Optimal Placement of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Using JAYA Algorithm

Abstract

In this twenty-first century, it has witnessed that humans highly depend on non-renewable fuel sources, especially on transportation and generation of power. This dependency leads to an increase in oil prices because of the depletion of fossil fuels. Rise in greenhouse gas emission which is due to the burning of fossil fuels leads to global warming. To tackle the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental things related to greenhouse gases is the prime reasons for archetype from common vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). Due to the booming number of EVs is a big menace to the distribution network. Charging of EV results in an increase in peak demand, as a result, it affects the continuous performance of the distribution sector. The electric charging station has to place in an appropriate location so that curtailment costs of installation and operating charging station (CS) and minimize power grid loss. JAYA algorithm is used to find an optimal solution of CS.
