    Abstract

    In this chapter, a stochastic-robust hybrid optimization approach is proposed to evaluate the impact of high penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the electricity distribution network in the presence of combined heat and power (CHP), non-gas fired distributed units, and PVs with the aim of minimizing total operating costs. The vehicles have been congregated into fleets, utilizing the K-means clustering, then the stochastic programming (SP) method was deployed to deal with indefinite parameters such as their arrival time, departure time, and daily traveled miles. Furthermore, to integrate a risk measure into the problem, robust optimization method (RO) has been deployed in parallel to SP for the purpose of dealing with uncertain parameters that do not follow any specific probability distribution, such as solar energy production and energy price. The case studies evaluate the impact of smart and uncoordinated charge control methods.
