1 Introduction

Currently there has been a considerable growth of plug-inhybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) integrated in electric powerdistribution systems PHEVwhich are randomly injected intoa distribution system would introduce many challenges andimpacts on the system The uncontrolled connection anddisconnection of PHEV into a power distribution systemwill increase harmonic voltage and current distortions [1 2]From the power system operation perspective the large scaleintegration of PHEV into the grid poses a real challenge Asmost of the electric vehicles are fully or partially chargedby electricity it makes them connected to the distributiongrid for considerable time duration [1] Large scale con-nection of PHEV will cause uncertainty in power systemoperation Some studies have shown that without any kindof mitigation the charging of PHEV incurs the electricitygrid with additional loads which results in increment ofaggregated load during peak hours and hence impacts theoverall reliability of the grid [2] High penetration of PHEVload can give rise to operating conditions which do not arisein traditional power systems and one of the potential issuesthat need to be addressed involves impact on power quality

which includes interruption of service variation in voltagemagnitude and harmonic distortion in voltage and current[3]Thus integration of PHEVmay have adverse effect on thedistribution network if the penetration is not carefully andsystematically planned due to the nonlinear nature of PHEVthat generate harmonics which can cause abnormal operationsuch as increased losses reduced efficiency temperature riseand premature insulation and winding failures Harmoniccurrents generated by large number of single phase electronicloads present in a distribution system can cause appreciableharmonic distortion in the grid voltage [4 5] The presenceof nonlinear electronic loads will cause increasing spectralinjectors of low order harmonic currents into the grid [4]

Many studies have been conducted related to the impactof PHEV on the grid during normal charging behavior andalso concern the uncoordinated charging behavior of PHEVwhen connected randomly in the distribution system [6ndash8] Previous studies that investigate the impact of PHEVintegration on harmonics consider area residential loadcurve In the proposed study on impact of PHEV harmoniceffects on a practical residential load shape have been exertedconsidering two cases on-peak and off-peak hours duringrapid charging In addition the impacts of PHEV on other

power quality issues like voltage variation and circuit lossesare also studied considering the daily load

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of PHEVon voltage and current harmonic distortion by performingharmonic analysis on a test system using the OpenDSS soft-ware Harmonic power flow was executed at each harmonicfrequency at the given harmonic spectrum associated withthe PHEV Due to the propagation of harmonic currentsthe harmonic voltages at all nodes in the system werethen captured In this study the baseband harmonics areconfined to well below the 15th harmonic of the fundamentalfrequency of 50Hz (850Hz) The reason for confinement ofthe harmonic voltages and currents is based on several factorsincluding the limited bandwidth of the distribution systemand also the limited harmonic content of typical distributionsystem loads

2 System Modeling

PHEV has been modeled as loads at separate individualphases to take into account the unbalanced three-phase loadsand also single phase loads are very common in distributionfeeders For other loads in the distribution system constantpower loads are considered

21 Line Model For each of the series elements a set ofequations based on the ABCD parameters have been usedThese parameters relate the sending end three-phase voltagesand currents to the receiving end three-phase voltages andcurrents for each harmonic which are given by

The ABCD parameters of all the elements except the loadtap changers (LTCs) are constant In case of LTCs theseparameters depend on the tap position during the time of

operation The following equations are used to represent theA and Dmatrices for each LTC

The typical line harmonic current content of PHEVobtained from [8] is shown in Table 1 Another harmoniccontent acquired from the Nissan Leaf vehicle real charger isshown in Table 2

3 Harmonic Power Flow

The harmonic study involves solving for the node voltages ateach harmonic using the network equation given by

[119868ℎ] = [119884ℎ] [119881ℎ] ℎ = 1 2 119873 (5)

where 119868ℎ is the vector of source currents 119884ℎ is the nodaladmittance matrix 119881ℎ is the vector of bus voltages and ℎ isthe harmonic order

The nonlinear load is modeled as a decoupled harmonicsource that injects harmonic currents into the system Thesecurrents are initialized to proper magnitudes and phaseangles based on the fundamental power flow solution andharmonic spectrum associated with them The harmoniccurrent magnitude is assumed to be a percentage of thefundamental load current The phase relationship between

the fundamental current and nonlinear element current usedto calculate the harmonic phase angle is given by

