Abstract

The two-stage optimization bear smell search algorithm (BSSA) based on fuzzy theory is proposed for determining the optimal location and size of dispersed generation sources, shunt capacitors, and electrical charging stations in distribution systems. In BSSA, in the first stage, the fuzzy method is used for measuring optimal Distributed Generations (DGs) and Shunt Capacitors (SCs) to improve the power factor, re-generation, power losses, and voltage specifications of the distribution system. In the second stage, the distribution system is considered as integrated with DGs and SCs, and the fuzzy BSSA is used to identify the optimal locations for the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations and number of vehicles in these stations. Moreover, in the proposed model, a lithium-ion EV battery is used for charging and the characteristic curves are used for analyzing the generated load current. The bear smell search algorithm, which is inspired by bears’ hunting in nature, is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm for solving optimization problems. If the complexity of optimization problems increases, this algorithm suffers from low convergence speed, which increases computation time. To resolve this problem, we propose a new development for this algorithm. Moreover, we examine the effects of EV load increase and uncertainty in DGs and the load distribution system on the performance of the distribution system. The simulation results show that the advantages of BSSA are more than those of the other optimization methods. The simulation results in a 51-bus distribution network indicate that the proposed method has better performance based on numerical analyses.
