Growing Electric Vehicle penetration presents unwanted problems to grid reliability. For nearly every EV there is corresponding household charging. High penetration of Electric Vehicle Service Equipment can lead to over loading of assets and under voltage conditions. In order to understand the effects EV have on a distribution system, studies have to be done for EVSE to understand how the distribution system is affected. Using advanced Power Engineering Simulation Software is often the best way to model systems due to the credibility of their software modules. For this thesis, I developed a suite of distribution system analysis tools using CYME …

The increased penetration of Electric Vehicle (EV) will provide substantial benefits to the environment. However, each EV will present a significant additional load to electric power distribution infrastructure, especially to radial distribution feeders. The additional load may cause transformers to operate beyond their thermal limits, unacceptable voltage drops along distribution lines, and primary conductor overloads. It is now, more than ever, vital to understand the limitations of existing infrastructure in light of an accelerating push for greener alternatives with insight that stems from modeling, simulation, and proper analysis as the backbone to a well-informed response.
