Evaluating Electric Vehicle Charging Impacts on Distribution Grid Stability and Efficiency Through Adaptive Load Management Strategies

The high growth rates of the EV market create complex issues for distribution grids, forcing a detailed examination of grid responses at high rates of EV deployment. This paper seeks to elucidate the effects of EV charging on the distribution grid stability With this, the impact of the pod on voltage fluctuations, line load, and power loss is assessed using the IEEE 37-bus system. Load patterns of EV charging stations are consequently simulated successfully by a number of real and statistically created synthetic data sources, which truly represent averaged fluctuations in load. The study looks at several charging methods of the EV, such as time of use and smart charging, to determine their impact on the grids. Furthermore, the utilization of renewable energy sources for improving the aspects of grid reliability is explored. Regarding performance aspects related to the expansion of widespread EV charging and the efficiency of the applied measures for grid stabilization, the results of this study offer beneficial information.
