Automate of capacitor placement in microgrid system under EVs load penetration

Abstract

This paper presents the automate of capacitor placement in micro grid system under EVs load penetration. The proposed 26 bus micro grid distribution system is selected for simulating the performance of EVs load including charging station. The comparison between RLF and HIMPL method is also proposed in this paper. The simulation results showed that the optimal capacitor placement when varied EVs load penetration level, the RLF method can be found optimal position under incomprehensive for sizing capacitor. Meanwhile, The HIMPL method can be also given the optimal position as the RLF method by using selection of optimal capacitor sizing. The optimal position and optimal sizing of capacitor are bus No.14, capacitor size 7,500 kVar, respectively. Therefore, this study can be verified the selection of capacitor sizing for placement in microgrid system when EVs load and charging station are installed.
