Optimal allocation of parking lots and PV systems in distribution system for energy loss reduction and voltage profile improvement

In this paper a simultaneous optimum allocation of parking lots and photovoltaic system for energy loss reduction and voltage profile improvement in a 24-hour period is presented. A proper scenario has been considered as charging and discharging scheme for parking lot. In addition, the impacts of reactive power generation of parking lots and PV systems inverter on loss reduction and voltage profile improvement is shown. Backward forward power flow method and Genetic algorithm have been used for optimization of this problem. The 33-bus IEEE distribution system has been considered for implementation of the proposed method.
