because of an increase in load. The current network is able to
withstand the connection of approximately 35% (55 pcs) of
charging stations (Fig.8). It is worth noting that in the
framework of the simulation, the stations connected at 3
different times, and had different durations, which slightly
stretches the load in time, thereby increasing the number of
simultaneously switched on stations [18].

an important role in this qualitative indicator, the more

however, the more stations are turned on at the same time, the
greater the currents and the stronger the voltage drop.
D. Loss of active power in the network
The last parameter for analyzing the operation of the
distribution system is the loss of active power. According to
European regulations, losses should not exceed 5% of the
transmitted power. The number of charging stations increases
the load and increases the power loss provocatively; however,

the network [21].
C. Coefficient of voltage unbalance Fig. 11. Graph of voltage unbalance factor when changing the number of
charging stations
Since the model is three-phase, it is possible to calculate the
asymmetry coefficient of the voltage in the network, which
appears even with a uniform distribution of charging stations
in 3 phases. Voltage asymmetry is a state of a three-phase
alternating current power supply system in which the rms
values of the main components of the interphase voltages or
the phase angles between the main components of the
interphase voltages are not equal [20].
The quality indicators of electric energy, characterizing the
voltage asymmetry in three-phase systems, are the voltage
asymmetry coefficient in the reverse sequence K2U and the
voltage asymmetry coefficient in the zero sequence K0U. The Fig. 12. Graph of voltage unbalance factor when changing the number of
