The paper describes the impact of the load increase caused by the connection of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the power distribution network. The power distribution network model was created using the professional software tool DIgSILENT PowerFactory (DPF). Analyses were carried out for the cases of connecting a different number of EV charging stations to 0.4 kV busbars of distribution transformer stations (TS). The results of voltage conditions and loading of the most loaded distribution substations are shown. Increasing the load results in an increase in losses in the network, which is particularly significant today since the prices of electrical energy on the market are currently at historically high levels. Distribution System Operator (DSO) should pay attention to the problem of losses increase in the network, and in addition to classic solutions in strengthening the network, the DSO should also consider modern solutions such as the flexibility of new consumers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
