| Summary: | The spread of electric vehicles (EV) contributes substantial stress to the present overloaded utility grid which creates new chaos for the distribution network. To relieve the grid from congestion, this paper deeply focused on the control and operation of a charging station for a PV/Battery powered workplace charging facility. This control was tested by simulating the fast charging station when connected to specified EVs and under variant solar irradiance conditions, parity states and seasonal weather. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm and experimental results are validated through simulation in Simulink/Matlab. The results showed that the electric station operated smoothly and seamlessly, which confirms the feasibility of using this supervisory strategy. The optimum cost is calculated using heuristic algorithms in compliance with the meta-heuristic barebones Harris hawk algorithm. In order to long run of charging station the sizing components of the EV station is done by meta-heuristic barebones Harris hawk optimization with profit of USD 0.0083/kWh and it is also validated by swarm based memetic grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) and canonical particle swarm optimization (PSO).
