Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power grids, and in particular relates to a charging station planning method that takes into account a "road-grid-station" network and loads. Background Art
[0002] While the booming electric vehicle market plays a key role in clean transportation and the transition to low-carbon energy, it also presents a series of challenges in charging station operations, their rational layout and planning, and the optimized operation of power systems. Unguided and blind construction of electric vehicle charging stations will not only prevent them from fully realizing their charging service capabilities and unleashing their economic and social benefits, but may also seriously impact the safe and stable operation of regional power grids.
[0003] Some literature has introduced the concept of load balancing into charging station planning research. Most of these approaches begin with a preliminary site selection for the charging station, then use methods such as Voronoi diagrams and clustering algorithms to divide the service area of the charging station and determine the charging demand for each charging station. However, this approach presents two problems:
[0004] 1) For example, the literature "A Correction Planning Method for Expressway Fast Charging Stations Considering Distribution Network Flow Constraints" and the literature "A Planning Method for Urban Centralized Charging Stations" achieve the division of the charging station service area by introducing methods such as Voronoi diagrams or clustering algorithms. However, methods such as Voronoi diagrams use geometric calculations to cluster nodes close to the center point into point sets to generate polygonal networks, where the distance from the node to the center point is mostly Euclidean distance. In fact, due to the increasing complexity and diversity of urban traffic and road network structures, specific point-to-point distances are difficult to measure using traditional Euclidean distance methods, and the impact of traffic flow on user time cannot be measured by simply calculating the shortest path. Therefore, it is difficult for the above methods to significantly reduce the time it takes for electric vehicles to reach charging stations by optimizing the reasonable layout of charging stations.
[0005] 2) Due to the spatiotemporal distribution of EV charging demand and the uneven distribution of EVs at each transportation node, the aforementioned literature inevitably results in uneven load distribution within each area after dividing the service area using methods such as Voronoi diagrams. This not only leads to persistent queues in charging hotspots but also increases voltage volatility and network loss costs in the regional power grid, significantly impacting the economic and stable operation of the regional power grid.
[0006] In light of the above situation, rational planning and layout of charging facilities can provide an important guarantee for meeting the growing charging demand of electric vehicles. Influenced by user travel behavior, rational planning of charging infrastructure based on the load distribution of electric vehicles is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0362] The immune genetic algorithm is an intelligent algorithm that combines the immune theory of biology with the genetic algorithm. While retaining the advantages of fast convergence and strong robustness of the traditional genetic algorithm, the algorithm extracts a "vaccine" to effectively suppress the degradation phenomenon that occurs during the iteration process, thereby constructing a more adaptable and selective information defense system. While ensuring the continuous optimization and iteration of the population, it reduces the occurrence of invalid search events in the genetic algorithm and ensures the validity of the iterative information. The specific algorithm process is as follows Figure 2 shown.

Considering that the revenue calculation of the charging station is to maximize the revenue, the goal of the electric vehicle user is to minimize the time spent on charging. In order to facilitate the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different planning schemes, this patent defines a global variable operator F 1,max and F 2,min , used to normalize the multi-objective values. After normalizing F1 and F2, the global fitness can be calculated using formula (40):

[0372] Step 5: Determine whether the antibody population meets the conditions. Determine whether the antibody concentration of the antibody population is equal to 1. If so, obtain the planning result and terminate the loop; if not, continue with steps 6-8;
[0373] Step 6: Select an operation. Select the best individuals from the exchanged individual antibodies and use the "roulette wheel" method to select individuals from the antibody population to generate a new population.
[0374] Step 7: Crossover operation: Two antibody individuals are randomly selected from the antibody population according to a certain exchange probability to generate new individuals.
[0375] Step 8: Select antibody individuals according to a certain probability and randomly change the value of a gene in the string structure data for the selected individuals to generate new individuals. Return to step 3 for a new round of iteration.

[0483] As shown in Table 2, when planning six charging stations, the total revenue of the charging stations in Methods 2 and 3 reaches its maximum, and the overall fitness also reaches its minimum at this time. As the number of charging stations increases, the investment and operating costs of the charging stations also increase, which in turn increases the total revenue and overall fitness of the charging stations. This patent uses the example of a power grid company guiding the planning of six charging stations to conduct a simulation comparison analysis. The simulation comparison results of Methods 1, 2, and 3 are shown in Table 4.

