Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a comparative analysis of electric vehicles (EV) charging devices impact on microgrid. Increased load variation may create a need for upgrades in grid infrastructure. For this purpose a set of typical load profiles of EV charging modes is studied and presented. A software implementation and a 24h case study of low voltage distribution network with EV charging devices is presented in order to illustrate the approach and the impacts of EV charging on the grid. Through this research the EV charging devices may become a flexible load that can help prevent load variations and load peaks on distributed network.
