Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation of EV Smart Charging in a Distribution Grid

With the development of sustainable energy technology and the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, the popularity of electric vehicles is increasing. However, As the number of electric vehicles increases, so does the pressure on the grid due to charging. If a large number of electric vehicles are charged at the same time, the grid...

Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation of Controlled and Uncontrolled EV Charging in a Distribution Grid

The charging of a rapidly increasing number of EVs places significant strain on electrical distribution grids. Controlled (’smart’) charging of EVs offers a solution to this problem by shifting the charging of vehicles to the most optimal moments in time. Smart charging is not a completely new research topic; it has a high Technology Readiness...

Linear state estimation method for distribution grids

The recent trend for monitoring and control of the distribution networks requires methods capable to calculate the network’s operating conditions. One way to monitor the distribution network is by state estimation. Although previously this method was established only for the transmission networks, its use has begun to also make sense for the...
