Renewable Energy Optimization for Distributed EV Charging Stations

A new research study from Lovely Professional University has made significant discoveries in renewable energy optimization for distributed electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The study proposes an optimal location management system for charging stations with renewable energy, using a reward mechanism to support operators in managing uncertain demand and location. The researchers employed the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) for optimal operation and smart contracts for congestion and voltage stability. The experiment results demonstrated that the proposed model reduced the overproduction of variable renewable energy with proper charging station location management.
