Abstract: | It is expected that the market penetration of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the utility distribution systems of the USA will grow rapidly within the next decade. This would create demands that most power distribution infrastructures could not manage well without increasing the system capacity or mitigating their impacts by using smart grid solutions. This is a presentation from the 2010 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference & Exposition Program panel that discusses the impacts of EVs on power distribution system planning and asset management, and explains how utilities are preparing to manage these impacts under various scenarios of EV market penetration. Moreover, the panel exchanges experiences on modeling and analysis of EVs and the estimation of their effects on utility distribution grids.
