Overview

Simulation study demonstrates reduced power losses and enhanced economic returns in radial distribution grids, indicating viable co-optimization of EV charging stations and shunt capacitors.

Key Points

To optimize the placement and capacity of electric vehicle charging stations and shunt capacitors in radial distribution systems, maximizing net present value while mitigating power losses and voltage instability.
Formulated an optimization framework using a Hybrid Gray Wolf–Cuckoo Optimization (HGCO) algorithm to combine global exploration and local exploitation.
Integrated bidirectional Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) power flow using an aggregated modeling approach.
Validated performance and reliability metrics on benchmark IEEE 33-bus and 118-bus radial distribution test systems.
Decreased active power losses by 34.45% in the IEEE 33-bus system and 31.08% in the IEEE 118-bus system.
Generated annual energy loss cost savings of $35,268 (33-bus) and $209,153.10 (118-bus), alongside expected interruption cost reductions of $14,029.80 and $48,699.30 per year.
Yielded a net annual profit of $27,049/year for the 33-bus system and $221,281/year for the 118-bus system.