120579ℎ = 120579ℎspectrum + ℎ (1205791 minus 1205791spectrum) (6)

where ℎ is the harmonic number 120579ℎ is the phase angle ofcurrent injected at harmonic ℎ 120579ℎspectrum is the phase anglespecified in the harmonic spectrum at harmonic ℎ 1205791 is thefundamental current phase angle and 1205791spectrum is the phaseangle displacement at fundamental frequency given in thespectrum

For the harmonic power flow calculation the decoupledharmonic power flow in OpenDSS is used At harmonicfrequencies the distribution system is modeled in the pres-ence of passive elements and harmonic current sources Therelated admittance matrix is modified in terms of harmonicfrequency Due to harmonic current injections into thesystem the nonlinear loads are modeled as current sourcesModeling of the fundamental and the ℎth harmonic currentof nonlinear load connected at node n is given by thefollowing equations

(8)

For THDV and THD119894 the applicable limit to be considered inthe study is up to 15th harmonic the harmonic orders thatcome after the 15th harmonic order are negligible

Once the conventional power flow converges harmonicpower flow mode is initialized OpenDSS implements adecoupled harmonic power flow algorithm where it buildsthe linear admittance matrix at each of the frequenciesspecified in the program and uses a direct solution to solvefor voltages and currents throughout the system at all thespecified frequencies [8]

4 Methodology

It can be said that PHEV will draw constant energy through-out the charging process Considering this important piece ofinformation in studying the impact of PHEV on a distribu-tion system PHEV can be represented by a harmonic sourceload and that harmonic analysis can be performed using timeseries analysis OpenDSS and DSSimpc software are used toperform the power flow and time series harmonic analysis

41 Test System Description The IEEE37 test distributionsystem is modeled by using both OpenDSS and DSSimpcsoftware as shown in Figure 2 Both software types are used torun the system power flow and analyze the PHEV harmonicimpact and other power quality impact The studied systemvoltage is 48 kV and the residential network voltage is 220V

42 Daily Residential Load A typical residential power loadshape in Malaysia was used in this study as shown inFigure 3 The load profiles for a period of 24 hours with theinstantaneous power consumption given on an hourly basisare shown in the figure The off-peak time starts from 9 amto 6 pm where most of the people are not at home at thattime as depicted in the load shape and then a sudden increasetakes place after 6 pm and reaches a maximum at 8 pm andafter that gradually decreases at midnight Since Malaysia isconsidered as a hot country where consumers usually useair conditioners till late night hours high demand continuesuntil midnight

43 Vehicle Charging Time If there is no control in chargingtime most of PHEVwill be charged directly when arriving atthe location where the chargers are located Most likely whenPHEV arrives at home it will be plugged in immediatelyand start charging [10] In this case additional load fromPHEV coincides with residential load peaks This wouldexacerbate local peak load condition forcing upgrading tobe done on the infrastructures Even though additional loadis still within the capacity of the infrastructure in particulartransformer this situation will decrease transformer lifetime

power quality issues like voltage variation and circuit lossesare also studied considering the daily load

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of PHEVon voltage and current harmonic distortion by performingharmonic analysis on a test system using the OpenDSS soft-ware Harmonic power flow was executed at each harmonicfrequency at the given harmonic spectrum associated withthe PHEV Due to the propagation of harmonic currentsthe harmonic voltages at all nodes in the system werethen captured In this study the baseband harmonics areconfined to well below the 15th harmonic of the fundamentalfrequency of 50Hz (850Hz) The reason for confinement ofthe harmonic voltages and currents is based on several factorsincluding the limited bandwidth of the distribution systemand also the limited harmonic content of typical distributionsystem loads

2 System Modeling

PHEV has been modeled as loads at separate individualphases to take into account the unbalanced three-phase loadsand also single phase loads are very common in distributionfeeders For other loads in the distribution system constantpower loads are considered

21 Line Model For each of the series elements a set ofequations based on the ABCD parameters have been usedThese parameters relate the sending end three-phase voltagesand currents to the receiving end three-phase voltages andcurrents for each harmonic which are given by

The ABCD parameters of all the elements except the loadtap changers (LTCs) are constant In case of LTCs theseparameters depend on the tap position during the time of

operation The following equations are used to represent theA and Dmatrices for each LTC

The typical line harmonic current content of PHEVobtained from [8] is shown in Table 1 Another harmoniccontent acquired from the Nissan Leaf vehicle real charger isshown in Table 2

