Electric vehicles in a smart grid: a comprehensive survey on optimal location of charging station

Abstract

The burning of fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gases motivates policymakers to think about the transition in their approach towards electric vehicles (EVs) from conventional ones. Transportation vehicles' electrification drives the attention of various researchers and scientists towards the emergence of charging stations (CSs). CS placement is a matter of great concern for large scale penetration of EVs. Old infrastructure causes several challenges in planning the ideal placement of the CS since EVs have not prevailed in recent years. Recently, a lot of studies have been performed on CS placement, which attracts the attention of researchers. Various approaches, objective functions, constraints and range of optimisation techniques are addressed by researchers for optimal placement of CS. This study provides the research outcomes in respect of the placement of CS over the past few years based on objective functions, solution methods, geographic conditions and demandside management.

A comprehensive review on electric vehicles smart charging: Solutions, strategies, technologies, and challenges

“…Another challenge in developing EVSC is establishing an accessible and reliable charging infrastructure for EV owners [217]. In this regard, optimizing the location of constructing the charging station is a challenge [218]. The respective location should be selected in such a way that the profit of the charging station owner is maximized.…”

Urban Traffic Flow Mapping of an Andean Capital: Quito, Ecuador

“…The siting or placement of charging stations is a crucial task since if it is not done properly, power system problems could occur such as voltage drops and fluctuations, and the acceptance of drivers. Thus, various works have proposed the siting of ET charging stations [29], [30]. For example, a decision support system for the siting of ET charging stations is studied at [31].…”

Multi‐objectivequantum atom search optimization algorithm for electric vehicle charging station planning

“…For such problems, attaining a near‐optimal solution in a short time with an acceptably accurate solution is highly important. Bilal et al 4 discussed different optimization objective functions and optimization techniques for solving CSLP. The most considered objective functions for CSLP are costs (station installation, operation, and EV traveling costs), power loss, and voltage stability.…”
