A Hybrid Binary Water Wheel Plant Algorithm and Physics Informed Neural Network for Optimal Pricing of Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations with Power Systems
摘要
This paper proposes a novel hybrid approach, called BWWPA-QPINN, which represents a new method for the optimal pricing of public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) embedded within Power Systems (PS). The Binary Water Wheel Plant Algorithm (BWWPA) optimizes, location wise, charging infrastructure to minimize power loss and voltage instability. The Quantum Physics-Informed Neural Network (QPINN) forecasts time varying prices for EVCS to optimize user costs, revenue for the operator and grid stability. Implemented on the MATLAB platform, the method is evaluated against existing optimization techniques including scenario-based stochastic optimization (SBSO), Soft Actor-Critic Reinforcement Learning Algorithm (SACRL), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), and Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA). The results demonstrate that BWWPA-QPINN achieves a minimum power loss of 10.5 kW, surpassing existing methods in computational efficiency, pricing accuracy 98%, and grid stability. The integration of BWWPA’s efficient spatial optimization with QPINN’s physics-informed learning constitutes a significant advancement in the design of scalable and grid-compliant EVCS pricing strategies.
