Abstract

As the number of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow and the demand for charging infrastructure is also increasing, how to improve the charging infrastructure has become a bottleneck restricting the development of EVs. In other words, reasonably planning the location and capacity of charging stations is important for development of the EV industry and the safe and stable operation of the power system. Considering the construction and maintenance of the charging station, the distribution network loss of the charging station, and the economic loss on the user side of the EV, this paper takes the node and capacity of charging station planning as control variables and the minimum cost of system comprehensive planning as objective function, and thus proposes a location and capacity planning model for the EV charging station. Based on the problems of low efficiency and insufficient global optimization ability of the current algorithm, the simulated annealing immune particle swarm optimization algorithm (SA-IPSO) is adopted in this paper. The simulated annealing algorithm is used in the global update of the particle swarm optimization (PSO), and the immune mechanism is introduced to participate in the iterative update of the particles, so as to improve the speed and efficiency of PSO. Voronoi diagram is used to divide service area of the charging station, and a joint solution process  of Voronoi diagram and SA-IPSO is proposed. By example analysis, the results show that the optimal solution corresponding to the optimisation method proposed in this paper has a low overall cost, while the average charging waiting time is only 1.8 min and the charging pile utilisation rate is 75.5%. The simulation comparison verifies that the improved algorithm improves the operational efficiency by 18.1% and basically does not fall into local convergence.
