Impact of Electric Vehicle Charging on Residential Distribution Networks: an Irish Demonstration Initiative
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 charged by typical residential electricity customers. The data recorded during the trial details the charging patterns of the vehicles and the associated effects on the network. Stages 2 and 3 of the trial, which are currently ongoing, will involve examining basic control charging techniques and the effects of network reconfiguration respectively.

Improving the resilience of active distribution networks by optimal charging/discharging management of electric vehicles in parking lots
In the event of a severe incident with a high impact and low probability of occurrence, distribution networks may be separated from upstream networks and several feeders may be disconnected simultaneously within the distribution networks. In such circumstances, to maximize the resilience of the distribution networks and to prevent long-term global outages, they are reconfigured and islanded to ...
متن کاملDifferent 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...

متن کاملEnergy cost minimization in an electric vehicle solar charging station via dynamic programming
Environmental crisis and shortage of fossil fuels make Electric Vehicles (EVs) alternatives for conventional vehicles. With growing numbers of EVs, the coordinated charging is necessary to prevent problems such as large peaks and power losses for grid and to minimize charging costs of EVs for EV owners. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal charging schedule based on Dynamic Programming (DP...
