Relevant research has demonstrated that more potential benefits can be achieved when energy and information are transacted and exchanged locally among different energy consumers. With increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs), various models and solution strategies have been developed for collaboration between building and EV charging station to achieve greater energy efficiency. However, most of the existing research employs centralized decision model which is time consuming for large scale problems and cannot protect private information for each participator. To bridge these research gaps, a guided particle swarm optimizer based distributed decision approach is proposed to study the energy transaction between building and EV charging station. In the proposed decision approach, the marginal price signal of transactive energy is collected to guide iterative direction of particle’s velocity and position which can maximally protect private information of building and EV charging station. A study case based on a commercial building and a nearby charging station in Chicago area is designed for illustration. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed marginal price guided particle swarm optimizer is more stable and efficient comparing with canonical particle swarm optimizer and two state-of-the-art distributed decision algorithms.

As a powerful tool in optimization, particle swarm optimizers have been widely applied to many different optimization areas and drawn much attention. However, for large-scale optimization problems, the algorithms exhibit poor ability to pursue satisfactory results due to the lack of ability in diversity maintenance. In this paper, an adaptive multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer is proposed, which adaptively divides a swarm into several sub-swarms and a competition mechanism is employed to select exemplars. In this way, on the one hand, the diversity of exemplars increases, which helps the swarm preserve the exploitation ability. On the other hand, the number of sub-swarms adaptively changes from a large value to a small value, which helps the algorithm make a suitable balance between exploitation and exploration. By employing several peer algorithms, we conducted comparisons to validate the proposed algorithm on a large-scale optimization benchmark suite of CEC 2013. The experiments results demonstrate the proposed algorithm is effective and competitive to address large-scale optimization problems.

Diversity maintenance is crucial for particle swarm optimizer’s (PSO) performance. However, the update mechanism for particles in the conventional PSO is poor in the performance of diversity maintenance, which usually results in a premature convergence or a stagnation of exploration in the searching space. To help particle swarm optimization enhance the ability in diversity maintenance, many works have proposed to adjust the distances among particles. However, such operators will result in a situation where the diversity maintenance and fitness evaluation are conducted in the same distance-based space. Therefore, it also brings a new challenge in trade-off between convergence speed and diversity preserving. In this paper, a novel PSO is proposed that employs competitive strategy and entropy measurement to manage convergence operator and diversity maintenance respectively. The proposed algorithm was applied to the large-scale optimization benchmark suite on CEC 2013 and the results demonstrate the proposed algorithm is feasible and competitive to address large scale optimization problems.

A charging load allocation strategy for Electric Vehicles (EVs) considering charging mode is proposed in this paper in order to solve the challenge and opportunity of large-scale grid-connected charging under the background of booming EV industry in recent years. Based on the peak-to-valley Time-of-Use (TOU) price, this strategy studies the grid load, charging cost and charging station revenue variation of EVs connected to the grid in different charging modes. In addition, this paper proposes an additional charging mechanism for charging stations to encourage EV owners to participate in the peak and valley reduction of the grid through coordinated charging. According to the example analysis, under the same charging demand conditions, the larger EV charging power will have a greater impact on the grid than the conventional charging power. This article collects additional service fees for car owners who are not involved in the coordinated charging. When the response charging ratio is less, the more total service charges are charged, which can compensate for the decline in the sales revenue of the charging station during the valley period. While having good economy, it can also encourage the majority of car owners to participate in the coordinated charging from the perspective of charging cost.

Due to the existence of large numbers of local and global optima of super-high dimension complex functions, general Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) methods are slow speed on convergence and easy to be trapped in local optima. In this paper, an Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimizer(APSO) is proposed, which employ an adaptive inertia factor and dynamic changes strategy of search space and velocity in each cycle to plan large-scale space global search and refined local search as a whole according to the fitness change of swarm in optimization process of the functions, and to quicken convergence speed, avoid premature problem, economize computational expenses, and obtain global optimum. We test the proposed algorithm and compare it with other published methods on several super-high dimension complex functions, the experimental results demonstrate that this revised algorithm can rapidly converge at high quality solutions.

Electric Vehicles (EV) are the world’s future transport systems. With the rise in pollutions and its effects on the environment, there has been a large scale movetowards electrical vehicles. But the plug point availability for charging is the serious problem faced by the mostof Electric Vehicle consumers.
