On-Line Optimal Charging Coordination of Plug-In Electric Vehicles in Smart Grid Environment

Abstract

This PhD research proposes a new objective function for optimal on-line PEV coordination. A new enhanced on-line coordinated charging using coordinated aggregated particle swarm particle optimization (OLCC-CAPSO) has been used to solve the PEV coordination objective objection and associated constraints. The objective function provides a chance for all PEVs to start charging as quickly as possible, while customer satisfaction function is being optimized subject to network criteria including voltage profiles, generator and distribution transformer ratings.
