The proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) presents a significant challenge and opportunity for the energy sector. This study proposes a novel approach for optimizing EV charging within smart stations, considering its impact on the distribution network. Leveraging the meerkat optimization algorithm (MOA), we address the complex optimization problem of balancing EV charging demands with grid constraints. Navigating distribution grid energy management complexities, including renewable resources and dynamic demand, is challenging. We introduce a sophisticated optimization model tailored for grid operations, featuring meticulous formulations for energy management. The model optimizes battery usage, EV energy management, compensator utilization, and distributed generation dispatch. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate the approach's effectiveness in minimizing charging costs, reducing grid congestion, and enhancing overall system performance. The multiobjective function minimizes energy losses, power purchases, load curtailment, distributed generation, and battery/EV expenses over 24 h. Simulations validate a significant reduction in the distribution grid's operating cost. This research highlights the potential of advanced optimization techniques in smart charging infrastructure to facilitate widespread EV adoption while ensuring grid reliability and efficiency. Incorporating electric vehicles (EVs) into the system yields significant improvements across performance indicators compared to scenarios without EVs. Results indicate a 19% reduction in the objective function value, with a notable 74% decrease in energy purchase and a 60 % reduction in energy losses. Additionally, load shedding decreases by approximately 75 %, while voltage deviation decreases by around 44 %. Importantly, no PV or WD curtailment is observed with EV integration, showcasing its compatibility with renewable energy generation profiles and emphasizing its potential to enhance system effici

In this paper, we proposed a meerkat optimization algorithm(MOA) by simulating the behavior pattern of meerkats in nature. MOA is mainly inspired by the survival strategies of meerkat populations, whose sentinel mechanism controls meerkats to switch between different behavior patterns. Some mathematical properties of meerkat optimization algorithm are proved, and the advantages of MOA are verified with classical optimization test functions. MOA is applied to solve real-world engineering problems with constraints, which proves the effectiveness and superiority of MOA in solving such problems.

Within microgrids (MGs), the integration of renewable energy resources (RERs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), combined heat and power (CHP) systems, demand response (DR) initiatives, and energy storage solutions poses intricate scheduling challenges. Coordinating these diverse components is pivotal for optimizing MG performance. This study presents an innovative stochastic framework to streamline energy management in MGs, covering proton exchange membrane fuel cell-CHP (PEMFC-CHP) units, RERs, PHEVs, and various storage methods. To tackle uncertainties in PHEV and RER models, we employ the robust Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) technique. Challenges related to hydrogen storage strategies in PEMFC-CHP units are addressed through a customized mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) approach. The integration of intelligent charging protocols governing PHEV charging dynamics is emphasized. Our primary goal centers on maximizing market profits, serving as the foundation for our optimization endeavors. At the heart of our approach is the meerkat optimization algorithm (MOA), unraveling optimal MG operation amidst the intermittent nature of uncertain parameters. To amplify its exploratory capabilities and expedite global optima discovery, we enhance the MOA algorithm. The revised summary commences by outlining the overall goal and core algorithm, followed by a detailed explanation of optimization points for each MG component. Rigorous validation is executed using a conventional test system across diverse planning horizons. A comprehensive comparative analysis spanning varied scenarios establishes our proposed method as a benchmark against existing alternatives.
