Impact of EVs on the Power Systems Design Criteria of EV Parks as Uniformly Distributed Load Areas

The growing demand for energy by end users linked to the diffusion of electric vehicles poses new challenges that must be addressed in order to guarantee an efficient and safe power supply network. A large diffusion of electric vehicles poses the need to have fast electric charging stations and parking lots for slow charging and topping up of the charge. The spread of electric vehicles is linked to a growing environmental sensitivity of people, who see electric mobility as a possible solution to greenhouse gas pollution. A large diffusion of electric vehicles poses the need to have fast electric charging stations and parking lots for slow charging and topping up of the charge. This paper proposes a solution to electrify a large vehicle park, consisting of numerous parking spaces, in order to rationalize its design. The EV parks will have an important impact on the energy demand of the building connected to it, but also on the development of microgrids.

I. INTRODUCTION

One of the objectives of international policies and strategies is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions produced by both individual and collective mobility, which are still very high today. This will only be possible by using energy sources other than the current ones (petrol and diesel). One of the solutions that are considered by many to be more advantageous is the extension of electric vehicles, which also has important advantages regarding air quality in urban centers [1].
