Abstract

:
Modern power systems present opportunities and challenges when integrating distributed generation and electric vehicle charging stations into unbalanced distribution networks. The performance and efficiency of both Distributed Generation (DG) and Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure are significantly affected by global temperature variation characteristics, which are taken into consideration in this study as it investigates the effects of these integrations. This scenario is further complicated by the unbalanced structure of distribution networks, which introduces inequalities that can enhance complexity and adverse effects. This paper analyzes the manner in which temperature changes influence the network operational voltage profile, power quality, energy losses, greenhouse harmful emissions, cost factor, and active and reactive power losses using analytical and heuristic techniques in the IEEE 69 bus network in both three-phase balance and modified unbalanced load conditions. In order to maximize adaptability and efficiency while minimizing the adverse impacts on the unbalanced distribution system, the findings demonstrate significant variables to take into account while locating the optimal location and size of DG and EV charging stations. To figure out the objective, three-phase distribution load flow is utilized by the particle swarm optimization technique. Greenhouse gas emissions dropped by 61.4%, 64.5%, and 60.98% in each of the three temperature case circumstances, while in the modified unbalanced condition, they dropped by 57.55%, 60.39%, and 62.79%. In balanced conditions, energy loss costs are reduced by 95.96%, 96.01%, and 96.05%, but in unbalanced conditions, they are reduced by 91.79%, 92.06%, and 92.46%. The outcomes provide valuable facts that electricity companies, decision-makers, along with other energy sector stakeholders may utilize to formulate strategies that adapt to the fluctuating patterns of electricity distribution during fluctuations in global temperature under balanced and unbalanced conditions of network.

The optimal renewable based DG planning in distribution systems considering different objectives and loads effect using distinct optimization techniques are proposed in [49,50,51]. The tariff bases analysis of hybrid micro-grid is explored by [52] to enhance the overall cost economy of the system. In [53], the analysis of potential and policies for photovoltaic electricity generation of the leading countries in solar energy are discovered. The detailed about the battery management system, charging station, traction motors for the electric vehicles are presented in [54]. Three-phase distribution system components planning parameters [55] and analysis related to the renewable DG with EV charging station planning in unbalanced distribution network [55] are reported to find its impact on three phase distribution system. Table 1 illustrates a comparative study of existing works with objective, methodology, research gap, system and findings.
Based on a compressive literature review, it is observed that few authors have considered the balanced and unbalanced distribution system comparative analysis while planning EV charging stations. Also, it was found that the distribution system performance is adversely effected by temperature variation, which is also ignored by the researcher in the distribution system planning. Therefore, the study proposed a comparative analysis of balanced and unbalanced distribution networks with and without EV charging stations considering the sessional temperature variation. Major research articles presented the performance analysis in the balanced IEEE system, but we assume that in practice, some unbalancing load distribution occurs, so our main focus in this paper is to compare the effect, and how to minimize this issue with the unbalancing effect of all three phases separately. This paper explains the unbalancing effect in the balanced case; if unbalancing occurs, then our system knows how to perform and how to improve the voltage, losses, cost-effective factors, and environmental factors.
The proposed work has been analyzed in a three-phase IEEE 69 bus distribution network under day and night global average temperature variation effect in lumped line parameters. This study was performed in different cases and checks the various performances like active and reactive power losses, voltage profile, pollutant emission, and cost of energy loss in both balanced and modified unbalanced load conditions. In this study, four EV corridors and two DG integrations have been integrated to improve performance with the PSO optimization technique. This paper is structured in mainly six different sections with abstract and reference sections. The first section is an introduction, the second section is the modeling of multi-source renewable integrated DG and EV charging stations, the third section is the modeling of a three-phase distributed network, the fourth section is the proposed methodology, the fifth section is the results and discussion and finally, the conclusion, which is the sixth section.

