Data related to simulation of varying EV penetrations in LV grids

This dataset accompanies a publication, summarizing results of varying EV penetration in low voltage distribution grid networks. The networks were based on the literature and modelled using DigSilent Powerfactory, taking into account the sto-chastic variability of household electricity consumption, EV usage, and solar irradiance. The study incorporates two distinct usage scenarios—residential loads with varying EV penetrations without and with distributed grid tied generation of electricity. The Monte-Carlo simulation took into ac-count population demographics and showed that in urban networks, EV introduction could lead to higher cable loading percentages than allowed, and in rural networks, this could lead to volt-age drops beyond the allowed limits.

The methodology to read these files is as follows:
Network 1: File name order is "cigre_result(number of EVs)hour(hour of the day).csv".
Columns B to K are cable loading percentages in the network, columns AU to BD are voltages (kV) observed at each node in the network, Colum GT, GY and HD are the P (kW), Q (kVAR) and I (kA) observed at the primary windings of the network transformer.

Network 2: Filenames are "grid_houses_cars(number of EVs)hour(hour of the day).csv".
Columns B to AJ are cable loading percentages in the network, columns AU to CC are voltages (kV) observed at each node in the network, Colum HS, HX and IC are the P (kW), Q (kVAR) and I (kA) observed at the primary windings of the network transformer.

Network 3: Filenames are "rural_(number of EVs)solar(DG on: 1, DG off: 2)hour(hour of the day).csv"
Columns B to N are cable loading percentages in the network, columns Q to AC are voltages (kV) observed at each node in the network, Colum DB, DC and DD are the P (kW), Q (kVAR) and I (kA) observed at the primary winding of the network transformer.

Network 4: Filenames are "anchorage_(number of EVs at every node)solar(DG on: 1, DG off: 2)cars(hour of the day).csv"
Columns B to H are cable loading percentages in the network, columns Q to W are voltages (kV) observed at each node in the network, Colum CV, CW and CX are the P (kW), Q (kVAR) and I (kA) observed at the primary windings of the network transformer.
