The optimal placement of smart parking lots can play a significant role in enhancing the resilience of the distribution network. The resilience of the distribution network refers to its ability to maintain functionality in the face of disruptions, which can arise from various factors including natural disasters, human errors, and cyberattacks. With rising fossil fuel prices and environmental concerns, the use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar has increased. Additionally, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), known as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems, has been developed. Given the widespread use of these vehicles anticipated in the near future, electric vehicle parking (EVP) is gaining attention as distributed generation (DG) resources and electric energy storage. The location of these parking facilities is important for electric distribution companies in terms of reducing losses and for municipalities regarding the urban area where the parking will be constructed.
Extensive efforts have been made in this area, leading to electric vehicles (EVs) playing a crucial role in improving environmental conditions and road transportation systems. Despite these advantages, their numbers have rapidly increased in recent years, and they are expected to be used even more in the coming years; thus, these electric vehicles will significantly impact the distribution network. The deployment of EVs not only affects power system performance but also imposes some essential interactions that did not previously exist. This consideration includes the stochastic and probabilistic nature related to the distance traveled by each electric vehicle during different hours and the charging of these units.
This thesis examines the optimal placement of smart parking lots to enhance the resilience of the distribution network. Through detailed simulations, multiple results are presented in this research, each highlighting different aspects of this topic, including predictions of increased electric vehicle usage, reduction of air pollution through clean energy utilization, investment costs for constructing smart parking lots, and the impact of smart parking on reducing energy transfer routes and most importantly, on the resilience of the distribution network. This thesis also addresses the challenges and opportunities for implementing these projects in countries with inadequate infrastructure and serves as an important reference for policymakers, urban planners, and investors to make more informed decisions regarding sustainable development and urban infrastructure enhancement. This research demonstrates that effective use of innovative technologies can play a key role in achieving distribution network resilience, sustainability goals, and reducing negative environmental impacts.
