Abstract
Within this paper, the conventional method of charging electric vehicles on AC low-voltage distribution network is compared to a novel approach by means of a low-voltage DC backbone. For this purpose, the study uses an actual low-voltage distribution network where several scenarios regarding the penetration levels of electric vehicles are studied. Furthermore, the combination of electric vehicles with distributed energy resources is assessed. Results from the power flow analysis indicate that the application of a low-voltage DC backbone provides many benefits. Not only by reducing losses in the network, but also through avoiding phenomena such as voltage imbalance occurring in the AC distribution network.
