Abstract
This chapter studies the distribution expansion problem considering the existence of a large number of chargers of electric vehicles connected to a low-voltage distribution network. The presence of electric vehicle chargers may change substantially the energy load at some locations and may require the reinforcement of the distribution system to preserve its adequate operation. We assume the role of a distribution system operator that desires to determine the distribution lines to reinforce to avoid voltage drops and congestion problems considering the additional power consumption of electric vehicle chargers. A number of illustrative examples are included to describe the performance of the formulation of the distribution expansion problem. Additionally, a case study based on a realistic distribution network is presented at the end of the chapter.
