Abstract
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) could be integrated into power networks to meet rising demand as well as provide mobile storage to help the electric grid operate more efficiently. The most efficient charging and discharging of PEVs are required for the effective utilization of this potential. PEVs with poor charging management may see a spike in peak demand, resulting in increased generation. To take advantage of off-peak charging benefits and avoid load shedding, PEVs charging and discharging must be intelligently scheduled. This paper offers a solution to optimal generation scheduling and the impact of vehicle to grid (V2G) operation in the presence of wind as a renewable energy source using the chaotic slime mould algorithm (CSMA). Further, the effectiveness of the proposed simulation results for a 10-unit system incorporating V2G operation has been compared with other well-known optimization techniques such as harmony search algorithm (HAS), chemical reaction optimization(CRO), genetic algorithm and artificial neural network(GA-ANN), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and cuckoo search (CS). The comparative analysis of the results reveals a significant cost savings in power generation.
