Abstract

The rise of electric vehicles significantly affects electricity distribution networks by increasing the demand for electricity, requiring infrastructure improvements and better grid management. Planning electricity demand in distribution networks operating under conditions of increased electric vehicle penetration presents a major technical and economic challenge. This new load is not distributed uniformly and may lead to high penetration of EVs in certain parts of a given distribution network, which can cause asset overload in such areas. At the core of the analysis is the assessment of the impact of electric vehicle penetration on electricity distribution networks. As an example, the distribution network of Tirana has been taken, representing about 35% of the total load. This paper addresses the projections of EV development in the market and statistical models for assessing the level of demand development for EV chargers and understanding the potential impacts of EVs on the distribution system. To determine the probability of the number of EVs per household according to the Albanian Government's objectives for 10% penetration by 2030, a binomial distribution method was used. The results highlight that electricity demand even exceeds the high-load growth scenario, which requires immediate measures regarding charging infrastructure standards and their management.
