“…Based on this system, AC feeders can be converted to symmetric DC feeders by reusing existing transformers and power lines, forming a low-voltage microgrid and increasing the penetration of VE to 352%. Other authors explore cooperative charging of EVs to improve grid stability while increasing EV penetration [21,22]. Xu et al [23] apply another approach and predict the load demand of EVs in a rural area and optimize charging strategies to smooth demand fluctuations in the network and reduce peak-valley differences while maximizing the economic benefits of participants.…”

The electric vehicle deployment, due to the plans defined according to the energy transition objectives, produces new challenges for the electrical system. These challenges are associated with the charging infrastructure of these vehicles since they require a high current during specific periods, which can increase losses in the network, overload the lines, or cause voltage drops that affect the system’s stability. To solve these challenges, one of the possible solutions is the investment in new network infrastructure to face the increase in demand, such as the construction of new transformation centers or new medium and low-voltage lines. However, in the case of rural networks with a small number of users, these investments may not be viable. This article analyzes the possible impacts of connecting electric vehicles in a rural low-voltage network located in a Spanish municipality, as well as possible implementable solutions that do not require investment in new infrastructure. The number of connected vehicles has been calculated based on the national plan for 2030, and the network model used is based on actual data provided by the distribution company that operates in the area.
