Abstract

The transportation sector is responsible for more than 30 % of the total energy consumption in most countries, making it necessary to promote and develop green and sustainable methods in order to eliminate the air pollution and the climate change caused by it. Electromobility is developing rapidly, with the aim of reducing the environmental footprint in transport, given that the freight transport sector is responsible for the biggest portion of the CO₂ emissions. However, it should be investigated whether the electric vehicles (EVs) are truly low-carbon, especially during their charging process. To this end, this paper studies the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) in the charging of freight vehicles. It analyzes the penetration of RES, such as solar energy and wind energy in charging systems, with the aim of (a) reducing the supply of electricity for charging from the grid, and (b) maximizing the use of RES. Moreover, this study formulates the electric vehicle charging problem for freight transport to minimize the power derived from the grid for charging uses. It also strives to minimize the charging costs and maximize the satisfaction related to delivery services. The developed model is a bi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear model, which is reformulated as a mixed-integer linear model. Experimental tests are conducted, exploring the trade off between the increase in charging from RES and the reduction in vehicle running costs.

货运中可再生能源车辆充电问题：模型与应用

在大多数国家，交通运输部门占总能源消耗的30% %以上，因此有必要促进和发展绿色和可持续的方法，以消除空气污染和由此引起的气候变化。考虑到货运部门是二氧化碳排放量最大的部门，电动交通正在迅速发展，其目的是减少运输中的环境足迹。然而，电动汽车（ev）是否真正的低碳，尤其是在充电过程中，还需要调查。为此，本文对可再生能源在货车收费中的整合进行了研究。分析太阳能、风能等可再生能源在充电系统中的渗透率，以期(a)减少电网充电电力供应，(b)最大化利用可再生能源。此外，本研究还制定了货运电动汽车充电问题，以最大限度地减少电网充电电力的使用。它还努力将收费成本降至最低，并最大限度地提高与配送服务相关的满意度。所建立的模型是一个双目标混合整数非线性模型，它被重新表述为一个混合整数线性模型。进行了实验测试，探索可再生能源充电增加与车辆运行成本降低之间的权衡。

期刊介绍： Applied Energy serves as a platform for sharing innovations, research, development, and demonstrations in energy conversion, conservation, and sustainable energy systems. The journal covers topics such as optimal energy resource use, environmental pollutant mitigation, and energy process analysis. It welcomes original papers, review articles, technical notes, and letters to the editor. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that bridge the gap between research, development, and implementation. The journal addresses a wide spectrum of topics, including fossil and renewable energy technologies, energy economics, and environmental impacts. Applied Energy also explores modeling and forecasting, conservation strategies, and the social and economic implications of energy policies, including climate change mitigation. It is complemented by the open-access journal Advances in Applied Energy.
