The addition of charging stations at the existing power network introduces a greater challenge on voltage stability and losses. The effect of the charging station can be addressed through the optimal integration of Distributed Generation (DG) units into the network. The improper placement of DG units can jeopardize the network stability. These issues are addressed by optimal placement of DG units and charging stations in the network to improve voltage, reduce transmission loss and maximize the charging station capacity. Here the objectives are considered as a multi-objective problem and solved using an enhanced Ant-lion optimization algorithm. The proposed method is implemented and tested over IEEE \u2013 33, 69 and 94 radial bus system in MATLAB R2020a version. In IEEE \u2013 33 bus system, the total loss reduction of 67.63% and the minimum voltage of 0.981 is attained with 2909.2\u200akW of DG and 1770.7\u200akW of charging station. The voltage stability index is improved to 0.92. The efficacy of the proposed method is evaluated through comparison with existing methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) with VRP method, Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). It is evident that the proposed method gives improved performance than other methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-212401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,12]],"date-time":"2022-04-12T13:19:14Z","timestamp":1649769554000},"page":"707-719","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Simultaneous
