A survey of PEV impacts on electric utilities
Abstract
For the past few years, plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) technology development has gained immense popularity. Recent studies show that if PEVs displaced half of all vehicles on the road, they would require only an 8% increase in electricity generation. Results similar to this help encourage the continuing development of PEVs. Despite this small increase in generation, uncontrolled charging, especially during on-peak summer hours, could overload the current power grid. This paper provides a narrative literature survey of the development and impact of PEVs. Subjects cover PEV industry trends, charge and discharge scenarios, and impacts on distribution systems. Some concluding remarks are summarized.

In a future scenario with increased electrification, DSOs need to explore strategies that reduce congestion risk and ensure continuous and reliable operation while postponing expensive infrastructural reinforcements where possible.
“Therefore, in view of a future scenario with increased electrification, DSOs are facing the need for exploring strategies that allow to reduce congestion risk and ensure continuous and reliable operation [6], while postponing expensive infrastructural reinforcements where possible.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
