Optimal Placement of Electric Vehicle Charging Station and DG in a Distribution System for Loss Minimization

India's population growth has necessitated the development of alternative transportation systems, with electric vehicles being the most popular choice. However, the rapid rise in the penetration of electric load raises a number of additional problems, such as a deterioration in the voltage profile, a decrease in voltage stability, and an increase in active power loss. To solve this problem, Electric vehicle charging stations need to be strategically placed in the appropriate locations. The process of integrating an EVCS with the power grid will be more challenging. Distributed generation (DG) and EVCS must be installed in the most effective location to lessen an EV's impact on a distribution network. In order to increase the use of EVs, this study examined how charging stations and DG units are integrated. This paper suggests a bat optimization technique to analyze the appropriate EVCS and DG nodes in a balanced distribution system. The presented method was tested on the IEEE-69 and IEEE-33 bus systems.
