Optimal EV Charging Control for Distribution System Loss Minimization

This paper proposes the methodology for optimal EV charging scheduling (OEVCS) using particle optimization (PSO). The goal of this work is to minimize the total energy losses of the distribution system. The proposed PSO-based OEVCS was tested by the IEEE 33-bus system with modifications to include the charging load of the EVs. Simulation results show that the proposed EV charging scheduling method can minimize the total daily system energy losses.
