Abstract
To improve the electric vehicle charging infrastructure and accelerate the development of electric vehicles, the optimization of electric vehicle charging stations’ location and size are studied in this paper. The annual comprehensive cost of society, including user cost and charging station cost, is regarded as the objective function. Weight coefficients are added to the function for increasing the proportion of user cost. An optimized mathematical model for electric vehicle charging stations based on users’ benefit is established. The improved Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) algorithm is adopted to solve this mathematical mode, and result which contain the optimal location and size of electric vehicle charging stations is obtained. Finally, an actual area is taken as the case study to optimize the location and size of electric vehicle charging stations by solving the mathematical model proposed in this paper with the improved QPSO algorithm. Rationality and validity of the model are well improved by the scientific reasonable result.
