Multiobjective Planning Strategy for the Placement of Electric-Vehicle Charging Stations Using Hybrid Optimization Algorithm

Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station placement problem is a facility location problem. The EV concerns about the total coverage in traffic network, system losses and node voltage deviations electric distribution system. To address loss reduction profile improvement, systems are normally equipped with shunt capacitors for reactive power compensation. In this paper mathematical model comprising three objective functions, maximization of minimization subjected to constraints proposed simultaneous stations capacitors. control variables optimization rating A hybrid algorithm (PSO-DS) combining particle swarm direct search method solution model. performance PSO-DS justified by comparing it other state-of-the-art algorithms solving standard benchmark functions. Simulations carried out on 33-bus 25-node network determine different planning strategy stations.
