A Hybrid Artificial Neural Network-based Hiking Optimization in Optimal EV Scheduling for Vehicle to Grid and Grid to Vehicle
摘要
The increasing deployment of electric vehicles in transportation is likely to experience rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs). This requires efficient energy management during grid load variation to address large-scale integration and scheduling challenges and ensures cost-effectiveness, grid stability and battery longevity.
MethodologyTo optimize the above challenges, the HOA is employed by adjusting the charging (G2V) and discharging (V2G) schedules. This paper presents a novel framework to improve dynamic scheduling accuracy and response. This framework integrated a hybrid model combining an artificial neural network (ANN) with the Hiking optimization algorithm (HOA). The proposed model is designed for optimal bidirectional power scheduling in the grid system assisted by photovoltaic (PV). The ANN provides the predictive foundation for HOA. The HOA utilizes and optimizes EV charging and discharging for improved load stability under various limitations.
Results and discussionThis hybrid ANN–HOA method demonstrates superior performance by leveraging learning analytics and adaptability for grid dynamics, achieving grid load balancing and reducing total operational costs from a baseline of ₹28,000 to ₹21,800. This provides a substantial 22% cost efficiency increase over conventional optimization approaches. Simulation results clearly represent that the proposed HOA achieves faster convergence speed, lower peak grid load and improved economic efficiency compared to Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). Moreover the proposed model is evaluated under varying grid load targets (650–750 kW) and initial EV SoC levels (40–90%). The proposed algorithm gives the result of faster convergence with the iteration of 8 and the fitness value of 0.122.
ConclusionThis ANN–HOA model emerges as a highly effective and reliable solution for real-time load optimization and cost-effective EV scheduling.
