With the rising concerns about climate change and technological developments, deployment of low carbon technologies (LCT) is gaining importance for reliable sustainable power system operation. To decarbonize heat transportation sectors, LCTs such as pumps (HP) electric vehicles (EV) are integrated into from voltage (LV) distribution network, where predominantly end-users connected. However, increasing penetration EVs HPs, together with distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems on demand side, can cause technical challenges in LV networks, under/over voltages at far end feeders. Therefore, hosting capacity a grid limited due to network constraints line ampacity, bus voltage, frequency. In this paper, voltage-constrained management approaches proposed improve real large-scale network. Moreover, PVs, battery energy storage (BESS), well their vehicle-to-grid (V2G) feature evaluated LCTs. The uncertain behavior these taken consideration more realistic analyses. addition, charging discharging interactions BESSs controlled by following consumption profiles economic point view.
