Abstract: The use of electric vehicles and distributed generation increases the complexity of modern distribution network.  This is made more serious with more correlated input of random variables. In this study, we use the Nataf transformation, also called the third order polynomial normal transformations, to transform random variables from a correlated non-normal random vector space (CNNRVS) to a correlated standard normal random vector space (CSNRVS), and use the elementary transformation, also called the orthogonal transformation, to transform random variables from CSNRVS to independent standard normal random vector space (ISNRVS). These lead to the random independent input variables to execute the probabilistic load flow calculations using a 2m+1 point estimate method. Examples was made to simulate an IEEE-33 distribution network with wind power and electric vehicles. Comparison was made between four cases for the correlation among random input variables. The results showed that the Nataf transformation combined with elementary transformation gave the best accuracy.
