Abstract

Abstract : Plug‐in electric vehicles (PEVs) can contribute to eliminating undesirable harmonics generated by nonlinear loads. In this study, a novel stochastic optimization approach for harmonic compensation is proposed which is capable of optimizing contrary objectives, including total harmonic distortion and harmonic inject current, simultaneously, while meeting the relevant constraints. This problem can be influenced by the uncertainty of PEVs which is reflected in the force outage rate concept. The Monte–Carlo simulation technique is implemented to consider the uncertainty associated with PEVs by generating plausible scenarios with the aim of converting the mentioned framework to the respective deterministic equivalents. Afterward, adaptive particularly tunable fuzzy chaotic particle swarm optimization (APTFCPSO) is utilized, based on the weighted sum method, and the acquired results are compared with those obtained by other implemented swarm intelligence‐based algorithms. Accordingly, at first, several benchmark optimization functions are considered to verify the performance of the APTFCPSO. Afterward, active power line conditioners (APLCs) and PEVs are separately employed for harmonics cancellation in the deterministic form. After adopting the scenario reduction technique, the optimization framework is solved for each remaining scenario by the mentioned procedure. The statistical analysis reveals that PEVs outperform APLCs to cancel harmonic orders defined in a 14‐node micro‐grid. Abstract : Herein, it is indicated that plug‐in electric vehicles successfully compensate harmonics when considering their uncertainties and outperform active power line conditioners. The results demonstrate that adaptive particularly tunable fuzzy chaotic particle swarm optimization has a remarkable superiority over other implemented methods for solving the benchmarks and the harmonic compensation problem. Furthermore, the scenario‐based stochastic optimization framework obtains reliable outcomes.
