This article proposes a hybrid optimization technique for optimal location and sizing of electric vehicle fast charging stations (EVFCSs) and renewable energy sources (RESs). The proposed hybrid optimization technique is the consolidation of recalling-enhanced recurrent neural network (RERNN) and Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA), hence it is called RERNN-m2MPA technique.Here, an enhanced MPA (m2MPA) is proposed. The major objective of this article is to energy loss reduction, voltage deviation of the power system network and minimization of the land cost with maximum weightage to serve maximum EV with minimum installation cost.
