Review of recent trends in charging infrastructure planning for electric vehicles

Abstract

1. This work presents the scenario of charging infrastructure development across selected countries. An overview and importance of home charging is also presented in the work. 2. This paper also provides a deep insight of the complex and dynamic nature of the optimal placement of charging station problem, thereby considering the demand, logistics, and supply aspects related to the problem. 3. An overview and comparative analysis of different modeling approaches of charging station placement problem adopted by researchers is provided. 4. The different objective functions and constraints of the charging station placement problem are also discussed along with a brief understanding of the optimization algorithms adopted for the solution of this placement problem.The paper starts with an attempt to provide scenario of the charging infrastructure planning across selected countries, importance of home charging, and then presents a general overview and brief classification of the problem. The modeling approaches and the objective functions presented in different charging system studies are discussed in the work. Finally, the work concludes by identifying the future direction of work possible in this paradigm.

Review on Optimal Siting of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

“…The EV infrastructure location problem has been widely discussed in literature [1,2,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Optimal siting of charging infrastructure is usually a minimization of the cost, maximizing coverage of charging stations or a combination of both [2].…”

A Framework for Analysis and Expansion of Public Charging Infrastructure under Fast Penetration of Electric Vehicles

“…The proposed strategy does not result validated with actual charging profile data. Similarly, Deb et al [19] describe different approaches adopted for the planning of charging infrastructures identifying optimal placement of charging stations, and charge scheduling in the charging stations as the major concerns for the large-scale deployment of EVs. Objective functions taking into account cost, transportation and grid perspectives have been evaluated in the work, and future trends for the expansion of the infrastructure have been highlighted.…”

The ElectricalVehicle Simulator for Charging Station in Mode 3 of IEC 61851-1 Standard

“…Additionally, drawing large amounts of current from the electrical grid will increase the utility charges, especially at the peak hours and, consequently, will increase the system cost. The impact of an EV charging station load on the electric grid systems is thoroughly discussed in Reference [10].…”
