Abstract:

This paper determines the locations and scales of charging stations for electric vehicles by the layout planning of charging stations. The electric vehicles are classified into two categories, namely the group vehicles and the social vehicles. The site selection and scale determination method for the two categories varies and are treated differently. The charging stations for group vehicles, represented by public buses, are installed in the bus parking lots; The location of charging stations for social vehicles is based on urban land development and land use attributes. The forecasting electric vehicles owned in a specific traffic zone is the product of the total number of urban electric vehicles and the intensity of land development. On the basis of multi-objective optimization method, two models are developed for the site selection and optimization of social electric vehicles. A case study under the background of the 2014 Youth Olympic Game in Nanjing China is carried out to show the site section procedure. Finally, the site selection plan is evaluated by means of multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The results show that two charging stations should be set up and the locations selected for charging station installation are reasonable.
