Summary: This paper presents a control topology for low voltage distribution network to meet sudden peak load demand by designing a system. The system involves an electric vehicle (EV) farm with a charging system for voltage regulation and a vehicle-to-grid operation, transmitting power from EVs to the grid. The paper also focuses on modelling an EV system with dynamic interaction with the grid based on the state of charge (SOC) classifications. The integration of the EV farm with the grid is studied through a MATLAB/Simulink equivalent system model.

Summary: Electric vehicles are gaining acceptance due to their ability to reduce emissions, and this is reflected in sustainable mobility policies. To increase their use in the grid, it is necessary to expand charging infrastructure and find solutions to efficiently use existing infrastructure. This paper proposes using Solid-State Transformers (SST) between same-voltage level buses as an alternative to replacing or upgrading conventional transformers, aiming to reduce overloading and voltage violations in the distribution grid.
