Abstract

With the strong support of national policies, wholesale grid connection of this new type of load electric vehicles, will inject harmonics into the distribution network. Based on this, this article examines the grid-connected harmonic characteristics of electric vehicle charging stations(EVCSs) and analyzes its corresponding suppression measures under various charging scenarios in urban EVCSs.

Firstly, based on the construction status of EVCSs in China and the different scale and capacity of EVCSs and geographical locations, more typical charging station categories are selected for analysis and research. To realize the simulation of these different charging scenarios, an EVCS model is built, and then the harmonic characteristics are simulated and analyzed after its connection to the city distribution network. By studying the harmonic characteristics under different charging scenarios, the impact of charging stations access on the power quality of the power grid after connection is analyzed, and effective measures for harmonic suppression are proposed, and suggestions for the configuration of compensation and treatment devices are given to provide a basis for the further building of charging facilities and the planning and operation of distribution grid.