3 Harmonic Power Flow

The harmonic study involves solving for the node voltages ateach harmonic using the network equation given by

[119868ℎ] = [119884ℎ] [119881ℎ] ℎ = 1 2 119873 (5)

where 119868ℎ is the vector of source currents 119884ℎ is the nodaladmittance matrix 119881ℎ is the vector of bus voltages and ℎ isthe harmonic order

The nonlinear load is modeled as a decoupled harmonicsource that injects harmonic currents into the system Thesecurrents are initialized to proper magnitudes and phaseangles based on the fundamental power flow solution andharmonic spectrum associated with them The harmoniccurrent magnitude is assumed to be a percentage of thefundamental load current The phase relationship between

the fundamental current and nonlinear element current usedto calculate the harmonic phase angle is given by

120579ℎ = 120579ℎspectrum + ℎ (1205791 minus 1205791spectrum) (6)

where ℎ is the harmonic number 120579ℎ is the phase angle ofcurrent injected at harmonic ℎ 120579ℎspectrum is the phase anglespecified in the harmonic spectrum at harmonic ℎ 1205791 is thefundamental current phase angle and 1205791spectrum is the phaseangle displacement at fundamental frequency given in thespectrum

For the harmonic power flow calculation the decoupledharmonic power flow in OpenDSS is used At harmonicfrequencies the distribution system is modeled in the pres-ence of passive elements and harmonic current sources Therelated admittance matrix is modified in terms of harmonicfrequency Due to harmonic current injections into thesystem the nonlinear loads are modeled as current sourcesModeling of the fundamental and the ℎth harmonic currentof nonlinear load connected at node n is given by thefollowing equations

(8)

For THDV and THD119894 the applicable limit to be considered inthe study is up to 15th harmonic the harmonic orders thatcome after the 15th harmonic order are negligible

Once the conventional power flow converges harmonicpower flow mode is initialized OpenDSS implements adecoupled harmonic power flow algorithm where it buildsthe linear admittance matrix at each of the frequenciesspecified in the program and uses a direct solution to solvefor voltages and currents throughout the system at all thespecified frequencies [8]

4 Methodology

It can be said that PHEV will draw constant energy through-out the charging process Considering this important piece ofinformation in studying the impact of PHEV on a distribu-tion system PHEV can be represented by a harmonic sourceload and that harmonic analysis can be performed using timeseries analysis OpenDSS and DSSimpc software are used toperform the power flow and time series harmonic analysis

41 Test System Description The IEEE37 test distributionsystem is modeled by using both OpenDSS and DSSimpcsoftware as shown in Figure 2 Both software types are used torun the system power flow and analyze the PHEV harmonicimpact and other power quality impact The studied systemvoltage is 48 kV and the residential network voltage is 220V

42 Daily Residential Load A typical residential power loadshape in Malaysia was used in this study as shown inFigure 3 The load profiles for a period of 24 hours with theinstantaneous power consumption given on an hourly basisare shown in the figure The off-peak time starts from 9 amto 6 pm where most of the people are not at home at thattime as depicted in the load shape and then a sudden increasetakes place after 6 pm and reaches a maximum at 8 pm andafter that gradually decreases at midnight Since Malaysia isconsidered as a hot country where consumers usually useair conditioners till late night hours high demand continuesuntil midnight

43 Vehicle Charging Time If there is no control in chargingtime most of PHEVwill be charged directly when arriving atthe location where the chargers are located Most likely whenPHEV arrives at home it will be plugged in immediatelyand start charging [10] In this case additional load fromPHEV coincides with residential load peaks This wouldexacerbate local peak load condition forcing upgrading tobe done on the infrastructures Even though additional loadis still within the capacity of the infrastructure in particulartransformer this situation will decrease transformer lifetime

For the practical distribution system the voltage totalharmonic distortion (THDV) forMV is limited to 3 at 33 kV4 at 11 kV and 5 at 04 kV and below as shown in Table 3

5 Results and Discussion

The effect of harmonic current spectrum of PHEV on apractical distribution system power quality considering theresidential daily load shape of Malaysia is investigated Thepenetration level of the PHEV is gradually increased inthe system from 30 to 80 during the on-peak hours ofresidential load The different power quality issues that havebeen studied are in terms of (i) voltage profile (ii) system lossand (iii) THD

injection of these vehicles would affect the performance of thedistribution system voltage and would definitely introduce anew peak load in the system

