Modeling of charging stations for impact analysis of electric vehicles in distribution networks

The energy transition requires innovative strategies to accommodate the growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) while harnessing the potential of distributed energy resources (DERs) for a greener future. To ensure the safe and efficient operation planning of distribution systems (DSs) and foster innovation in the electricity sector, it becomes crucial to conduct sophisticated computational analyses to study the effects of EV performance within the power grid. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to present the modeling of charging stations, as well as to study the impact of EV charging on a real distribution network. The results highlight the efficacy and versatility of the models developed.