2. Modelling of Multi-Source Renewable Integrated DG and EV Charging Station

2.1. Multi-Source Renewable Integrated DG

Multi-source renewable integrated DG is a hybrid system that can deliver a more steady and dependable power supply; integrating numerous renewable energy sources into a DG system entails mixing various renewable energy technologies (such as biomass, wind turbines, and solar PV). The objective is to maximize grid efficiency and stability while generating, storing, and distributing active and reactive power as efficiently as possible. The modeling and planning of a multi-source renewable integrated distributed generation system are given below.

2.1.1. The Solar Model

The solar PV model, in which active power is based on solar irradiance and temperature, and reactive power in a PV system can be managed using the inverter, which can be controlled to provide or absorb reactive power as needed. The amount of reactive power that can be provided is limited by the inverter’s capacity and the amount of active power being generated [48,49].
P p v = η p v × A p v × I × ( 1 β ( T c e l l T r e f ) )
where P p v is the power output, η p v is the efficiency, A p v is the area, I is the irradiance, β is the temperature coefficient, T c e l l is the cell temperature, and T r e f is the reference temperature.
The reactive power Q p v provided by the inverter can be calculated as:
Q p v = S i 2 P p v 2
where S i represents as inverter capacity that is apparent power in (VA)

2.1.2. The Wind Model

The wind turbine model, wind turbine model, active power based on wind speed, air density, swept area and reactive power can be significant and depends on the type of generator and control strategies [49,50].
P w i n d = 0.5 × ρ × A × v 3 × η w i n d
where P w i n d is the power output, ρ is air density, A is the swept area, v is the wind speed, and η w i n d is the efficiency.

2.1.3. The Biomass Model

The biomass model is a model in which active power depends on biomass availability and conversion efficiency and reactive power is produced or consumed depending on the generator type [50,51,52].
P b i o m a s s = η b i o m a s s × M b i o m a s s × C V
Q b i o = P b i o m a s s × tan θ
where P b i o m a s s and Q b i o are the active and reactive power output, η b i o m a s s is the efficiency, M b i o m a s s is the mass flow rate of biomass, and CV is the calorific value.

2.2. Modelling of the EV Charging Station

EV charging stations are critical for accelerating the transition from traditional automobiles to more environmentally friendly and sustainable means of public and private transport. It facilitates grid integration and operation through the development and layout of charging stations, which would have an impact on the electrical system, making it possible to identify both benefits and potential concerns with grid integration. This involves assessing load control, load ability, and environmental feasibility while using renewable energy to power DN. In this study, two 19.2 kW EV charging stations and two 50 kW loads are integrated according to specifications. Several elements influence the operation of an EV charging station, including the charging station’s power rating, the charging protocol, the EV battery’s SoC, and any external conditions like temperature or grid demand. Here is a simplified equation that can be used to represent the charging process of an electric vehicle [53,54].
P e v ( t ) = P e v _ max × f ( t ) × P e v ( t )
where P e v ( t ) is the EV power delivered at time t. P e v _ max is the charging station maximum power rating of EV. f ( t ) is the charging profile.
DC fast charging is normally controlled by altering the voltage and current supplied by the charger, and (t) may include factors such as battery SoC, temperature, and maximum power constraints. The layout for planning of distribution network with EV and DG is given in Figure 1.

2.2.1. Modelling the State of Charge (SoC)

It is necessary to comprehend the charging characteristics of the EV battery during fast charging, as well as the charging station’s behavior and the charging protocol in use. A simplified formula for simulating the SoC during rapid charging is as follows. Charging and discharging are governed by system conditions and each battery’s state of charge [54].
S o C ( t ) = S o C ( i ) + ( t i × Q max × I c h arg i n g ( τ ) ) τ
where SoC(t) is the state of charge of the battery at time t. S o C ( i ) is the initial state of charge. I c h arg i n g ( τ ) is the charging current at time t. Q max is the maximum capacity of the battery. t i is the initial time of charging. The SoC limits are, S o C ( t ) min     S o C ( t )     S o C ( t ) max
This formula illustrates how the battery’s charge builds up over time. The integral term is the entire charge that has been transferred into the battery from the beginning of charging to the present time (t), normalized by the battery’s maximum capacity. This is an equation depicting fast-charging SoC behavior; more intricate models may include other variables and dynamics. Table 2 shows the classification of EV charging stations based on different levels, type and locations.
The expenditure of EV charging points in the US fluctuates depending on the utilization; Table 3 indicates the costs in USD for level 2, and level 3 [1].

