description Large-scale distributed renewable energy in the distribution network can result in reliability issues such as exceeding voltage limits and overloading power lines. Additionally, the rapid growth of electric vehicles has caused a surge in power demand in the distribution network. Therefore, how to guarantee the real-time stability of distribution network voltage under uncertain environment using available resources is an urgent problem to be solved. To this end, this paper proposes a cooperative voltage regulation of an on-load voltage regulator and electric vehicles for a distribution network considering multiple uncertainties. Firstly, an optimization model of the electric vehicle clusters considering the charging location and power is established, and the traditional on-load voltage regulator of distribution networks is also considered along with network operational constraints. Subsequently, a real-time cooperative voltage regulation strategy based on approximate dynamic programming is proposed, which employs segmented linear functions to process the value function to reduce the distribution network voltage offset and to ensure optimization accuracy. Numerical simulation results validate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed cooperative voltage regulation technology involving electric vehicles and on-load tap changer in the distribution network.
