Battery swapping station is a very important way of energy supply to EVs, and it is urgently needed to explore a coordinated control strategy to effectively smooth the load fluctuation in order to adopt the large-scale EVs. Considering bidirectional power flow between the station and power grid, this paper proposed a SFLA-based control strategy to smooth the load profile. Finally, compared simulations were performed according to the related data. Compared to particle swarm optimization (PSO) method, the presented SFLA-based strategy can effectively lower the peak-valley difference with the faster convergence rate and higher convergence precision. It is important for the swapping station that energy exchanging mode can supply energy for large-scale EVs with a smoother load profile than one-way charging mode.