2.2.2. Fast Charging Station Required Number

The number of fast charging stations in existence is determined by the total amount of electric vehicle load in a given location, as well as the battery capacity used, system load factor, and EV charging duration. The equation for calculation of approx. EV charging station number is given in [4].
N F C S e v = P e v × n e v × C t i m e C s t × C η × L F × N c × p . f
where P e v denotes the total average power of EV, n e v represents the number of EV, C t i m e is the charging time per day, C s t denotes the charger service time, C η denotes charging efficiency, the load factor L F × N c is for the number of connectors in FCS, and p . f denotes the power factors.

3. Modelling of the Three-Phase Distributed Network

Three-phase balanced and unbalanced systems are characterized by symmetrical components; however, in this work, the phase frame approach [55] of three-phase load flow is used to easily analyze the system. In the current system, mesh and node analysis for load flow should be performed. IEEE 69 bus mesh and nodal analysis have been used to account for three-phase balancing and unbalanced load flow. The phase frame approach is used to achieve three-phase balanced and unbalanced system performance [55,56]. Let us examine a simple three-phase lumped network diagram represented in Figure 2. The variables considered in Figure 2 represented for m node system with three phases a, b, c. Also R L 1 a , R L 1 b , R L 1 c , X L 1 a , X L 1 b , X L 1 c , Z 1 a _ s , Z 1 b _ s , Z 1 c _ s are the self resistances, self reactances and self impedances of lines for three phases a, b, c respectively. Similarly, the mutual impedance for the distributed network are Z 12 _ m , Z 12 _ m , Z 13 _ m can aslo be represented with its respective parameters for system..
v 1 a v 1 b v 1 c v 1 n v 2 a v 2 b v 2 c v 2 n = z 11 _ s z 12 _ m z 13 _ m z 1 n _ m z 21 _ m z 22 _ s z 23 _ m z 2 n _ m z 31 _ m z 32 _ m z 33 _ s z c n _ m z n 1 _ m z n 2 _ m z n 3 _ m z n n _ s i 12 a i 12 b i 12 c i 12 n
where z 11 _ s , z 22 _ s , z 33 _ s is the self-impedance and Z 12 _ m , Z 12 _ m , Z 13 _ m is the mutual impedance for the distributed network.
v b r a n c h = v 1 a b c n v 2 a b c n = z a b c n × i a b c n
where the branch voltage v b r a n c h , the branch current i a b c n , and the primitive impedance matrix z a b c n are set in the distribution system.
Y a b c n = ( Z a b c n ) 1
where Y a b c n is the primitive admittance matrix.
All primary and secondary windings’ admittance as well as their per unit value are considered in this analysis. In the balanced case study, all transformer topologies were star wound. However, the unbalanced case study additionally included some delta configurations. Therefore, the admittance matrix must be generated for conversion. Leakage admittance has not been taken factored into the load flow estimations of the current study. A power system that highlights fluctuating voltages as a result of different phase angles or unbalanced voltage values is known as an unbalanced DN. Figure 3 illustrates the representation of EV corridors in the single-line diagram of the IEEE 69 bus network.

