| Summary: | It is well-known that load variation and nonlinearity have detrimental impacts on the operation and performance of the conventional power systems and future smart grids (SGs) including their voltage profiles, power quality, losses and efficiency particularly during the peak load hours. This paper will perform optimal scheduling of transformer load tap changer (LTC) and switched shunt capacitors (SSCs) in smart grid with nonlinear loads and plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging activities to improve voltage profile, reduce grid losses and control the total harmonic distortion (THD). An established genetic algorithm (GA) for the dispatch of LTC/SSC and a recently implemented algorithm based on maximum sensitivity selections (MSS) optimization for coordination of PEVs are used to perform detailed simulations and analyses. |
