Optimal Placement of EV Charging Stations in the Distribution Network to Avoid Power Losses

Power loss and voltage fluctuation are two of the biggest issues that can arise in distribution networks. More problems like these may arise as electric vehicles become more common on the road. However, these problems can often be avoided with the strategic placement of charging stations (CS) across the network. Artificial intelligence (AI) uses a hybrid of genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization to find the optimal configuration for charging stations (CSs) and the quantity of electric vehicles (EVs) to be serviced. The simulation results showed that the percentage of power loss that was decreased greatly improved when EVs were included in the testing system. The system's minimum bus voltage also benefits from these sorts of upgrades. Findings from the comparison analysis validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in lowering distribution system voltage fluctuations and power losses. The results were gathered by employing the IEEE-33 technique in Matlab.