The Modelling Effect on Distribution Due to the Temperature Effect

In the radial distribution model uniformly distributed series resistance, series inductance is defined in per unit length [35]. In this model, temperature is assumed to be a constant parameter, but nowadays, many power electronic static devices are connected to the system, and in static devices, temperature can affect performance. So, in this study, temperature effects are considered for further load flow analysis [20,21,22,23,24].
R T a c t u a l l i n e = R T r e f l i n e ( 1 + α ( T a c t u a l T r e f )
where
T r e f is the reference 20 degree temperature [33],
T is the radial line actual sessional global temperature,
R T r e f l i n e is the radial line resistance at reference in ohms,
R T a c t u a l l i n e is the radial line resistance at sessional temperature in ohms, and
α is the resistance temperature coefficient, considered as 0.0033/°C [33].
X ω , T a c t u a l l i n e = X ω , T r e f l i n e ( 1 + β ( T a c t u a l T r e f )  
where X ω , T r e f l i n e is the radial line reactance at reference temperature in ohms, X ω , T a c t u a l l i n e is the radial line reactance at sessional temperature in ohms, ω is the angular network frequency, β is the reactance temperature coefficient [24] of the ACSR conductor, i.e., β = 0.00429 in/°C [20].
The steady-state current flowing through the radial conductor can be calculated by the heat balance equation
i c u r r e n t e f f = ( q c o n + q r a d + q s o l ) R T l i n e
where i c u r r e n t e f f is the effective current flowing in the radial line, q c o n , q r a d , q s o l are the heat losses by convection, radiation and solar heat consumed by the conductor, and the formulas for calculation are mentioned in IEEE standard 738-2006 [29].
This study examines four cases of temperature change, varying the transmission line bus parameters in a sessional and day–night manner. A temperature reference of 20 °C is used while developing standard resistance and inductance. For the case study, the average annual night temperature was 18 °C, while the average annual day temperature was 32.33 °C. The details about the seasonal temperature are mentioned in Table 4.

4. Proposed Methodology

The backward–forward load flow method was adopted for the distribution network, and the backward–forward load flow analysis of the IEEE 69 bus, encompassing both unbalanced and balanced loads, was performed with the aid of KVL and KCL.

4.1. Multi-Objective Function (MOFs)

Multi-objective functions are widely used in complex scenarios that require balancing many objectives throughout the decision-making phase. MOFs allow for the optimized performance of conditions with numerous objectives. This analysis takes into account characteristics such as minimal voltage variation, minimal phase angle variation, and both reactive and active power losses.
M O F = k a × A P I l o s s _ i n d e x + k b × V . D . I i n d e x + k c × R P I l o s s _ i n d e x
where ka, kb, kc are the priority-based performance index weightage coefficients. The weight factor in this work is determined using the weighted sum approach [46], which adds up all of the specified weighted objectives to create a composite objective whose sum equals unity. The analytic hierarchy process approach is used to generate the weight indexing coefficient for each objective [47]. Here, the equation for the priority matrix (P) is provided, with details given in Table 5.
P = 1 3 2 1 / 3 1 1 / 5 1 / 2 5 1
The weight factors that were calculated by the analytic hierarchy process approach are 0.5012, 0.1185, and 0.3803; these are used in the objective function as the indexing coefficients for ka, kb, and kc.
The formulation of the distribution system performance index is as follows:
The Active Power Losses Index ( A P I l o s s _ i n d e x )
A P I l o s s _ i n d e x = P l o s s w i t h _ D G , E V P h a s e _ a + P l o s s w i t h _ D G , E V P h a s e _ b + P l o s s w i t h _ D G , E V P h a s e _ c P l o s s b a s e P h a s e _ a + P l o s s b a s e P h a s e _ b + P l o s s b a s e P h a s e _ c
The Reactive Power Losses Index ( R P I l o s s _ i n d e x )
R P I l o s s _ i n d e x = Q l o s s w i t h _ D G , E V P h a s e _ a + Q l o s s w i t h _ D G , E V P h a s e _ b + Q l o s s w i t h _ D G , E V P h a s e _ c Q l o s s b a s e P h a s e _ a + Q l o s s b a s e P h a s e _ b + Q l o s s b a s e P h a s e _ c
The Voltage Deviation Index (VDI)
V . D . I i n d e x = M a x i m u m ( V p h a s e _ a V r e f V r e f + V p h a s e _ b V r e f V r e f + V p h a s e _ c V r e f V r e f )
where 1.0 pu is considered as V r e f .
The details about the bus location in EV corridors in the IEEE69 bus network are given in Table 6 with the EV corridors bus location, type, size and cost information to plan for the different EV charging stations in the respective EV corridors.

