As the number of charging Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) increase, due to the limited power capacity of the distribution feeders and the sensitivity of the mid-way distribution transformers to the excessive load, it is crucial to control the amount of power through each specific distribution feeder to avoid system overloads that may lead to breakdowns. In this technical note we develop, analyze and evaluate charging algorithms for PEVs with feeder overload constraints in the distribution grid. The algorithms we propose jointly minimize the variance of the aggregate load and prevent overloading of the distribution feeders.
