Multiterminal electrical charging station for LV networks

The massive penetration of electric vehicles may create local problems on the LV distribution systems where the charging stations are located. Most of the solutions proposed in the specialized literature are based on centrilized algorithms which are applied to traditional LV distribution systems. This paper proposes a new charging station based on a multiterminal DC-link. This new infrastructure, based on a flexible link between the radial feeders, allows maximizing the use of the current assets and optimizing the network operation by an equalization of the involved MV/LV transformers.