4.2. Substation Power Supply Cost

The cost of supplying a grid substation is divided into various components, reflecting the complexity and scope of the infrastructure required to properly manage and distribute electricity. Here is a breakdown of the primary cost components connected with grid substation supply [50]:
Cos t s u b _ s t a t i o n = c s × ( P s 2 + Q s 2 )
where P s , Q s are the active and reactive power supply by grid.

4.3. Cost of Energy Loss (Per Annum)

An electrical distribution system’s overall operational efficiency and expenses, particularly those of grid substations, are significantly influenced by energy loss costs. When determining the annual cost of energy loss, it is vital to take into account the total energy provided to the distribution system year over year, the percentage of energy lost due to resistance in transmission lines and transformers, and the cost of power per unit [49].
C E L p e r _ y e a r = P t o t a l _ l o s s × ( k c p R L + k e p R L + L F × 8760 )
L o s s   f a c t o r ( L F ) = R b × l f + 1 R b × l f 2
where R b is taken as 0.2, 0.47 is the load factor, k c p is 57.6923 USD/kw for this test study, and k e p to plan for taken as 0.00961538 USD/kwh [49].

4.4. Distributed Generation (DG) Cost

DG is the decentralized production of energy close to the point of demand rather than at a big, central facility. DG systems include solar PV, wind turbines, small-scale hydro, biomass, fuel cells, and diesel generators. The cost of supplying power via DG varies according to the type of generation technology used [49,50]. Equations (22) and (23) represent the active and reactive power cost function.
C P D G = g 1 × P D G 2 + g 2 × P D G + g 3
where C P D G is the active power cost and C Q D G is the reactive power cost.
C Q D G = [ c o s t ( 1.1 × P D G p f ) c o s t ( ( ( 1.1 × P D G p f ) 2 Q D G 2 ) ] × c k
where the coefficients are considered as g1 = 0, g2 = 20, g3 = 0.25 and c k = 0.05–0.1.

4.5. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gases found in the atmosphere which cause global warming and the greenhouse effect. It is imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to mitigate the effects of global warming on ecosystems and human societies. In order to combat climate change and advance a sustainable future, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced. The pollutant emission factor for CO2 is 632.0 g/kWh, whereas that for SO2 is 2.74 g/kWh and that for NOx is 1.34 g/kWh [52]. The typical greenhouse gas emission calculation formula is [54].
G e m i s s i o n = E g r i d × G e m f a c t o r × ( 1 G r e e f f i c e n c y )
where G r e e f f i c e n c y is the overall greenhouse reduction efficiency, G e m f a c t o r is the greenhouse emission factor (g/kWh), and E g r i d represents the entire substation power capacity in (kWh).

4.6. Constraints

Power system constraints and limitations are essential elements that need to be taken into account during planning and operation to ensure effective, reliable, and stable power. To maintain system stability, power system design requires certain limitations. Limits need to be defined for voltage limits, active and reactive power demand, power balance, and the number of EV charging stations [4].

