Abstract
EVs smart charging controls emerge as a possibility to overcome voltage quality issues caused by the increasing penetration of EVs in LV networks. However, solving voltage issues implies that EV chargers must deal with reactive power provision, inducing an extra AC ripple in the battery that influences the EV battery lifespan. Four decentralized smart charging controls have been analyzed, modelled and implemented together with a commercial EV charger model and EV battery model that includes both runtime and ageing behavior. Results show that solving voltage issues with EV smart charging controls can lead to a temperature increment in the battery that influences the EV battery lifespan. Nevertheless, this situation can be effectively overcome by minor modifications in the EV charger or in the EV battery cooling system.
