Optimal Sizing of Security Constrained Unit Commitment Problem Integrated with Renewable Energy Sources and PEVs

Optimal sizing of SCUCP with solar energy and PEVs is crucial for electric power system operation and planning. This paper presents a Chaotic Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm to minimize cost while optimizing the sizing of solar energy and PEV systems. The proposed framework integrates probabilistic forecasting models for solar power generation and realistic EV charging profiles based on travel patterns and infrastructure characteristics. It aims to find optimal sizes for Solar power plants and EV charging infrastructure, considering system demand, cost, emissions, and reliability. The Chaotic Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm efficiently solves the optimization problem by accounting for the complexities of SCUCP. The research evaluates the proposed approach using benchmark test systems of varying dimensions and power systems. The results enable informed decision-making by identifying optimal capacities for solar power plants and charging infrastructure, leading to improved system reliability, reduced emissions, and minimized costs.
