Abstract

During the last few years, assessment and evaluation of power quality index due to large-scale penetration of electric vehicles in the system have gained significant attention. Voltage unbalance in the low voltage distribution network is amongst the main power quality issues caused by electric vehicles and therefore it has been quantified and analyzed in this paper. A CIGRE benchmark model of low voltage distribution network is taken as test network and simulations are performed on a sample urban power distribution network. An electric vehicle grid integration and its charging model is implemented in Simulink. Results for two charging strategies including uncontrolled charging and tariff based electric vehicle charging under different electric vehicle penetration levels and uneven charging scenarios have been obtained. The presented results show that an uneven EV charging scenario can cause significant voltage unbalance that goes beyond its allowed limit of 2 %.
