Abstract (EN): The large scale integration of electric vehicles and distributed energy resources on low voltage grids might cause serious problems related to, for instance, under/over voltages and line overloading. In order to cope with these problems, this paper presents a multi agent system (MAS) developed to dynamically schedule flexible loads on low voltage grids, preventing operation limit violations. Since different geographical positions of the loads in the grid will cause a different impact on the grid, load flow calculations are used to indicate operation limit violations. The application uses a decentralized algorithm which ensures similar chances of being scheduled to the customer loads using a priority scheme. A case study is carried out on a 70-bus feeder where electric vehicle loads are scheduled to prevent under voltages, showing the applicability of the approach.