52 System Loss At different penetration levels the testeddistribution percentage losses are analyzed The total powerlosses collected from the line and transformer losses ofthe test system are considered as circuit losses as shownin Figure 6 The circuit power losses in percentages arecalculated over 24 hours with no PHEVpenetration as shownin Figure 7 From the figure it is noted that the circuitpower loss percentage ranges from 48 to 89 The PHEVpenetration is gradually increased with 30 integration ofPHEV in the systemand the circuit losses percentage iswithin55 to 10 as shown in Figure 8 By further increasing thePHEV penetration to 80 the power losses increase in therange of 78 to 118 as shown in Figure 9 Thus the totalcircuit power loss is directly affected by the increase of PHEVpenetration into the distribution system

The typical line harmonic current content of PHEVobtained from [8] is shown in Table 1 Another harmoniccontent acquired from the Nissan Leaf vehicle real charger isshown in Table 2

3 Harmonic Power Flow

The harmonic study involves solving for the node voltages ateach harmonic using the network equation given by

[119868ℎ] = [119884ℎ] [119881ℎ] ℎ = 1 2 119873 (5)

where 119868ℎ is the vector of source currents 119884ℎ is the nodaladmittance matrix 119881ℎ is the vector of bus voltages and ℎ isthe harmonic order

The nonlinear load is modeled as a decoupled harmonicsource that injects harmonic currents into the system Thesecurrents are initialized to proper magnitudes and phaseangles based on the fundamental power flow solution andharmonic spectrum associated with them The harmoniccurrent magnitude is assumed to be a percentage of thefundamental load current The phase relationship between

the fundamental current and nonlinear element current usedto calculate the harmonic phase angle is given by

120579ℎ = 120579ℎspectrum + ℎ (1205791 minus 1205791spectrum) (6)

where ℎ is the harmonic number 120579ℎ is the phase angle ofcurrent injected at harmonic ℎ 120579ℎspectrum is the phase anglespecified in the harmonic spectrum at harmonic ℎ 1205791 is thefundamental current phase angle and 1205791spectrum is the phaseangle displacement at fundamental frequency given in thespectrum

For the harmonic power flow calculation the decoupledharmonic power flow in OpenDSS is used At harmonicfrequencies the distribution system is modeled in the pres-ence of passive elements and harmonic current sources Therelated admittance matrix is modified in terms of harmonicfrequency Due to harmonic current injections into thesystem the nonlinear loads are modeled as current sourcesModeling of the fundamental and the ℎth harmonic currentof nonlinear load connected at node n is given by thefollowing equations

The voltage total harmonic distortion of voltage (THDV) andcurrent total harmonic distortion (THD119894) are defined as [10]

THDV = [[[(sum13ℎ=2

THD119894 = [[[(sum13ℎ=2

(8)

For THDV and THD119894 the applicable limit to be considered inthe study is up to 15th harmonic the harmonic orders thatcome after the 15th harmonic order are negligible

Once the conventional power flow converges harmonicpower flow mode is initialized OpenDSS implements adecoupled harmonic power flow algorithm where it buildsthe linear admittance matrix at each of the frequenciesspecified in the program and uses a direct solution to solvefor voltages and currents throughout the system at all thespecified frequencies [8]

4 Methodology

It can be said that PHEV will draw constant energy through-out the charging process Considering this important piece ofinformation in studying the impact of PHEV on a distribu-tion system PHEV can be represented by a harmonic sourceload and that harmonic analysis can be performed using timeseries analysis OpenDSS and DSSimpc software are used toperform the power flow and time series harmonic analysis

41 Test System Description The IEEE37 test distributionsystem is modeled by using both OpenDSS and DSSimpcsoftware as shown in Figure 2 Both software types are used torun the system power flow and analyze the PHEV harmonicimpact and other power quality impact The studied systemvoltage is 48 kV and the residential network voltage is 220V

