Impact of dynamic and static fast inductive charging of electric vehicles on the distribution network

Fast inductive charging technologies allow the exchange of high power quantities (>20 kW) between an Electric Vehicle and the electrical grid in contactless way. This demand can significantly modify the load profile of a distribution network and affect its operation and planning. Thus, it is necessary to quantify the grid impact of a network of fast inductive chargers and define the maximum allowable deployment level which does not violate the technical constraints of the network. This paper introduces a methodology for grid impact analysis of fast inductive charging technologies into distribution networks. The proposed methodology is implemented in a realistic model of a Greek MV distribution feeder providing indicative qualitative and quantitative results.
