The number of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) is increasing alongside electric vehicles (EVs). The unplanned rollout of EVCSs can lead to problems such as deterioration of the voltage profile, increased active power losses, and maximum load demand in distribution networks (DNs). Therefore, EVCSs should be placed in optimum locations on the DNs. The complexity of the problem requires efficiency and performance. In this paper, a novel modified Archimedes optimization algorithm (MAOA) is proposed for optimal placement of EVCSs in DNs. Five parameters of the AOA were modified using the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA). This placement is based on a combination of indexes: power loss, voltage deviation, and voltage stability index (VSI). Next, Newton-Raphson based load flow analysis is used to compute the minimum cost. MAOA, AOA and eight other optimization algorithms are compared. The results provide the most appropriate buses in the DN. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was tested on IEEE 33, 69, and 10-bus Hatay power network systems. In all test systems, the proposed MAOA provided the best results with consistently low standard deviation values. The results suggest that the proposed method is more effective in the integration of EVCSs into the DN. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
