ABSTRACT
Emission pollution is one of the major issues in many growing cities. To overcome the problem and to prevent pollution, “Electric Vehicle (EV)” is one of the best solutions. Moreover, it has both economic and environmental benefits. To increase network reliability and quality, distribution companies contribute effective assistance. The major challenge met by this network is choosing an applicable connecting point for the bi-directional operation in a distribution network. Other issues the network faces are the performance and quality of the distribution network, cost reduction, and geographic location. The system’s stability is affected by connecting to the grid for charging EVs. Therefore, the optimal charging process is needed for the EVs. This paper proposes developing an optimal charging system without damaging the stability of the power system. This optimization is carried out by combining two algorithms and developing a new algorithm called “Final Position of Energy Valley and Pathfinder Algorithm (FP-EVPA).” This algorithm minimizes overall system operating costs. Also, it helps to reduce pollution emissions, grid losses, environmental pollution, nodal offset voltage, peak valley difference of load, charging, and operating costs. The optimized method maintains the quality of the power grid and system stability. It is also helpful for the users for minimal charging costs. The empirical findings of the model are better than 0.19%, 0.2%, 0.18%, and 0.07% of GEO, EOO, EVO, and PFA algorithms in terms of median. The developed FP-EVPA was compared with other traditional algorithms with different test functions to examine the effective achievement of the developed method.
