Abstract
Electric vehicle (EV) charging plays a crucial role in paving the way for zero-emission vehicle markets, which require massive installations of EV chargers. However, that causes degraded power quality of the power grid, which may lead to non-compliance issues. To prepare for massive installations, a comprehensive understanding of EV chargers’ potential power quality impacts is essential. Furthermore, mitigation measures for potential power quality issues should be prepared beforehand to prevent catastrophic power quality issues from happening. Therefore, the thesis aims to clarify the potential power quality issues caused by EV chargers, prepare modelling methods to understand the root cause of the power quality issues and develop mitigation measures to alleviate chargers’ power quality impacts.
