Power Quality Indicators of Electric Vehicles in Distribution Grid

Abstract

With the visible mitigation of the energy crisis, the distribution network is being challenged by the explosive growth of different EVs, and their infrastructures. The integration of such systems may bring forward multiple challenges to the electrical grid due to G2V and V2G capabilities. One of the main challenges is power quality (PQ) issues caused by EV charging infrastructures (EVCIs). The diversity and emergence of new technologies of EVCIs have made remarkable types of bilateral interactions together with reliability and PQ phenomena. The essential aim of this paper is to classify and explain these PQ indices in detail, which gives a comprehensive perspective to engineers and researchers working on potential PQ problems.
