This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely considered a sustainable substitution to conventional vehicles to mitigate fossil fuel dependence and reduce tail-pipe emissions. However, limited ranges, long charging times, and lack of charging infrastructure have hindered EV's market acceptance. This calls for more investments in building charging stations and advancing battery and charging technologies to obviate issues associated with EVs and increase their market share and improve sustainability. This study introduces modeling frameworks to optimize fast-charging infrastructure locations at the network level to address the challenges associated with EVs. Furthermore, it investigates the required charging investments for the current and future EV market shares, technology advancements, and seasonal demand variations. First, this study seeks an optimal configuration for plug-in electric vehicle charging infrastructure that supports their long-distance intercity trips at the network level. A mathematical optimization model is proposed which minimizes the total system cost and considers the range anxiety, multiple refueling, maximum capacity, charging delay, and detour time. This study considers the impacts of charging station locations on the traffic assignment problem with a mixed fleet of electric and conventional vehicles considering a user equilibrium framework. This study fills existing gaps in the literature by capturing realistic patterns of travel demand and considering flow-dependent charging delays at charging stations in intercity networks. Then, the study focuses on Michigan and its future needs to support the intercity trips of EVs across the state in two target years of 2020 and 2030, considering monthly traffic demand and battery performance variations, as well as different battery sizes and charger technologies, the main contributing factors in defining the infrastructure needs of EV users, particularly in states with adverse weather conditions. This study incorporates the developed intercity model to suggest the optimal locations of EV fast chargers to be implemented in Michigan.Next, this study introduces an integrated framework for urban fast-charging infrastructure to address the range anxiety issue in urban networks. Unlike intercity trips that start with fully charged batteries, urban trips might start with any state of charge because of home/work chargers' unavailability, being part of a trip chain, and forgetting to charge overnight. A mesoscopic simulation tool is incorporated to generate trip trajectories, and a state-of-the-art tool is developed to simulate charging behavior based on various trip attributes for these trajectories. The resulting temporal charging demand is the key element in finding the optimum charging infrastructure. The solution quality and significant superiority in the computational efficiency of the decomposition approach are confirmed in comparison with the implicit enumeration approach. Finally, this study generates forecasting models to estimate the number of chargers and charging stations to support the EV charging demand for urban areas. These models provide macro-level estimates of the required infrastructure investment in urban areas, which can be easily implemented by policy-makers and city planners. This study incorporates data obtained from applying a disaggregate optimization-based charger placement model, for multiple case studies to generate the required data to calibrate the macro-level models, in the state of Michigan.

Book Synopsis A Multi-objective Approach to Infrastructure Planning in the Early Stages of EV Introduction by : Andina Rosalya Brown
Download or read book A Multi-objective Approach to Infrastructure Planning in the Early Stages of EV Introduction written by Andina Rosalya Brown and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addresses the problem of locating fast charging stations for electric vehicles in the early stages of infrastructure implementation. The primary objectives are to contextualise the problem and to subsequently develop the existing methodology found in the literature. In particular, this study aims to design an optimal location model for the infrastructure of fast charging stations for electric vehicles, using the city of Barcelona as a case study. The most notable contribution is the implementation of a multi-objective model, applying the weighted sums methodology. Using this approach, multiple solutions can be obtained and used to observe the trade-offs between conflicting objectives, providing valuable information to decision makers. In addition, an alternative outlook is taken with regards to electric vehicle user behaviour; the concept of minimising deviations is introduced into the optimisation problem with an aim to better reflect driver behaviour, and account for all users in the model. The model is first formulated mathematically and then implemented using the GAMS.. The objective of the work is to apply modeling and optimization techniques to design a method for locating public EV charging facilities. This method must take into account the legal framework of the EV charging facilities as well as the EV users characteristics and necessities.

