Abstract:

This research examines the performance of a power system network with the inclusion of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) that use Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Renewable Energy Sources (RES) for the Dynamic Economic Load Dispatch (DELD) problem. The V2G support and RES integration make the conventional thermal plant into a more robust power system, solved by using a nature-inspired optimization called the Mother Optimization Algorithm (MOA). The simulation results show that the integrated system with MOA reduces fuel cost and power losses over 24 hours by stabilizing optimal power generation and renewable outputs. Due to the PEVs, the emissions are reduced in the environment in a substantial manner. This multi-objective problem provides sustainable and eco-friendly power system operation conditions with the integration of various energy sources.
