Abstract

The advancement of new fixed charging stations (FCS) has facilitated electric vehicle (EV) charging and increased EV adoption. However, FCSs construction is constrained by budget, power grid facilities, site size, etc. Thus, many places are not suitable for building FCSs. Moreover, EV users still deal with high charging time and low charger availability challenges, especially in urban areas with huge populations and various types of charging demands. A solution to address these challenges is utilizing different EV charging technologies. This paper proposes mobile charging stations (MCS) as complementary charging technology to FCSs. A mixed-integer linear model is developed to solve the EV charging management (EVCM) problem. In addition to receiving the charging services at FCSs, the proposed optimization model lets MCSs serve EV users at their convenient times and locations. The results confirm that MCSs are more economical than FCSs for many users, considering the EV users’ time value. Moreover, MCSs can reduce the users’ cost and the stress on the power network during peak hours, considering their energy arbitrage capability.

移动充电站:电动汽车的互补充电技术

新型固定充电站(FCS)的发展促进了电动汽车(EV)的充电和电动汽车的普及。然而，fcs的建设受到预算、电网设施、场地规模等因素的制约。因此，很多地方不适合建设fcs。此外，电动汽车用户仍然面临充电时间长、充电器可用性低的挑战，特别是在人口众多、充电需求类型多样的城市地区。应对这些挑战的一个解决方案是利用不同的电动汽车充电技术。本文提出了移动充电站(MCS)作为fcs的补充充电技术。针对电动汽车充电管理问题，提出了一种混合整数线性模型。除了在电动汽车充电站接受充电服务外，所提出的优化模型还允许mcs在方便的时间和地点为电动汽车用户提供充电服务。结果证实，考虑到电动汽车用户的时间价值，对许多用户来说，MCSs比fcs更经济。此外，MCSs考虑到其能源套利能力，可以降低用户成本和高峰时段对电网的压力。
