Locating and Sizing Planning of Electric Vehicle Battery-swapping Stations Considering User Path Selection

Abstract

According to the characteristics of an electric vehicle's charging mode and considering the user path selection, a two-level programming optimization model of EV battery-swapping station locating, and sizing planning is established. The daily power exchange demand load is predicted, and the service area of the battery-swapping station is divided by the Voronoi diagram. The upper model optimizes the location, and the optimized number of battery-swapping stations is passed to the lower model to realize the constant volume optimization. Finally, the feasibility and rationality of the optimization model of EV battery-swapping station locating and sizing planning are verified by a demonstration planning area in Shanghai.
