    Abstract

    In Denmark, household consumers are supplied with three phase with neutral cable. In addition, the distribution service operator cannot decide to which phase electrical appliance are connected. The technician who realizes the installation connects the loads according to his technical expertise. This may results in heavy imbalances. This paper uses a real Danish distribution system with household consumers, photovoltaic installation and electrical vehicles (EV). In this paper the possibility to use EVs’ charging spots in order to reduce grid’s imbalances will be investigated. Usually, charging stations are equipped with single-phase converters. According to the designed control strategy, the charging spot can select the phase to be used for the charge. The selection is done according to a phase voltage measurement.
