Ant colony optimization for less power consumption and fast charging of battery in solar grid system

A solar grid system consisting of solar/grid/battery is analyzed for charging of battery and for the consumption of power by battery using ACO. Output of solar depends upon the atmospheric factors. In the condition, when the output of the solar PV array is greater than the load demand then the power is supplied by the solar PV array to charge battery. In this paper, the solar (PV) grid system is simulated in Matlab Simulink. In this paper Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based approach is proposed for the fast charging of the battery in the solar grid system and for the less consumption of power by battery.
