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 a new smart electric vehicle (EV) charging scheduler. Firstly, the consequence of the penetration of EVs on the dielectric oil deterioration of the DT of the industrial unit is estimated. The workplace allows the EVs to charge while their owners are working at three different working shifts during a day. Secondly, the EV charging scheduler is tested and the result scenarios are analyzed. This paper shows that the scheduling solution enables the industrial unit to avoid overloading the DT. It also allows to reduce the loss-of-life (LoL) of the DT, while recharging all EVs connected at the beginning of each working shift. © 2016 IEEE.
