Abstract

The journey towards transportation electrification started with electric vehicles and has attracted more and more attention on a global scale in recent years. EVs are seen as a substantial, effective, and urgent solution for transportation electrification. In this paper, we investigate the operation requirements for integrating charger stations into the distribution grid in Vietnam. We also propose a simple evaluation method for assessing the feasibility of integrating planned unidirectional EV chargers into the distribution grid. The assessment method is applied to two main distribution feeders in Danang, Vietnam, where the new charger stations are already planned to be deployed in 2025 and 2030. The results showed that with addition of pre-planned EV chargers, both feeders still meet operation requirements in 2025 and 2030. However, the feeder with voltage indices close to the limit needs to be considered for an upgrade in configuration.
