Abstract (EN): The aim of this paper is to avoid overloading a private customer distribution transformer (DT) in a Portuguese insular area through the means of solar PV microgeneration. Firstly, the consequence of the penetration of electric vehicles (EV) on dielectric oil deterioration of a DT in an industrial unit is estimated. The workplace has local PV generation, allowing the EVs to charge while their owners are working at three different working shifts during a day. Secondly, the model is tested and the resulting scenarios are analyzed. This paper shows that the solar PV microgeneration decreases the overloading of the DT due to a lower daily load profile. It also contributes to the reduction of the loss-of-life (LoL) of the DT.
