Abstract:  The optimal sitting and sizing problem of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations has been studied in many existing publications for achieving spatially coordinated distributions of EV charging loads as well as other objectives. However, the determination of electrical connecting nodes of EV charging stations in a distribution system has not yet been investigated, and is the subject of this paper with the impacts on power flow considered. First, the distributions of initial charging states and starting charging time points of EVs are attained based on the fitting results of traveling statistics, and a probability model for describing EV charging loads is established and then solved by Monte Carlo simulations with demonstration of actual data of electric taxis in Shenzhen. Then, based on the percentages of bus voltage deviations and branch loss increments, a comprehensive evaluation index is employed for assessing the impacts of EV charging stations on power flow in the distribution system concerned, and the electrical connecting points of EV charging stations in the distribution system are then optimally determined. Finally, a modified version of the IEEE 33-node distribution system is served for demonstrating the proposed method.
