Competition over resource optimization algorithm for optimal allocating and sizing parking lots in radial distribution network

Recently, the penetration of the electric vehicles (EVs) in distribution networks gained a great attention. This paper proposes a new solution methodology incorporated recent metaheuristic approach of competition over resource (COR) for evaluating the optimal allocations and sizes of parking lots installed in radial distribution network. The main target is enhancing the network reliability with achieving minimum cost. COR is easily implemented...