42 Daily Residential Load A typical residential power loadshape in Malaysia was used in this study as shown inFigure 3 The load profiles for a period of 24 hours with theinstantaneous power consumption given on an hourly basisare shown in the figure The off-peak time starts from 9 amto 6 pm where most of the people are not at home at thattime as depicted in the load shape and then a sudden increasetakes place after 6 pm and reaches a maximum at 8 pm andafter that gradually decreases at midnight Since Malaysia isconsidered as a hot country where consumers usually useair conditioners till late night hours high demand continuesuntil midnight

43 Vehicle Charging Time If there is no control in chargingtime most of PHEVwill be charged directly when arriving atthe location where the chargers are located Most likely whenPHEV arrives at home it will be plugged in immediatelyand start charging [10] In this case additional load fromPHEV coincides with residential load peaks This wouldexacerbate local peak load condition forcing upgrading tobe done on the infrastructures Even though additional loadis still within the capacity of the infrastructure in particulartransformer this situation will decrease transformer lifetime

due to temperature-induced insulation aging In this studythe penetration time of the PHEV to be charged is during on-peak hours which start from 6 pm to 12 pm and graduallydecrease from 1 am to 8 am in the morning as shown inFigure 3

For the practical distribution system the voltage totalharmonic distortion (THDV) forMV is limited to 3 at 33 kV4 at 11 kV and 5 at 04 kV and below as shown in Table 3

The effect of harmonic current spectrum of PHEV on apractical distribution system power quality considering theresidential daily load shape of Malaysia is investigated Thepenetration level of the PHEV is gradually increased inthe system from 30 to 80 during the on-peak hours ofresidential load The different power quality issues that havebeen studied are in terms of (i) voltage profile (ii) system lossand (iii) THD

52 System Loss At different penetration levels the testeddistribution percentage losses are analyzed The total powerlosses collected from the line and transformer losses ofthe test system are considered as circuit losses as shownin Figure 6 The circuit power losses in percentages arecalculated over 24 hours with no PHEVpenetration as shownin Figure 7 From the figure it is noted that the circuitpower loss percentage ranges from 48 to 89 The PHEVpenetration is gradually increased with 30 integration ofPHEV in the systemand the circuit losses percentage iswithin55 to 10 as shown in Figure 8 By further increasing thePHEV penetration to 80 the power losses increase in therange of 78 to 118 as shown in Figure 9 Thus the totalcircuit power loss is directly affected by the increase of PHEVpenetration into the distribution system

Figure 11 Harmonics versus frequency

PHEV penetration level Considering the harmonic limitsspecified in the IEEE Harmonic Standard the effect of THD119894during off-peak time is acceptable when the level of PHEVpenetration is 50 However above 50 penetration levelthe THD119894 values exceed the IEEE harmonic limit Figure 13shows significant increase of THD119894 reaching 15 and 25when the PHEV penetrations are 50 and 80 respectivelyThe result shows that the maximum PHEV penetration tobe adopted is 30 in which above that value unacceptableharmonic distortions will be injected into the system

Figure 11 Harmonics versus frequency

PHEV penetration level Considering the harmonic limitsspecified in the IEEE Harmonic Standard the effect of THD119894during off-peak time is acceptable when the level of PHEVpenetration is 50 However above 50 penetration levelthe THD119894 values exceed the IEEE harmonic limit Figure 13shows significant increase of THD119894 reaching 15 and 25when the PHEV penetrations are 50 and 80 respectivelyThe result shows that the maximum PHEV penetration tobe adopted is 30 in which above that value unacceptableharmonic distortions will be injected into the system

The PHEV model required for harmonic power flow studieshas been developed considering a practical residential loadshape with on-peak and off-peak periods Using the PHEVmodel the impact of PHEV on currentvoltage harmonicshas been studied considering varying levels of penetrationOther power quality issues such as total circuit power losses

52 System Loss At different penetration levels the testeddistribution percentage losses are analyzed The total powerlosses collected from the line and transformer losses ofthe test system are considered as circuit losses as shownin Figure 6 The circuit power losses in percentages arecalculated over 24 hours with no PHEVpenetration as shownin Figure 7 From the figure it is noted that the circuitpower loss percentage ranges from 48 to 89 The PHEVpenetration is gradually increased with 30 integration ofPHEV in the systemand the circuit losses percentage iswithin55 to 10 as shown in Figure 8 By further increasing thePHEV penetration to 80 the power losses increase in therange of 78 to 118 as shown in Figure 9 Thus the totalcircuit power loss is directly affected by the increase of PHEVpenetration into the distribution system