4.7. Particle Swarm Optimization

The PSO originated from a social interaction that resulted from the combination of biological mobility and swarm intelligence behavior. The PSO developer looks for the ideal place to gather food for the group as well as for individuals while travelling in a swarm. Each particle in the swarm is separately represented by the vector x(t) and velocity v(t). Each particle in the swarm uses its individual experience to guide it towards the food. Swarms follow each other as they look for the optimal spot. To update location and velocity in the direction of the food hunt, the swarm optimizes in two stages: locally best first, and then group global best [51].
Y i = n n + 1 = k p × ( a 1 × r 1 × ( G b e s t Y i = n n ) + a 2 × r 2 × ( G b e s t Y i = n n ) )
where r 1 , r 2 are random variables with values ranging from 0 to 1 and k p is the PSO weight factor, a 1 , a 2 are PSO acceleration coefficients. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the flow chart of the proposed methodology and PSO the optimization flow chart, respectively.

5. Results and Discussion

A three-phase IEEE 69 bus network has been taken as a reference to analyze the implemented work parameters for this comparative study. The data of IEEE 69 bus three phase balanced and modified unbalanced system is given in Appendix A. In the distribution network, due to the large R/X ratio, the three-phase backward–forward load flow sweep method is used to compute the three-phase balanced and modified unbalanced system. In this study, temperature-dependent effected parameters are considered in three cases. In Case I, all the performance parameters are computed in standard reference temperature. In Case II, the average night temperature of 18 °C is considered, and in Case III, the average day temperature of 32.33 °C is considered to analyze the line parameters effect for different seasons. In all the cases, DG and four mixed-level EV corridors integrated to improve the performance as well as economics and environmental factors. To maximize the objective benefit, DG and EV location in optimal place and size with the help of PSO optimization technique. All three cases perform in both balanced and modified unbalanced networks with the same objective, and performance parameters have been measured for discussion in this work.
The optimal size and location of DG and EV were computed with the help of PSO, which is tabulated in Table 7 and Table 8 in all three considered cases. In both the balanced and unbalanced bus systems, DG 2 is located at bus no 50 in all cases, but DG1’s optimal location changes in all cases as per tabular data. The EV1 and EV2 are located in the first and second corridors, and their size is 19.2 kW, but EV3 and EV4 are located in the third and fourth corridors with a size of 50 kW. The minimum, maximum value of voltage and the average voltage deviation for balanced and unbalanced networks are given in Table 9 and Table 10.
The voltage profiles for every case are displayed in Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 9, Figure 10 and Figure 11. In Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8, all three cases are evaluated in balance load data, but at the same time, Figure 9, Figure 10 and Figure 11 show the modified unbalanced load data in all three phases, the magnitude of minimum, maximum, and average voltage deviation voltage is tabulated in Table 9 and Table 10. The minimum voltage found in Case III, in unbalanced case phase A, is 0.82497 pu without DG and EV integration, but after integration, it improves. The maximum voltage is 1.00244 pu in unbalanced case phase A after the DG and EV integration. In all the cases, per-phase voltage improves after the DG and EV integration.
Table 11 shows the economics analysis for the CEL and DG installation cost estimated in all the cases and conditions. In the balanced case, DG costs are 29,370.13, 32,116.41, 32,454 USD, and in the unbalanced case, these are 32,945.71, 31,756.02, 32,454 USD in case I, case II, and case III. The CEL savings after DG and EV integration increased by 95.96, 96.01, 96.05 percent in balance and 91.79%, 92.06%, 92.46% in unbalanced cases.
In this study, active and reactive power loss reduction is the prime objective with the integration of both DG and EV; here, a three-phase analysis has been performed to find out all per-phase branch losses. In balance bus condition, active losses are 225.03 kW, 213.824 kW, and 250.337 kW in case I, case II, and case III, and the reactive power losses are 102.116 kVAr,95.046 kVAr, 238.961 kVAr. Then, after DG and EV, its losses were reduced. Modified three-phase unbalanced case active and reactive power loss data are tabulated in Table 12 and Table 13. Here, due to unbalanced load distribution in the three phases, the system becomes more nonlinear; thus, active and reactive loss increases compared to the balanced case. When computing the loss without DG and EV, the total active power losses are 242.698 kW, 230.111 kW, 273.857 kW, and total reactive power losses are 112.066 kVAr, 105.031 kVAr, 261.413 kVAr in three cases, respectively. But after DG and EV integration in optimal location and size losses decrease in all the case scenarios, individual per phase active and reactive loss data are tabulated in Table 12 and Table 13.
The emission of harmful greenhouse gas parameters is also reduced in this case study, which is tabulated in Table 14. Here, CO2, SO2, NOx, and CO gas are considered for calculation as per Equation (24). The total emission of greenhouse gases is 632.468 g/kWh, and their effect is calculated with and without DG and EV cases in both balanced and unbalanced conditions. In the balanced case, the emission was reduced by 61.4%, 64.5%, and 60.98% in all three study cases, and in the modified unbalanced condition, it was reduced by 57.55%, 60.39%, and 62.79%. Table 15 shows the comparative analysis of grid supply efficiency in balanced and unbalanced networks in all cases. The results analysis shows that the efficiency has increased while considering the DG and EV planning in the distribution network. The total power losses and efficiency for different cases of the balanced system for the case I at standard temperature are 247.1118 MVA and 95.27% (without DG and EV) and 12.81775 MVA and 99.71% (with DG and EV), for case II at 18 °C temperature are 234.3301 MVA and 95.51% (without DG and EV) and 11.83228 MVA and 99.73% (with DG and EV) and for case III at 32.33 °C temperature are 346.0794 MVA and 92.75% (without DG and EV) and 12.12804 MVA and 99.70% (with DG and EV), respectively. Similarly, for the different cases of the unbalanced system the total power losses and efficiency for the case I at standard temperature are 267.3221 MVA and 94.34% (without DG and EV) and 25.55506 MVA and 99.46% (with DG and EV), for case II at 18 °C temperature are 253.1297 MVA and 94.62% (without DG and EV) and 23.48099 MVA and 99.51% (with DG and EV) and for case III at 32.33 °C temperature are 378.5953 MVA and 92.79% (without DG and EV) and 28.55009 MVA and 99.42% (with DG and EV) correspondingly. This analysis clearly shows that the losses are increased, and the efficiency is reduced with the increment in the temperature for the balanced and unbalanced systems. Here, it is clearly found that the unbalanced nature will also affect system performance by temperature variations. As shown in the analysis, the losses are always high and the efficiency is low for the unbalanced system as compared to the balanced system.

