increasing reactive power support from EVs, which are distributed. Case study on a modified IEEE 9-bus system is done and results show that the proposed method can bring convincing benefits on voltage stability and power loss in the overall power system.
