Abstract
Electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) site selection occupies a prominent position in the development of the electric community to solve the hard problem of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging. However, two critical issues have not been solved by the existing research. Firstly, the scope of EVCS site selection only considers the whole city, which deviates from the actual situation. Secondly, the uncertainty and hesitation of decision information is not well expressed. To handle the above problems, this paper builds a comprehensive EVCS site selection decision framework for Residential Communities (EVCSRC) with triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs). First of all, the distinctive index system of EVCSRC site selection factors including economy, social, environment, planning and feature portrait of residential communities is established. Then, the TIFNs is utilized for decision makers (DMs) to express the indeterminate information. Furthermore, a fuzzy Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (Fuzzy-VIKOR) is approach is utilized to rank the alternative EVCSRC sites. Finally, a case of Beijing is studied to demonstrate the validity of the proposed site selection framework. The result shows the EVCSRC site located at Sijiqing community in Haidian district should be selected as the optimal site. This paper presents a feasible and easy-to-use decision-making framework for investors.
Highlights
With the rapid growth of energy consumption, energy shortages and energy-related environmental pollution have become increasingly severe problems that have attracted worldwide attention
In terms of the ranking methods for site selection, we review the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) basic methods as follows: analytic hierarchy process (AHP), analytic network process (ANP), TOPSIS, PROMETHEE, and Elimination et Choix Traduisant la Realité (ELECTRE)
Site selection is a crucial procedure in the construction of Electric vehicle charging station (EVCS)
Summary
With the rapid growth of energy consumption, energy shortages and energy-related environmental pollution have become increasingly severe problems that have attracted worldwide attention. EVs, which have energy saving, zero emissions and pollution free characteristics, have entered a period of rapid development. The Chinese government promotion and public response have accelerated the popularization and use of EVs, which is regarded as the focus of the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry, and as the key point of the implementation of long term energy strategy adjustment plans. China’s efforts have been encouraged by the importance attached by people to the increasingly serious issue of environmental pollution such as the threat of haze. Since the period of 12th Five Year Plan, ensuring the development of EVs has become an important measure to promote the development of urban low-carbon and energy-saving activities. The construction of charging facilities is regarded as an important guarantee for the promotion of EVs
