Conference Paper Description

The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation marked by increased distributed and renewable energy resources. This shift presents intricate challenges for Distribution System Operators (DSOs) tasked with maintaining stability in distribution systems. The surge in renewable energy adoption and the proliferation of Electric Vehicles (EVs) demand innovative solutions from DSOs. This article explores the challenges faced by DSOs, focusing on voltage fluctuations, reverse power flows, and power quality degradation. The integration of EVs poses additional challenges, including grid stability, voltage regulation, and power flow management. Legal policies play a crucial role in navigating the energy transition. The evolving legal landscape must adapt to changing energy systems, incorporate just transition principles, and provide certainty to investors. The article emphasizes the multifaceted nature of the energy transition and underscores the pivotal role of legal frameworks in ensuring equitable and environmentally conscious implementation. In the context of EV charging stations in urban areas propose various solutions to address grid impact challenges. These include mobile battery-integrated charging stations, DC fast-charging stations with local battery storage, utilization of home photovoltaic systems, strategic charging station placement, and intelligent control of converters. The article provides a comprehensive literature review on these solutions, highlighting their potential to optimize grid integration and mitigate the impact on existing infrastructure. The article concludes with a discussion on the theoretical models that play a crucial role in understanding and optimizing the impact of EV charging stations on urban power grids. These models, presented as a system of equations, facilitate the quantification of network load, assessment of energy availability, evaluation of efficiency, consideration of network stability, and optimization of deployment strategies.
