An Improved Multicriteria Optimization Method for Solving the Electric Vehicles Planning Issue in Smart Grids via Green Energy Sources

Abstract

In the given research, a new multicriterion (multiobjective) optimization algorithm has been considered to solve the problem of electric vehicles (EV) scheduling in a smart network in view of sustainable energy sources based on the cost and pollution minimization. By considering the environmental and economic problems, the application of EVs as a proper charging/discharging scheduling model and green energy sources plays an important role in the power system. This study focuses on multicriteria scheduling through uncertainty factors via inexhaustible assets and EVs, presenting a battery storing framework and reducing both the operation costs and the amount of the framework's pollution while improving the procedures. For this purpose, a new optimization algorithm has been considered to address the mentioned problem taking into account some clean energy sources and emission. The proposed model is examined in smart grid environment based on real-life model by Demand Response Program (DRP) evaluation and the uncertainties in sustainable energies. The proposed optimization algorithm shows more desirable results in comparison with other models, while the efficiency of the suggested approach is studied and evaluated in two power systems, i.e., a 33-bus standard power system and a 94-bus Portugal network.

Optimal Sizing of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Considering Urban Traffic Flow for Smart Cities

“…In [28][29][30], the authors propose modeling mixed vehicular traffic where conventional and unconventional mobility participates; furthermore, it is suggested that multiple charging terminals be considered according to homologation according to the requirements needed by each user. Several variables such as limited capacity, path chance, trip time, flow conservation, charging time, spatio-temporal collaboration, terminal types, and traffic events are considered in [31][32][33], and the main aspects to obtain robust solutions that respond to the different situations where unconventional mobility practices exist are introduced. There are three types of terminals that have a direct relationship with EV charging time.…”

A Fuzzy-Based Product Life Cycle Prediction for Sustainable Development in the Electric Vehicle Industry

“…Differing to traditional vehicles, EVs have the advantages of zero-emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbon, which arise due to the heat generated from the combustion engines. To sustain the community and improve environmental awareness, EVs were invented with higher engine efficiency and minimizing pollutants during driving [9]. For typical EVs, the electricity that is generated from electricity plants and renewable energy sources is stored in EVs' batteries, fuel cells, and ultracapacitors.…”

Dynamic Model for the EV’s Charging Infrastructure Planning Through Finite Element Method

“…In this way the external information of one agent can affect internal operation of other agents. A multi objective optimization problem for scheduling electric vehicles in smart grids to minimize costs and pollution in a power system from Portugal is formulated in [5]. In the paper, the authors used a multi criteria Cuckoo search to schedule green energy sources and electric vehicles for minimizing the operation and pollution costs.…”