Book Synopsis Overcoming Barriers to Electric-vehicle Deployment by : National Research Council
Download or read book Overcoming Barriers to Electric-vehicle Deployment written by National Research Council and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electric vehicle offers many promises--increasing U.S. energy security by reducing petroleum dependence, contributing to climate-change initiatives by decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, stimulating long-term economic growth through the development of new technologies and industries, and improving public health by improving local air quality. There are, however, substantial technical, social, and economic barriers to widespread adoption of electric vehicles, including vehicle cost, small driving range, long charging times, and the need for a charging infrastructure. In addition, people are unfamiliar with electric vehicles, are uncertain about their costs and benefits, and have diverse needs that current electric vehicles might not meet. Although a person might derive some personal benefits from ownership, the costs of achieving the social benefits, such as reduced GHG emissions, are borne largely by the people who purchase the vehicles. Given the recognized barriers to electric-vehicle adoption, Congress asked the Department of Energy (DOE) to commission a study by the National Academies to address market barriers that are slowing the purchase of electric vehicles and hindering the deployment of supporting infrastructure. As a result of the request, the National Research Council (NRC)--a part of the National Academies--appointed the Committee on Overcoming Barriers to Electric-Vehicle Deployment. This committee documented their findings in two reports--a short interim report focused on near-term options, and a final comprehensive report. Overcoming Barriers to Electric-Vehicle Deployment fulfills the request for the short interim report that addresses specifically the following issues: infrastructure needs for electric vehicles, barriers to deploying the infrastructure, and possible roles of the federal government in overcoming the barriers. This report also includes an initial discussion of the pros and cons of the possible roles. This interim report does not address the committee's full statement of task and does not offer any recommendations because the committee is still in its early stages of data-gathering. The committee will continue to gather and review information and conduct analyses through late spring 2014 and will issue its final report in late summer 2014. Overcoming Barriers to Electric-Vehicle Deployment focuses on the light-duty vehicle sector in the United States and restricts its discussion of electric vehicles to plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), which include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The common feature of these vehicles is that their batteries are charged by being plugged into the electric grid. BEVs differ from PHEVs because they operate solely on electricity stored in a battery (that is, there is no other power source); PHEVs have internal combustion engines that can supplement the electric power train. Although this report considers PEVs generally, the committee recognizes that there are fundamental differences between PHEVs and BEVs.

Download or read book Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-04-14 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a century, almost all light-duty vehicles (LDVs) have been powered by internal combustion engines operating on petroleum fuels. Energy security concerns about petroleum imports and the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on global climate are driving interest in alternatives. Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels assesses the potential for reducing petroleum consumption and GHG emissions by 80 percent across the U.S. LDV fleet by 2050, relative to 2005. This report examines the current capability and estimated future performance and costs for each vehicle type and non-petroleum-based fuel technology as options that could significantly contribute to these goals. By analyzing scenarios that combine various fuel and vehicle pathways, the report also identifies barriers to implementation of these technologies and suggests policies to achieve the desired reductions. Several scenarios are promising, but strong, and effective policies such as research and development, subsidies, energy taxes, or regulations will be necessary to overcome barriers, such as cost and consumer choice.
Book Synopsis Integration of Charging Behavior Into Infrastructure Planning of Electric Vehicles by : Priyadarshan Patil
Download or read book Integration of Charging Behavior Into Infrastructure Planning of Electric Vehicles written by Priyadarshan Patil and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric vehicle (EV) market growth is critical to achieving sustainable development goals, governing aspirations to achieve full-scale electrification targets across the globe. Increasing EV sales have shifted the focus of researchers from EV adoption to new operational challenges such as the optimal deployment of charging stations and grid load management, which in turn also affects EV adoption. These challenges require an accurate characterization of EV user charging behavior, especially with evolving battery technology and driving ranges. This study critically reviews approaches and data sources used to elicit EV charging behavior and patterns from a demand-side perspective and investigates how supply-side studies on charging infrastructure deployment and management incorporate charging behavior. We observe a noticeable disconnect between both strands of the literature, as supply-side studies still rely on simplistic assumptions about charging behavior and focus on a handful of aspects in isolation. More specifically, several studies either consider personal EVs or ride-hailing services with only public fast-charging infrastructure while ignoring available home/work charging infrastructure. We recommend shifting from this silo approach to a system-level dynamic planning framework where future charging demand is forecasted by combining charging behavior models with the models to forecast travel demand and EV adoption, followed by an integration of demand information into the supply-side optimization. The framework can thus capture complex supply-demand interactions and inform the charging infrastructure planning policies, laying out a roadmap for emerging and mature EV markets.

