In the past decade, plug-in (hybrid) electric vehicles (PHEVs) have been widely proposed as a viable alternative to internal combustion vehicles to reduce fossil fuel emissions and dependence on petroleum. Off-peak vehicle charging is frequently proposed to reduce the stress on the electric power grid by shaping the load curve. Time of use (TOU) rates have been recommended to incentivize PHEV owners to shift their charging patterns. Many utilities are not currently equipped to provide real-time use rates to their customers, but can provide two or three staggered rate levels. To date, an analysis of the optimal number of levels and rate-duration of TOU rates for a given consumer demographic versus utility generation mix has not been performed. In this paper, we propose to use the U. S. National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) database as a basis to analyze typical PHEV energy requirements. We use Monte Carlo methods to model the uncertainty inherent in battery state-of-charge and trip duration. We conclude the paper with an analysis of a different TOU rate schedule proposed by a mix of U. S. utilities. We introduce a centralized scheduling strategy for PHEV charging using a genetic algorithm to accommodate the size and complexity of the optimization.

New Infeed Correction Methods for Distance Protection in Distribution Systems

Fahd Hariri, Mariesa Crow

Summary: The paper discusses the challenges faced by traditional protection schemes due to the integration of distributed generation resources, proposing new methods to estimate fault distance in the presence of infeeds without requiring communication links. The performance of the proposed methods is demonstrated using a radial distribution system model in PSCAD(TM)/EMTDC(TM).

Tightening QC Relaxations of AC Optimal Power Flow Problems via Complex Per Unit Normalization

Mohammad Rasoul Narimani, Daniel K. Molzahn, Mariesa L. Crow

Summary: This paper investigates two improvements to convex relaxation methods for optimal power flow problems, one using polar representation of branch admittances and the other based on a coordinate transformation via complex per unit base power normalization. These improvements make the QC envelopes tighter, enhancing the accuracy of the convex relaxation approach.
