The increasing number of electric vehicles globally poses challenges for power distribution systems. The inclusion of electric vehicle supply equipment should be compatible with a changing energy system. A study conducted on a utility company in the U.S. West Coast analyzes the impact of future electric vehicles and tests simple mitigation methods to improve voltage profiles.
Globally, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to increase. This on-going trend poses challenges for power distribution systems. The inclusion of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) should be compatible with a changing energy system, whose structure is becoming increasingly distributed. The impact of future EVs should be analyzed and considered in the system planning and upgrades. In this study, impact analysis of future EVs is conducted for a utility company of U.S. West Coast. Real data of distribution feeders is converted into the GridLAB-D model for running power flow analysis. An estimation of the additional loading of EVs in 2050 is provided by the utility company. Simple mitigation methods are tested to improve voltage profiles.
