The method uses a linear optimization technique, which determines the electrical power that will be delivered to each EV considering as constraints the operating levels of the medium voltage distribution network. The proposed method was tested using the IEEE 34 bus distribution test system considering a level of penetration of EVs of 15%. The results show that, using the optimization process, it is possible to attend the demand of all considered PHEVs without violating any constraints. © 2013 IEEE.pordistribution systemselectric vehiclesLinear optimizationoptimal charging rateControlled environmentDistribution systemsElectric Vehicles (EVs)Electrical powerMedium-voltage distribution networksOperating levelsOptimal chargingElectric power distributionElectric vehiclesSmart power gridsOptimizationTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/ISGT-LA.2013.6554390WOS:000326589900021Acesso aberto2-s2.0-84882440202
