Abstract

The electric power industry is the main part of Science development, and today, with the advent of technology, the demand for electric power has been expanded. On the other hand, smart grids are developing heavily. One of the notable features of these networks is the presence of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The addition of these cars to the network has its own advantages and disadvantages. One of the most important issues in smart grids is network management and control of critical system parameters. In this paper the effect of these cars on the grid is investigated. These vehicles impose an increase in production capacity in the uncontrolled charge mode. They also have the ability to inject power into the network and can assist the grid at peak consumption time, leading to peak shaving in daily load curve. Our main goal is to provide a way to manage the charge and discharge of these vehicles using the agent based model, in order to control the voltage of the system buses.
