Abstract: Photovoltaics (PVs) provide new opportunities for radial distribution systems (RDSs) that feed electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs). However, the accurate assessment of the combined technical impact is problematic because of the uncertainties of sources/loads. In previous research, we developed a technique to assess the impact of PV generation. This new study presents a general analytical technique (GAT) that evaluates the combined impact for an extended time frame. Specifically, the GAT effectively assesses the fulfilment of technical requirements for weekly RDS operating variables as specified in regulations. As our main objective is to improve the assessment accuracy of the EV and PV interaction in RDSs, the weekly assessment was extended to a one-year time period, during which it is possible to capture the total uncertainty. Also, correlation of input variables is handled.
