Allocation of EV Fast Charging Station with V2G Facility in Distribution Network

Abstract

Electric vehicle is one of the best ways to avoid pollution from the transport sectors. Charging stations are required to charge the battery of the vehicle. To cope up with increased power demand during EV charging, the power loss of the distribution system increases and voltage drops. To keep the voltage profile healthy and the power loss as minimum as possible, placement of the charging station at the optimal node is necessary. In this article, allocation of electric vehicle charging stations in IEEE 33 node radial distribution network has been done. To provide the charging facility in different location of an area, the distribution network has been divided into three areas. One charging station has been placed in every three different areas. The problem has been set as an optimization problem and solved using Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA).
