Influence of charging electric vehicles and on the quality of the distribution grids

Abstract

Electrical or hybrid powered vehicles become a serious alternative to conventional-driven vehicles also for private users. In electric vehicles, the batterie capacities reached an acceptable level and the requirements for a short charging time will rise continually. Actual electric vehicles have charging capacities up to 50 kW, taken from the urban grid. This paper deals with the impact of (high-power) charging electric vehicles on the urban distribution grid.
