Abstract:
Electrification of transportation sector has becomes a global trend due
to environmental and socio-economical benefits of electric
vehicles(EV). From the power utilities point of view the adoption of EV
to the distribution network will bring additional challenges. A number
of system studies have been performed to identify potential impacts of
EV charging on power systems. However, impact of EV charging on power
system stability has not yet been fully investigated, even though it is
of major importance as many of the current power systems are running in
the vicinity of instability. Accurate load modeling is essential for
realistic stability studies. However, different kinds of load models
have been used in the literature to represent EV load behavior in power
system stability studies without proper modeling. Hence, EV load
modeling, evaluation and mitigation of potential stability impacts are
considered in this study.
