Title
Optimal Planning Of Pev Charging Station With Single Output Multiple Cables Charging Spots
Abstract
Coordinated charging can alter the profile of plug-in electric vehicle charging load and reduce the required amount of charging spots by encouraging customers to use charging spots at off-peak hours. Therefore, real-time coordinated charging should be considered at the planning stage. To enhance charging station's utilization and save corresponding investment costs by incorporating coordinated charging, a new charging spot model, namely single output multiple cables charging spot (SOMC spot), is designed in this paper. A two-stage stochastic programming model is developed for planning a public parking lot charging station equipped with SOMC spots. The first stage of the programming model is planning of SOMC spots and its objective is to obtain an optimal configuration of the charging station to minimize the station's equivalent annual costs, including investment and operation costs. The second stage of the programming model involves a probabilistic simulation procedure, in which coordinated charging is simulated, so that the influence of coordinated charging on the planning is considered. A case study of a residential parking lot charging station verifies the effectiveness of the proposed planning model. And the proposed coordinated charging for SOMC spots shows great potential in saving equivalent annual costs for providing charging services.
