Architecture and performance analysis of a smart battery charging and swapping operation service network for electric vehicles in China

Abstract

In recent years, the Chinese government and State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) have paid great attention to the technical development and infrastructure construction for electric vehicles (EVs). This paper focuses on the mechanism of Smart Battery Charging and Swapping Operation Service Network for EVs including its overall architecture and operational mode. The overall architecture based on the internet of things is analyzed and clarified through terminal device, station management and management center layers. Then two different types of demonstration projects are presented which expound on the condition of EV’s infrastructure construction. Lastly, performance analysis of the charging behaviors of electric taxis in fast charging station based on the Queuing theory is proposed. The simulation results show that the service time and the number of generators has an influence on the average waiting time and the length of queue.
