title = "Challenges to Rural Service Transformers on Increased Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure",
abstract = "As Electric Vehicle (EV) electric charging demand increases so to does the corresponding load requirements for charging the vehicles. The expansion of power distribution assets is therefore a critical issue to address on whether rural service transformers can handle the increase in EV load demand. Large-scale EV deployment is likely to cause problems in the localized distributions systems bringing challenges such as increased load demand, increased system losses, and additional voltage drops. This paper investigates how rural service transformer resiliency plays an important role in these challenges. EV charging can create new load peaks exceeding the service transformer's rated capacity, thereby accelerating equipment aging. EV charging can also both positively and negatively affect transformer aging. The core purpose of this paper is to investigate that change in service life of rural service transformers.",
