Mitigation of Three-Phase Power Imbalance and Flattening the Load Curve by PV Integration and EV Charging

Contemporary distribution can be seen with a large number of Distribution generations (DGs) along with Electric Vehicles (EVs). Their integration results in uneven distribution of power in the three-phase systems. The three-phase power imbalance is a serious issue and to mitigate that some efficient power management is required among the different skate holders. EV charging scheduling can be considered one of the ways to mitigate power variability from Solar photovoltaic (SPV) integrated into the distribution system. In this paper, a method is proposed to balance the power among three phases along with fattening the load profile by peak shaving and valley filling of the load curve. This provides scheduling of EV charging while taking inputs from various stakeholders. The Distribution System Operator (DSO) will suitably capitalize the potential of SPVs before offering a schedule for charging EVs. This work not only provides strategies for elevating the load from the grid but also makes consumers smarter to use of EVs.
