Capacity of low voltage grids for electric vehicles

In this paper a method is proposed to identify the grid capacity of low voltage grids concerning electric vehicles. The analysis is based on structural data and does not require detailed grid information. The methodology is exemplary applied to the city of Berlin. The paper discusses the impact of electric vehicles on the grid capacity. Charging curves as well as simultaneity factors are given. Further, the main boundary conditions restricting the grid capacity are regarded. Finally, some results are presented for Berlin.
