Abstract

This paper presents a component model of an unbalanced three-phase distribution system and load flow analysis by forward-backward sweep methods. For instance, models of essential components include sources, transformers, distribution lines, feeder loads, and the electric vehicles (EVs) load. Significantly, the EVs load state is crucial in the future distribution system. The simulation results show that the accuracy is close to the acceptable level compared to the reference research. Moreover, a greater Evs load penetration affects the magnitude of the voltage more than a smaller one. Therefore, the load flow analysis with EVs load penetration is essential. The modeling and methods need accurate and precise improvement for future distribution system operations.
