Modeling the Impact of PHEV Penetration on the Residential Electrical Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) have a better future in term of providing sustainable mobility due to their high efficiency and low emission levels. However, the global penetration of PHEVs can create negative impacts if their charging activities are not scheduled and controlled. This paper presents the impact of PHEVs charging on the residential network in Malaysia under various charging scenarios. The simulation results shows there will be a significant voltage drop in the cable and increment in load profile due to additional load. In order to avoid any unwanted circumtances, several PHEV charging profiles are analysed and some potential solutions are suggested including controlling and resizing of the cable.
