Abstract: A successful distribution network can continue to operate despite the uncertainties at the charging station, with appropriate equipment retrofits and upgrades. However, these new investments in the grid can become complex in terms of time and space. In this paper, we propose a dynamic charge coordination (DCC) method based on the battery state of charge (SOC) of electric vehicles (EVs) in line with this purpose. The collective uncoordinated charging profiles of EVs charged at maximum power were investigated based on statistical data for distances of EVs and a real dataset for charging characteristics in the existing grid infrastructure. The proposed strategy was investigated using the modified Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS) performed by DIgSILENT Powerfactory simulation software for a total 50 EVs in 30 different models. Then, the load balancing situations were analyzed with the integration of the photovoltaic (PV) generation and battery energy storage system (BESS) into the bus bars where the EVs were fed into the grid. According to the simulation results, the proposed method dramatically reduces the effects on the grid compared to the uncoordinated charging method. Furthermore, the integration of PV and BESS system, load balancing for EVs was successfully achieved with the proposed approach.
