Abstract:Although electric vehicles (EVs) offer a viable mean of commuting, their widespread penetration can have adverse effects on the current electrical distribution networks due to voltage drop and overloading of distribution transformers. In this work, a novel control scheme is proposed and implemented to support the voltage profile of a typical distribution network loaded by EVs. Electric spring (ES), a real/reactive power compensator, is driven by the proposed controller to provide voltage support under dynamic … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
