This paper studies the impact of electric vehicles (EVs) in real distribution networks. In particular, the impact of the penetration of EVs and its flexibility on the distribution network is studied. In addition, the benefits of EV flexibility in solving the rising challenge of increasing DER penetration are analysed. If managed properly, EVs will have a positive impact in supporting the network and in increasing its sustainability, especially in the presence of large penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) such as photovoltaics (PVs).
