This Thesis presents an approach to evaluating the impact of distributed electric vehicle charging on low voltage distribution grids. Besides forecast models for the dissemination of electric vehicles, cluster reference feeders, and a probabilistic simulation environment, new planning principles for German distribution system operators were developed. Furthermore, a field test was deployed in the Stuttgart metropolitan region to study the effects of new control and optimization approaches as well as impacts on the distribution grid by charging cycles. In summary, this thesis provides distribution utilities with a set of tools to prepare themselves for an electric mobility future.weiterlesen
