Abstract

The growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) presents a mounting challenge for power system engineers when it comes to integrating them into residential distribution systems. In this paper, a communication-free EV charge controller is proposed that relies on nodal voltage and real-time voltage-to-load sensitivity. The primary objectives of this controller are to minimize voltage violations in the system and to ensure fair charging among EVs, regardless of their charging locations. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated in a small 12-bus low-voltage (LV) residential system. Simulation results demonstrate the controller's effectiveness in reducing voltage violations and maintaining fairness among all the connected EVs.
