What is charging station layout?

Charging station layout is devised to provide power system flexibility. Charging demand is satisfied by setting charging power scheduling restrictions. Considerable carbon emissions can be reduced by dispatching charging power. Charging stations are deployed based on anticipated charging power demand.

How do charging stations work?

Charging stations are deployed based on anticipated charging power demand. Future charging power is simulated on an hourly basis. Under the ambitious commitment of reaching carbon neutrality by 2060, China promotes both the deployment of renewable energy and the development of electric vehicles.

Should a station layout and charging schedule be optimized?

Optimized station layout and charging schedule could coordinate the load curve, provide system flexibility and accommodate the variable renewables. However, previous work only focuses on maximizing the profit of station holders and vehicle owners, lacking the consideration of the broader impact on power system.

Are electric vehicle charging stations flexible?

Despite the substantial potential, the flexibility of slow charging power could be highly restricted by the layout of electric vehicle charging stations (CSs). Typically, electric vehicle owners follow relatively fixed movement patterns, such as commuting during weekdays or visiting shopping centers on weekends.

How does the layout of charging stations affect dispatch flexibility?

The layout of charging stations fundamentally shapes the dispatch flexibility of charging loads, As a result, a well-thought-out plan for the layout of charging stations would optimize this scheduling capacity to the fullest extent. Previous study focus on the profit of station holders and EV owners when designing the layout of charging stations.

Does charging station layout affect social behavior?

Zhou et al. conducted an extensive investigation for charging station layout planning from the perspective of entire social behavior. However, their analysis still overlooks the broader impact of the power system.
