Social considerations for a sustainable future lead to market demands for electromobility. Hence, electrical power distribution operators are concerned about the real ongoing problem of the electrification of the transport sector. In this regard, the paper aims to investigate the large-scale integration of electric vehicles in a Swedish distribution network. To this end, the integration pattern is taken into consideration as appears in the literature for other countries and applies to the Swedish culture. Moreover, different charging power levels including smart charging techniques are examined for several percentages of electric vehicles penetration. Industrial simulation tools proven for their accuracy are used for the study. The results indicate that the grid can manage about 50% electric vehicles penetration at its current capacity. This percentage decreases when higher charging power levels apply, while the transformers appear overloaded in many cases. The investigation of alternatives to increase the grid’s capabilities reveal that smart techniques are comparable to the conventional re-dimension of the grid. At present, the increased integration of electric vehicles is manageable by implementing a combination of smart gird and upgrade investments in comparison to technically expensive alternatives based on grid digitalization and algorithms that need to be further confirmed for their reliability for power sharing and energy management.

This paper analyzes the load characteristics of electric vehicle under different charging modes including disordered charging, peak shifting charging and continuous charging. Taking a typical distribution network in Beijing as the research object, the calculation of steady state operation is carried out under the three kinds of charging modes after the integration of electric vehicles at different scales. The voltage deviation and load rate are analyzed to reveal the impact of charging modes on the capability in absorbing electric vehicles in Beijing grid.

This paper reviews the impact that can be presented by the immersion of generation sources and electric vehicles into the distribution network, with a technical, operational and commercial approach, given by the energy transactions between customer and operator. This requires a mathematical arrangement to identify the balance between congestion and the operating cost of a microgrid when the operation scheduling of the system a day ahead of horizon time it is required. Thus, this research is directed to the solution, using heuristic algorithms, since they allow the non-convex constraints of the proposed mathematical problem. The optimization algorithm proposed for the analysis is given by the Multi-Object Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) method, which provides a set of solutions that are known as Optimal Pareto. This algorithm is presented in an IEEE 141-bus system, which consists of a radial distribution network that considers 141 buses used by Matpower; this system was modified and included a series of renewable generation injections, systems that coordinate electric vehicles and battery storage, and the slack node was maintained and assumed to have (traditional generation). In the end it can be shown that the algorithm can provide solutions for network operation planning, test system robustness and verify some contingencies comparatively, always optimizing the balance between congestion and cost.
