摘要

This paper presents the development of a probabilistic benchmark for assessing the impacts of the uncontrolled charging of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) on residential distribution networks. Unlike the previous research, which adopted several assumptions and approximations, this paper analyzes the available load and transportation data to extract probability distribution functions describing different uncertainties characterizing the charging process. Monte Carlo simulation is utilized to handle these uncertainties and to predict the anticipated impacts of PHEVs on a representative test network. Finally, conclusions are drawn to assist utilities in integrating PHEVs into their networks.
