Electric vehicle charging station planning with dynamic prediction of elastic charging demand: a hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm

This paper is concerned with the electric vehicle (EV) charging station planning problem based on the dynamic charging demand. Considering the dynamic charging behavior of EV users, a dynamic prediction method of EV charging demand is proposed by analyzing EV users’ travel law via the trip chain approach. In addition, a multi-objective charging station planing problem is formulated to achieve three objectives: (1) maximize the captured charging demands; (2) minimize the total cost of electricity and the time consumed for charging; and (3) minimize the load variance of the power grid. To solve such a problem, a novel method is proposed by combining the hybrid particle swarm optimization (HPSO) algorithm with the entropy-based technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (ETOPSIS) method. Specifically, the HPSO algorithm is used to obtain the Pareto solutions, and the ETOPSIS method is employed to determine the optimal scheme. Based on the proposed method, the siting and sizing of the EV charging station can be planned in an optimal way. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified via the case study based on a test system composed of an IEEE 33-node distribution system and a 33-node traffic network system.
