Optimal sizing of electric vehicle charging station considering charging scheduling strategy

Abstract:
The widespread use of electric vehicles (EVs) strongly depends on the construction of EV charging stations (EVCSs) that should fulfill charging requests while considering various economic issues. This paper investigates the optimal sizing of an EVCS integrated with renewable energy generators, an energy storage system (ESS), and multiple types of chargers. The optimal sizing problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear program that takes seasonal variations of renewable energy generation into account, while aiming to minimize the equivalent annual total cost of the EVCS. Then, a novel charging scheduling strategy for EVs is developed by considering charger utilization efficiency, thereby reducing unnecessary expenses. Finally, different case studies are analyzed to verify the effectiveness and economic performance of the proposed strategy. The results indicate that incorporating EV charging scheduling into the optimal sizing problem can improve the economic performance of the EVCS.

Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...

Charging Conductors By Induction
Generally, conductors like metals do not allow any excess charge to be present on them. Any excess charge added to metals easily flows away, for example, when a metal is placed on the Earth. This process is called earthing.
However, conductors can be charged by a process called induction. For example, consider charging a...
