Abstract
The charging limitation of electric vehicles (EVs) in old residential communities (ORCs) derived from insufficient electricity capacity and parking spaces significantly impacts residents' quality of life and impedes urban sustainability. Considering economic and social factors, ORCs are likely to persist worldwide for the foreseeable future. To tackle these challenges, this paper proposes the scheme of shared DC fast charging stations to address the EV charging issues in ORCs. Specific methods involve minimizing the charging station spaces and charging infrastructure investment, while optimizing the photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage capacity. Additionally, a coordinated charging strategy based on dynamic price is designed to guide users in choosing the initial charging time, enhancing EV charging infrastructure utilization and EV penetration. This work is predominantly driven by human needs, integrating surveys on human behavior related to charging station locations and charging times. This case study is based on a real-life ORC in Shenzhen, China. By utilizing the proposed dynamic-pricing coordinated charging strategy tailored to the station capacity, the maximum EV penetration rate is to be achieved with satisfying EV charging demand. Furthermore, the implementation of dynamic pricing effectively guides users to adjust charging behavior, achieving the peak-shaving and valley-filling performance of load curves.
