Abstract
Large SPV integration in LV grids is limited by a series of grid bottlenecks, such as voltage magnitude variations at the end of radial feeders, overloading the network components and voltage phase unbalance. This work analyzes how the introduction of EVs in the LV network can potentially solve these grid bottlenecks and increase the feeder PV hosting capacity, in an example set of the Italian case study. Different EV charging scenarios are proposed, based on the present electricity tariffs for Italian residential customers (Time-of-Day, Net Metering functionality) and future possible developments such as the adoption of voltage droop control functionality for the EV charger, the introduction of real time pricing in the distribution network and the use of EV’s Vehicle-to-Grid functionality.
