Abstract
This paper describes a statistical approach developed for assessing the impacts resulting from EV presence in a given electricity network was developed. The algorithm, developed for this purpose, is based on a Monte Carlo method and can be seen as a planning tool that allows obtaining average values for several system indexes, like buses voltages, branches loading and energy losses. Additionally, it also allows identifying the most critical operation scenarios and the network components that are subjected to more demanding conditions and that might need to be upgraded. The example of a small grid from one of the Azores islands, Flores Island, was used for illustration purposes and two scenarios of EV integration were considered: 25% and 50% of the current light vehicles fleet replaced by EV.Keywords
