Abstract
Electric Vehicle (EV) charging is one of the largest growing electricity demand sectors that is being added into the electric grid. The bulk electric system, which will carry the majority of the current load, is a specific infrastructure which is regularly monitored for load changes. In contrast, distribution systems do not have the same supervision and therefore can be treated as a black box. The distribution system is important for stability of the grid and in order to predict how much EVs will impact the main grid, a simulator for a distribution line was created to determine substation transformer loading and line loading. In addition, four charging cases for the EVs were created to investigate different charging scenarios. Finally, load mitigation techniques were investigated to offer potential solutions for the overloading of aged infrastructure.
