Voltage support from electric vehicles in distribution grid

The paper evaluates the voltage support functions from electric vehicles (EVs) on a typical Danish distribution grid with high EV penetration. In addition to the popular voltage control modes, such as voltage droop charging (low voltage level leads to low charging power) and reactive power support, the combination of these two methods is also examined for controlled EV charging. Simulation results show that the combination of the two individual supporting methods has the best performance in terms of voltage regulation as well as improving EV penetration level at weak distribution grids.
