Cover Story: Germany is aiming for 15 million battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and 6 million electric heat pumps (HPs) by 2030 in order to achieve its 2030 climate protection targets. However, the power system must be able to transmit the expected new maximum load values. In this respect, this study presents a systematic evaluation of real, typical LV grid structures to provide information on grid compatibility and potential weaknesses that may arise due to the increasing load demands in the future, in order to assess whether each grid’s bottleneck reaches its acceptable limit. The results of this study provide a useful framework that distribution system operators can apply to anticipate the forthcoming challenges and identify when grid reinforcement will be required.
