Review of impact of electric vehicle charging station on the power grid

Abstract

As a measure to tackle the ever increasing energy demand as well as climate change 21 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">st</sup> century has witnessed the concept of e mobility and a prototype shift from conventional vehicles to Electric Vehicles (EVs). But the increasing number of EVs is a major threat to the power distribution network. The increase in the demand of power required for charging EVs may hamper the smooth performance of the power distribution network. In order to ensure secure and steady performance of the power distribution network it is essential to analyze the impact of EV charging stations on the power grid. In the past few years there is extensive research on the effect of EV charging stations on power distribution network. In this particular review study the literature bearing on the impact of EV charging stations on the power distribution network are considered.
