Distribution network planning in presence of fast charging stations for EV

The concept of electrical-mobility in opposition to the present oil-mobility is becoming even more attracting worldwide. Fast Charging Station (FCS) refers charging stations with nominal power equal or higher than 50 kW. Consequently, FCS requires high power and they must be connected to MV networks. For that reasons, it is crucial to analyze these situations and to model the impact of FCS on the electric network, in order to correctly plan the expansion of the MV system. In the paper, specific studies will be performed on a real MV distribution network of the A2A utility sited in the district of Brescia (Italy), in order to quantify the impact of the FCS and to identify the most suitable planning solutions needed to allow the effective integration of EV and boost electric mobility.
