Combined Optimal Planning and Operation of a Fast EV-Charging Station Integrated with Solar PV and ESS

Sufficient and convenient fast-charging facilities are crucial for the effective integration of electric vehicles. To construct enough fast vehicle-charging stations, station owners need to earn a reasonable profit. This paper proposed an optimization framework profit maximization, which determined combined planning operation charging considering vehicle arrival pattern, intermittent solar photovoltaic generation, energy storage system management. In horizon, finds optimal configuration grid-connected station. Besides, during it determines power scheduling in We formulated maximize expected Four types costs were considered period: investment cost, operational maintenance penalties. The penalties arose from customers’ dissatisfaction associated with waiting time queues rejection by simulation results showed daily various environments such as downtown, highway, public stations. Furthermore, was shown that different according environments. addition, effectiveness photovoltaic, system, queue management demonstrated terms solution through sensitivity analysis.
