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

Electrical or hybrid powered vehicles become a serious alternative to conventional-driven vehicles also for private users.

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.
