Final Year Project

Project Title

Effects of Electric Vehicle Penetration on a Distribution Grid in Pakistan

Description

The project is about analyzing the effects of EV penetration on a distribution network in Karachi. EVs are the foreseeable future and have a great deal of sustainable benefits attached with them, however, it is crucial to understand the cons that accompany them. With the infiltration of EVs at the very rate, there would be a significant surge in the electricity demand and though Pakistan has excess electricity but to no avail. Karachi's distribution network alone will be overburdened with excess electricity demand that the supply cannot meet in presence of a frail grid infrastructure. Our project includes designing a load flow model and analyzing Karachi's certain distribution network, gauging distribution grid and equipment load stress due to EVs, to finally suggest a sustainable demand management policy. Our analysis on Karachi's distribution model would then determine the effect on critical distribution components and for policy recommendation.
