Description
Summary:In the power industry, the deployment of smart grid resources in power systems has become an issue of major interest. The deployment of smart grid resources represents an additional uncertainty in the integrated generation and transmission planning that raises uncertainties in investment-related decision making. This paper presents a new power system planning method for the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) and wind power generators into power systems. An interval-stochastic programming method is used to account for the heterogeneous uncertainties attributable to natural variability and lack of knowledge. The numerical results compare the multiple integration scenarios and verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of cost distribution and regret cost.
