    With the rapid rise in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, the deployment of EV charging infrastructure—particularly fast-charging stations—has expanded significantly to meet growing energy demands. While fast charging offers the advantage of reduced charging time and improved user convenience, it imposes considerable stress on existing power distribution systems due to its high power and current requirements. This study investigated the impact of EV fast charging on power quality within Thailand’s distribution network, emphasizing compliance with accepted standards such as IEEE Std 519-2014. We developed a control-oriented EV-charging station model in power systems computer-aided design and electromagnetic transients, including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC), which integrates grid-side vector control with DC fast-charging (CC/CV) behavior. Active/reactive power setpoints were mapped onto (Formula presented.) current references via Park’s transformation and regulated by proportional integral (PI) controllers with sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) to command the voltage source converter (VSC) switches. The model enabled dynamic studies across battery state-of-charge and staggered charging schedules while monitoring voltage, current, and total harmonic distortion (THD) at both transformer sides, charger AC terminals, and DC adapters. Across all scenarios, the developed control achieved grid-current THDi of <5% and voltage THD of <1.5%, thereby meeting IEEE 519-2014 limits. These quantitative results show that the proposed, implementation-ready approach maintains acceptable power quality under diverse fast-charging patterns and provides actionable guidance for planning and scaling EV fast-charging infrastructure in Thailand’s urban networks.

    The primary purpose of this article is to study the impact of distributed generator (DG) integrated into the distribution system in terms of electrical line losses, reliability and interruption cost. The single- and multi-distributed generators (DG) under this study are connected to a 22 kV distribution system of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) that is a part of Thailand's distribution system. Geographic information systems data, including the lengths of the distribution line and the load locations that are key parameters of PEA, are simulated using digital simulation and electrical network calculation program (DIgSILENT). In addition, the capacity and location of DG installed into the distribution system are considered. The system average interruption frequency index (SAIFI), the system average interruption duration index (SAIDI) and the interruption cost are assessed as reliability indices by comparing the SAIFI, SAIDI, and interruption cost of the base case (without DG) and the cases of single- and multi-DGs connected to the distribution system. Moreover, the electrical line loss is considered in terms of active power line loss, which is also compared with the base case. The results can be summarized by focusing on the location of DG, the capacity of DG, the number of DG, the size of the load, and the distance to the load, which are factors capable of impacting the electrical line loss, SAIFI, SAIDI, and interruption cost.