6. Conclusions

This study analyzed and evaluated three cases of unbalanced and balanced load distributions on an IEEE 69 bus, taking into account global average temperature changes during the day and night. Temperature variations affect system performance parameters, showing the complexity of the present configuration. This study proposes EV charging stations with optimal DG location with 3.64% EV load penetration. Here, DG mitigates the impact of the load on EV charging stations. In all cases, greenhouse gas emissions are lowered by 60.98–64.5% in the balanced scenario and 57.55–62.79% in the unbalanced scenario. The annual cost of energy loss was minimized by almost 96% in balance and almost 92% in unbalanced network in all the cases after the DG and EV integration in the test bus network. This study’s multi-objective function is employed to figure out the optimal bus location along with the size of distributed DG and EV. The incorporation of DG and EV into the present network lowered both reactive and active power loss. This variation in global temperature comparison research demonstrates the technological, economic, and environmental impacts of balanced versus unbalanced networks. The main characteristic of unbalanced systems is voltage stability, which is reduced, and the system becomes more complex when compared to balance. The optimal location of DG and EV also varies with unbalanced load distribution. The CEL and GHG savings are similarly diminished when operating the same load in an imbalanced situation. Active and reactive power losses are increased, and the size of the DG and cost are increased. However, it can be concluded that if any network needs reconstruction with DG and EV, the unbalancing effect of the load must always be considered. Performance, like efficiency, stability, and losses are also affected by temperature variation under balanced and unbalanced conditions.
