Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for calculating the charging power of electric vehicles, belonging to the field of electric vehicles, and involving energy infrastructure planning and operation, particularly a method for calculating the charging power of electric vehicles that takes into account both user travel patterns and the battery's own state. Background Technology
[0002] Electric vehicles (EVs) have experienced rapid development in recent years as an important means of alleviating the energy crisis and environmental pollution. The widespread adoption of EVs will generate substantial charging demand. However, the diverse travel characteristics and daily charging habits of EV users mean that the large-scale EV charging power will exhibit high randomness and dispersion in its spatiotemporal distribution, inevitably posing a more severe challenge to the safe and stable operation of the power distribution network. Accurately predicting the spatiotemporal distribution of EV charging power is not only fundamental to studying the impact of EVs on the power distribution network but also a necessary prerequisite for promoting the optimized planning of charging facilities and the orderly scheduling of EV charging and discharging power.
[0003] Numerous domestic and international scholars have conducted research on electric vehicle (EV) charging power prediction, primarily using statistical models to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics of EV charging load, simulate EV user travel patterns, and consider differences in EV user charging behavior under various influencing factors to predict EV charging power. However, most studies neglect the impact of battery state and user anxiety about potential range on the spatiotemporal distribution of charging power. As EVs age, the capacity of their power batteries gradually decreases, while internal resistance increases, resulting in less charge for the same battery state of charge (SOC). This insufficient charge may trigger range anxiety in EV users, leading them to maintain a higher SOC level. Therefore, it is necessary to consider battery state and user anxiety about potential range as key factors influencing EV users' charging decisions and propose more practical and reasonable methods for EV charging power prediction. Summary of the Invention

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the overall process of the method described in this invention. This invention is a method for calculating the charging power of electric vehicles that takes into account both user travel patterns and the battery's own state. Its innovation lies in including the following steps:
[0035] S1. Based on the travel characteristics of electric vehicle users, statistical analysis and synthesis of the spatiotemporal characteristic parameters in the travel chain are carried out using vehicle network database data, and a mathematical model is established to simulate user travel patterns.
[0036] In this invention, the spatiotemporal characteristic parameters of electric vehicle users in the travel chain based on the vehicle network database are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the dashed lines represent the driving process of the electric vehicle, the solid lines represent the stopping process, the black solid circles represent the start and end times of the electric vehicle's journey, and the hollow circles represent the arrival and departure times of the electric vehicle users' respective destinations. The spatiotemporal characteristic parameters of electric vehicle users include independent characteristic parameters: the number of trips per day M, and the first departure time from home T. s,1 Duration of a single trip (t) r,i Length of stay t p,i Single trip departure and destination D i And the distance d of a single trip on the way i And non-independent characteristic parameters: arrival time T a,i and the start time T of the next journey s,i+1 The non-independent parameter is calculated by the following formula:
[0037]
[0038] In this invention, the log-normal distribution probability density function is used to represent the number of daily trips M and the duration of a single trip t. r The statistical analysis and synthesis of the single trip distance d were conducted to establish a mathematical model; the normal distribution probability density function was used to analyze the time T of the first departure from home. s,1 Statistical analysis and synthesis were conducted, and a mathematical model was established; the origin and destination D of a single trip for an electric vehicle user were analyzed. i The types are divided into four categories: residential areas, office areas, business areas, and cultural and entertainment areas. A spatial state transition matrix is used to represent the departure and destination D of a single trip. i The transfer characteristics are modeled; the residence time t is used as the model. p Based on the characteristics of the origin and destination of a single trip, the system is divided into three categories: residential areas, office areas, and other areas for fitting. The Weibull distribution and the generalized extreme value distribution are used to conduct statistical analysis and synthesis of the dwell time in residential areas, office areas, and other areas, respectively, and a mathematical model is established. It is also assumed that the first trip origin of electric vehicle users is always a residential area.
[0039] In this invention, the number of daily trips M is statistically analyzed and synthesized using a log-normal distribution to establish a mathematical model, the probability density function of which is as follows:

[0048] In this invention, the length of stay is determined based on the departure and destination types of a single trip. During the statistical analysis and synthesis process to establish a mathematical model, different probability distribution functions can be selected for different departure and destination types of a single trip, including Weibull distribution and generalized extreme value distribution. The specific distribution function selection is determined based on the statistical analysis and synthesis of specific vehicle network database data and the results of establishing the mathematical model.
[0049] In this invention, it is assumed that there is a certain correlation between the current trip's departure and destination, the current location, and the trip's departure time. Considering a 15-minute time interval, a day is discretized into 96 sub-time periods. The user's movement between different regions within each sub-time period is statistically analyzed. Since there are four possible departure points and four possible destinations for a single trip, the spatial movement probability matrix established within sub-time period T has a size of 4×4, as shown in the following formula:
[0050]
[0051] In the formula, D represents the origin of a user's single trip within the Tth sub-period. i The departure and destination for a single trip is D. j The probability, and should satisfy Considering the wide coverage area in reality, and the possibility of users driving and moving within the same area, the diagonal elements in the matrix are not necessarily zero, i.e., p T,k,k ≠0;

[0058] In this invention, the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery at the start of low-power charging for electric vehicle users is considered to be... l It follows a normal distribution N(0.5,0.1).
[0059] S3. The battery status of electric vehicles and the user's anxiety about potential trips are taken as key factors influencing the charging power decision of electric vehicle users, and the charging power and charging duration are determined.
[0060] In this invention, the State of Battery (SOB) is used to characterize the ratio of the actual capacity to the rated capacity of the electric vehicle battery, following a uniform distribution U(0.8,1). The user's anxiety about potential travel distance is characterized by the user's anxiety coefficient η regarding mileage. The relationship between the SOB and the user's anxiety about potential travel distance satisfies the following equation:
[0061]
