Abstract
The excessive consumption of coal and petroleum products not only causes potential shortage of energy resources in the foreseeable future, but also creates various negative impacts on the environment, causing growing concerns on reducing the dependency on fossil fuels and diversifying the energy supply. Transportation and electricity production activities are dominant contributors for green-house gas emissions. Recent technology breakthroughs in electric vehicle and renewable generation technologies offer new opportunities to overcome the worldwide dilemma of economic growth and environment protection. The installation of on-road charging and swapping stations will introduce notable interplay between the transportation network and the power distribution network. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive introduction on the planning, operation, and equilibrium analysis of the interdependent urban transportation and power distribution networks. In particular, the mathematical formulations of the transportation network will be presented; based on which a series of fundamental problems on the interdependent transportation and power distribution infrastructures, including system operation, vulnerability assessment, system expansion planning, and network equilibrium, will be discussed.
