Probabilistic Agent-Based Model of Electric Vehicle Charging Demand to Analyse the Impact on Distribution Networks

Probabilistic Agent-Based Model of Electric Vehicle Charging Demand to Analyse the Impact on Distribution Networks

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have seen significant growth in sales recently and it is not clear how power systems will support the charging of a great number of vehicles. This paper proposes a methodology which allows the aggregated EV charging demand to be determined. The methodology applied to obtain the model is based on an agent-based approach to calculate the EV charging demand in a certain are...

Probabilistic Impact Assessment of Electric Vehicle Charging on Residential Uk Lv Networks

The electricity demand from high penetrations of electric vehicles (EVs) in the UK may result in significant asset capacity issues (transformers and cables) and/or voltage drops in residential low voltage (LV) networks. This paper presents a probabilistic impact assessment of realistic EV charging on nine UK LV networks that are part of the ‘My Electric Avenue’ project. A deterministic impact a...

Different Electric Vehicle Charging Strategies to avoid Reducing the Insulation Oil Lifetime of Distribution Transformers

Abstract: The widespread presence of uncontrolled electric vehicles causes overloading of distribution network equipment. One of these equipments is distribution transformer, which should pay attention to overloading and reducing lifetime of this equipment due to charging of electric vehicles. First, strategies have been proposed to investigate the effect of electric vehicle penetration level a...

Impacts of Electric Vehicle Charging on Electric Power Distribution Systems

Impact of Electric Vehicle Charging on Residential Distribution Networks: an Irish Demonstration Initiative

This paper presents details of an electric vehicle impact assessment trial currently being undertaken in Dublin, Ireland. The trial involves three stages, each of which are described in this paper. The first stage investigated the potential impact from electric vehicle charging on the operating conditions of existing residential network. During the trial, electric vehicles were driven and charg...
