Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) increase rapidly nowadays because of their benefits such as preserving the environment and the public health. It’s expected that EVs will replace all the traditional vehicles that depend on fossil fuels. Depending on renewable energy, EVs are considered one of the cleanest means of transportation so they are called green transportation. EVs will achieve great development in the transportation section all over the world and specially in Egypt. Egypt will establish their charging infrastructure in the coming years. Studying the impacts of EVs direct current (DC) fast charging on electricity network is an important and essential need. This paper studies the impact of EVs charging stations (CSs) on Egyptian electricity network through practical simulation of it during charging mode. This paper includes simulation results of a DC fast CS which includes three fast DC chargers which have a total power of 120 kW. Not only the paper studies impact of charging mode but also the paper studies the impacts of discharging mode on the same electricity grid which is called vehicle to grid mode (V2G). Also, the paper suggests a solution to mitigate some of the negative effects of CSs on the electricity networks.
