OPTIMAL POWER ALLOCATION SCHEME FOR PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES USING SWARM INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES

Green technologies gain popularity to reduce the pollution and give higher penetration of renewable energy source in the transportation. This research induce that
the extensive involvement of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) requires ade quate charging allocation strategy using a combination of smart grid systems and smart charging infrastructures. It is also noticed that daytime charging station are necessary for daily usage of PHEVs due to the limited all-electric range. Most of the research in the past have been stated that only proper charging control and infrastructure management can assure the larger participation ofPHFVs.Therefore, researchers are trying to develop efficient control mechanism for charging infrastructure in order to facilitate
upcoming PHEVs penetration in highway.
