Research on Optimal Site Selection for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Published: 31 July 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Electric vehicles work as a novel energy transportation, have attracted significant attention. However, the rational planning of charging station locations is often overlooked by existing works. Specifically, current research predominantly focuses on cost and positioning while neglecting user behaviour, resulting in inefficient charging station placement and a waste of societal resources. In this paper, we examine public-access charging stations and address long-distance urban travel scenarios for electric vehicles. We consider user charging choices and investigates the optimal charging station location problem by integrating queue theory, fisk convex optimization, and stochastic user equilibrium theories. Building upon the conventional single-layer nonlinear model, the study establishes a two-tier planning model with an upper-level planner and a lower-level user choice framework. Nonlinear constraints are transformed into linear ones, and the objective function is mathematically converted into a convex function, effectively turning the problem into a convex optimization one. This significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent algorithmic solutions. Finally, a parameterized heuristic algorithm is applied to solve the developed model, with parameters configured. From our simulation results, we can observe that solver outputs result while continuously adjusting service rate parameters to meet the total budget constraints for charging station construction.
