The acquisition of electric vehicles depends on socioeconomic factors and does not occur homogeneously in the different zones of urban areas for the early years of the electric vehicles penetrations. The concentration of ...

With the increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) in use, concern about their impact on the power quality of local distribution grids is also increasing. However, efficient control of state-of-the-art EVs and their ...

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Multiple Trips is an extension of the classical Vehicle Routing Problem in which each vehicle may perform several routes in the same planning period. In this paper, an adaptive memory ...

ABSTRACT The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a classical problem, and when the number of customers is very large, the task of finding the optimal solution can be extremely complex. It is still necessary to find an effective ...

This paper presents a novel optimization algorithm that consists of metaheuristic processes to solve the problem of the capillary distribution of goods in major urban areas taking into consideration the features encountered ...

The aim of this master’s dissertation is to evaluate the insertion of electric vehicles (EVs) in a Distribution System through its energy charging and discharging modes. Motivated by the expansion of the EVs market and the ...

Abstract: Electric vehicles are shifting the paradigm of electrical distribution networks operation. Thus, the operation of electrical distribution networks is becoming more complex and challenging for ensuring quality, ...
