Abstract :
Due to the characteristics of electric power generation, transmission and distribution in the U.S., experts have identified local distribution as a likely part of the chain to be adversely affected by unregulated PEV (Plug-in Electric Vehicle) charging. This paper presents a study performed to assess the impact of PEV charging on a local residential distribution transformer.
