Abstract

This paper described the impact of the electrical vehicle (EV) charging on the grid harmonic. In view of the randomness of the EV charging process, the harmonic admittance matrix method and superposition method were used to build the single and multiple EVs charging simulation model. By using Matlab as a simulation tool, we analyzed harmonic currents of single and multiple EVs chargers. The results show that the harmonic ratio is beyond the scope of the national harmonic standard. Finally a parallel hybrid active filter (PHAPF) was introduced for governance of harmonic. The experimental results show that net side harmonic currents are significantly reduced by using the PHAPF and meet the national standard GB/Z17625.6-2003 regulations limit.
