<![CDATA[Electric vehicles (EVs) and their associated charging stations (CSs) are a promising avenue for greenhouse gas reduction and energy security. However, improper location and size of the EV charging station (CSs/EVs) negatively affect the power system. It results in some technical challenges such as increased real power-loss, decreased voltage stability and increased voltage deviation. This paper suggests optimum planning of CSs/EVs locations to conserve voltage, improve power-loss and reduce the effect of CSs/EVs in electrical distribution systems. The multi objective genetic algorithm method (MOGA) is utilized to solve the optimization problem and reduce the impact of the random location of CSs/EVs. The simulations are performed on IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus radial distribution systems (RDS). In addition, the optimal EV allocation is carried out with two fixed levels of loading from 100% to 150% of the candidate EV load. A comparison between the proposed MOGA technique and other optimization techniques is carried out. The results demonstrated the capability of the proposed technique for optimal placement of CSs/EVs in RDS. Moreover, it is providing an objective value to solve a complex multi-objective nonlinear optimization problem to reduce the total power-loss, improve the voltage profile and extend the voltage stability.]]>
