Abstract (EN): Charging performance of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) under various charging approaches brings new challenges for the distribution grid, such as feeder overloading and increment of loss. In this paper, the impact of charging PHEVs on the load profile is evaluated considering Demand Response (DR) programs in order to minimize the impact of charging PHEVs on load profile. In the proposed DR strategy, all consumers can determine and control their loads. Also, the proposed DR strategy can satisfy the function of reducing peak with regard to different PHEV penetration, while preserving consumer comfort levels. For performing DR programs, time of use and real time pricing models are used to evaluate the impacts of charging of PHEVs on distribution system operations. A 33-node test feeder has been studied to assess different penetration schemes of PHEVs including 11.3%, 35% and 45% PHEV penetration in residential loads. Moreover, uncertainties associated with PHEV charging performances are handled with Monte Carlo simulation. Results validate that the amount of peak loss, and Peak to Average Ratio (PAR) increase owing to PHEVs penetration growth. Also, the results illustrate that scheduling for the operation of PHEVs with DR program reduces the distribution losses and PAR.
