Active power management of grid-connected PV-PEV using a Hybrid GRFO-ITSA technique

Abstract

In this manuscript proposed a hybrid Garra Rufa Fish Optimization (GRFO) and Improved Tunicate Swarm Algorithm (ITSA) for improving the power quality of the integrated Photovoltaic (PV) and Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) in Smart Grid (SG) system. The GRFO-ITSA approach is hybrid wrapper of GRFO and ITSA. Commonly it is named as GRFO-ITSA approach. The grid-connected PV-PEV, active power management is performed by the proposed approach. The proposed GRFO approach is used to determine the individual harmonic components and to reduce the recompense currents applied to PVs via PEV converters. The load flow control is performed by ITSA approach, which controls the power among the PVs, and PEVs. Additionally, it satisfies the power demand, and voltage variation. The proposed approach is also to analyze the mutual properties of PVs as well as PEVs on the feeder and transmitting loads, voltage outlines, harmonic alterations of an urban electric power distribution system. Also, the performance of the GRFO-ITSA is implemented on MATLAB site as well as associated with several existing approaches. The GRFO-ITSA have improved the power quality and compensate the harmonics and reactive power of the system. The optimal outcome is obtained by GRFO-ITSA with less computation time.
