electric vehicles can effectively reduce pollution emissions and improve energy efficiency. But as a new type of load
it brings social benefits and many challenges to the operation of the power grid. With the gradual increase of electric vehicle penetration
the load of power system will increase significantly and promote the transformation of distribution network in advance. When expanding and upgrading the distribution network
it is necessary to fully consider the impact of electric vehicles and make reasonable planning. The influence of the development of electric vehicles on the power system and the factors that need to be considered in the process of expansion of distribution network are analyzed. Then the factors that affect the charging load of electric vehicles
and the corresponding prediction model is established. Based on the prediction model
the observable quantity which can reflect the model parameters and be easily collected is selected. Based on the results of load forecasting
the regional economic model of distribution network is established to guide the selection of transformers in the upgrade process. On the premise of satisfying the reliability
the adaptability and economy of power grid are improved
and the coordinated development of electric vehicles and power grid is further promoted.
