The increasing presence of electric vehicles (EVs) requires a thorough understanding of their impact on distribution assets. EV chargers are characterized as nonlinear and multi-state loads due to their unique electrical consumption patterns. This paper presents a comprehensive study focused on modelling diverse EV charging units deployed in the industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. To conduct this analysis, a simulation environment utilizing the ETAP tool is employed, taking into account time variations. This approach facilitates the comprehension and anticipation of the effects that EV charging may impose on distribution networks, thereby supporting well-informed decision-making for the adaptation and enhancement of the electrical system. Detailed data on current and voltage from operational EV charging stations were collected to create consumption, current, voltage, and harmonic profiles for these charging units. Subsequently, general models or libraries applicable to Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers available in Colombia were developed. These models underwent rigorous validation and were subjected to a comprehensive analysis using the IEEE 13-bus test system. The research yielded valuable insights and conclusions regarding the integration of EV chargers into the current Colombian distribution systems, as well as the potential impact of adopting these devices on power quality issues within the distribution grid. This study contributes to the improved management of distribution assets, thereby facilitating the integration of sustainable electric mobility in the national electrical system.
