WILD HORSE OPTIMIZER ALGORITHM FOR DETERMINED OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Tóm tắt

The rapid development of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) has increased pressure on the power system, especially the distribution network (DN), and solutions to mitigate these negative impacts are always a priority. This study proposed a model for determining the optimal location of EVCS within DNs with the goal of minimizing installation costs and power losses, while maintaining node voltage stability. The Wild Horse Optimization (WHO) algorithm is applied to the problem, and a standard IEEE 34-node network is used for simulation and verification. MATLAB R2022a software used to retrieve results for two scenarios: with and without Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) optimization. Power losses reached 221.695 kW and 206.097 kW respectively, and the minimum node voltage reached 0.94758 pu, significantly better than previously published GWO results. These results demonstrate that the problem model is appropriate and applicable to calculating EVCS infrastructure development.