Book Synopsis Fast Charging Station Planning for Electric Vehicles by : Caio dos Santos
Download or read book Fast Charging Station Planning for Electric Vehicles written by Caio dos Santos and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern power systems increasingly rely on distributed energy resources (DERs), which requires new planning practices. This paper proposes a strategy to solve the facility allocation problem for fast charging stations (FCSs) of electric vehicles (EVs). The mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model minimizes investment and total operation costs, considering the building of FCSs with photovoltaic (PV) systems over carports and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) as planning alternatives. The aspects of the set covering problem are adapted to evaluate candidates to accommodate FCSs. A preprocessing strategy is proposed to define an EV fleet and the required energy demand of each FCS. A multiobjective approach is used to obtain a compromise optimal solution for the MINLP model. The combined strategies lead to a reduced computational burden, allowing full-scale studies of electromobility infrastructure planning. Results from studies use a real-world Brazilian case to certify the benefits of the proposed strategy in optimizing the FCS allocation problem. The optimized operation demonstrates the reduction in the operation cost considering the renewable alternatives.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are growing in popularity in developed countries in an attempt to overcome the problems of pollution, depleting natural oil and fossil fuel reserves and rising petrol costs. In addition, automotive industries are facing increasing community pressure and governmental regulations to reduce emissions and adopt cleaner, more sustainable technologies such as PEVs. However, accepting this new technology depends primarily on the economic aspects for individuals and the development of adequate PEV technologies. The reliability and dependability of the new vehicles (PEVs) are considered the main public concerns due to range anxiety. The limited driving range of PEVs makes public charging a requirement for long-distance trips, and therefore, the availability of convenient and fast charging infrastructure is a crucial factor in bolstering the adoption of PEVs. The goal of the work presented in this thesis was to address the challenges associated with implementing electric vehicle fast charging stations (FCSs) in distribution system. Installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure without planning (free entry) can cause some complications that affect the FCS network performance negatively. First, the number of charging stations with the free entry can be less or more than the required charging facilities, which leads to either waste resources by overestimating the number of PEVs or disturb the drivers' convenience by underestimate the number of PEVs. In addition, it is likely that high traffic areas are selected to locate charging stations; accordingly, other areas could have a lack of charging facilities, which will have a negative impact on the ability of PEVs to travel in the whole transportation network. Moreover, concentrating charging stations in specific areas can increase both the risk of local overloads and the business competition from technical and economic perspectives respectively. Technically, electrical utilities require that the extra load of adopting PEV demand on the power system be managed. Utilities strive for the implementation of FCSs to follow existing electrical standards in order to maintain a reliable and robust electrical system. Economically, the low PEV penetration level at the early adoption stage makes high competition market less attractive for investors; however, regulated market can manage the distance between charging stations in order to enhance the potential profit of the market. As a means of facilitating the deployment of FCSs, this thesis presents a comprehensive planning model for implementing plug-in electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The plan consists of four main steps: estimating number of PEVs as well as the number of required charging facilities in the network; selecting the strategic points in transportation network to be FCS target locations; investigating the maximum capability of distribution system current structure to accommodate PEV loads; and developing an economical staging model for installing PEV charging stations. The development of the comprehensive planning begins with estimating the PEV market share. This objective is achieved using a forecasting model for PEV market sales that includes the parameters influencing PEV market sales. After estimating the PEV market size, a new charging station allocation approach is developed based on a Trip Success Ratio (TSR) to enhance PEV drivers' convenience. The proposed allocation approach improves PEV drivers' accessibility to charging stations by choosing target locations in transportation network that increase the possibility of completing PEVs trips successfully. This model takes into consideration variations in driving behaviors, battery capacities, States of Charge (SOC), and trip classes. The estimation of PEV penetration level and the target locations of charging stations obtained from the previous two steps are utilized to investigate the capability of existing distribution systems to serve PEV demand. The Optimal Power Flow (OPF) model is utilized to determine the maximum PEV penetration level that the existing electrical system can serve with minimum system enhancement, which makes it suitable for practical implementation even at the early adoption rates. After that, the determination of charging station size, number of chargers and charger installation time are addressed in order to meet the forecasted public PEV demand with the minimum associated cost. This part of the work led to the development of an optimization methodology for determining the optimal economical staging plan for installing FCSs. The proposed staging plan utilizes the forecasted PEV sales to produce the public PEV charging demand by considering the traffic flow in the transportation network, and the public PEV charging demand is distributed between the FCSs based on the traffic flow ratio considering distribution system margins of PEV penetration level. Then, the least-cost fast chargers that satisfy the quality of service requirements in terms of waiting and processing times are selected to match the public PEV demand. The proposed planning model is capable to provide an extensive economic assessment of FCS projects by including PEV demand, price markup, and different market structure models. The presented staging plan model is also capable to give investors the opportunity to make a proper trade-off between overall annual cost and the convenience of PEV charging, as well as the proper pricing for public charging services.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most existing studies on EV charging infrastructure planning take a central planner's perspective, by assuming that investment decision on charging facilities can be controlled by a single decision entity. In this paper, we establish modeling and computational methods to support business-driven EV charging infrastructure investment planning problem, where the infrastructure system is shaped by collective actions of multiple decision entities who do not necessarily coordinate with each other. A network-based multi-agent optimization modeling framework is developed to reflect individual investors and travelers' selfish behaviors and to simultaneously capture the interactions among all over a network structure. To overcome computational difficulty imposed by non-convexity of the problem, we rely on recent theoretical development on variational convergence of bivariate functions to design a solution algorithm with analysis on its convergence properties. Numerical experiments are implemented to study the performance of proposed method and compare it with central planning results reported in the literature.
