Cover Story: Electric vehicle charging is a relevant electric load with a rapid evolution for number, power rating, and distortion. Harmonic and supraharmonic limits are sometimes violated, including phenomena of mutual interference and with equipment nearby, such as home appliances. Emission patterns and grid responses are complex, seeing both variable operating conditions and mutual interactions, including the effect of input filters and control (e.g., for power factor correction). New charging facilities (e.g., in a parking area or a shopping mall) and connection to residential distribution require design margins and suitable upgrades to prevent interference and premature ageing of components. This can be achieved by extensive testing to drive suitable limits and indexes of performance applicable to modern grids. View this paper
