Abstract

The decarbonization of the power generation and transport sector encourage the analysis of connection of \acDER, such as \acEVs, to the electrical system, as well as the evaluation of their impact on smart cities. A better understanding of the negative impacts on the power systems will lead to propose mitigation measures and eventually revolutionize the way distributed generation works. This paper aims at modeling and evaluating the impact of EVs on a real distribution network. The energy system chosen operates at 60 Hz, 34,5 kV (Medium Voltage) and 0,208 kV (Low Voltage) and it is simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC. To reproduce realistic user consumption profiles, dynamic load profiles based on EV owners behaviour have been simulated. The \acV2G technology is modeled to mitigate the impacts of high penetration of EVs by supporting the network from undervoltage. The results show the importance of active management in modern power systems, especially considering the increase in DER penetration expected for the coming years. This work shows the benefits of implementing V2G technology while highlighting the challenges involved in a real case.