[0485]
[0486] As shown in Table 3, the patent method selects the traffic nodes 10, 24, 19, 6, 3 and 21 to plan and build charging stations, and the corresponding number of charging piles is 43, 50, 50, 29, 50 and 50 respectively. Figure 4 The road network-grid coupling node connection comparison table is shown in Table 4.
[0487] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the "road-electricity-station" coupling network obtained by the method proposed in this patent plans new charging stations at nodes 10, 24, 19, 6, 3 and 21, which are coupled with nodes 10, 29, 19, 24, 2 and 33 of the power grid respectively. In the road network structure, this patent classifies road network nodes 31, 32, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 16, 21, 25, 33, 26 and 29 as residential areas, divides road network nodes 5, 10, 15, 20, 24, 28, 30 and 27 into working areas, and divides road network nodes 9, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 22 and 23 into commercial areas. Based on the proposed load clustering method, this patent divides all nodes with the same charging decision into the same service area. The charging service zoning diagram of the charging station based on the method of this patent is as follows Figure 5 shown.
[0488] Depend on Figure 5It can be seen that the method of this patent divides road network traffic nodes 5, 9, 10 and 15 into charging station No. 1, divides road network traffic nodes 23, 24, 27, 28 and 30 into charging station No. 2, divides road network traffic nodes 13, 14, 17, 18, 19 and 20 into charging station No. 3, divides road network traffic nodes 6, 7, 11 and 12 into charging station No. 4, divides road network traffic nodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 31 and 32 into charging station No. 5, and divides road network traffic nodes 16, 21, 22, 25, 26, 29 and 33 into charging station No. 6.
[0489] 1) Analysis of the effectiveness of considering load clustering method in charging station planning.
[0490] This patent analyzes EV charging station planning from both the user and charging station perspectives. Table 4 shows the impact of optimizing charging station layouts using methods 1 and 2 on EV users' time costs, taking into account real-time traffic conditions.
[0491] Table 4 Time cost of electric vehicle users in methods 1 and 2
[0492]
[0493] As shown in Table 4, compared with method 1, the total road travel time and total queuing time of electric vehicle users in one day in method 2 are reduced by 19.24% and 90.98% respectively. The main reason is that: the method of dividing the service area using the Voronoi diagram in method 1 is to calculate the Euclidean distance between the edge node and the center point through geometric principles, and take this minimum as the goal, without considering the actual distance and real-time road conditions of the complex traffic network. Unlike method 1, method 2 divides the service area with the goal of minimizing the actual road time spent by each edge node to the center node, so that the road travel time spent by electric vehicles to the charging station for charging is reduced. The total queuing time is greatly reduced. The reason is that if the service area is divided based on Euclidean distance only from a geometric perspective, it may lead to the marginalization of nodes farther away after the node-dense areas are clustered into service areas, reducing the balance of charging loads contained in each service area. Further analysis shows that the mean square deviation of the number of electric vehicles arriving at the charging station each hour is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the charging service area division diagram of the charging station of Method 1 and Method 2 is as follows Figure 7 and 8 shown.
[0494] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that in terms of the mean square error of the number of electric vehicles arriving at the charging station every hour, the mean square error of method 2 is smaller than that of method 1, which means that the charging demand distribution in the charging service area of the charging station divided by method 2 is more uniform. Figure 7 and8 It can be seen that the area divided by No. 2 and No. 4 in Method 1 is the largest, containing a total of 18 traffic nodes, accounting for 54.54% of the total number of nodes, and their load demand accounts for 58.85% of the total demand. In Method 2, the largest charging service area is No. 3 and No. 4 charging stations, and their number of nodes and load demand account for 42.42% and 39.04% of the total number of nodes and charging demand respectively. If the high proportion of charging demand cannot be converted into charging service volume, it will inevitably lead to long queues and the loss of electric vehicle users. The comparison of the number of queues in Methods 1 and 2 is as follows: Figure 9 shown.
[0495] Depend on Figure 9 It can be seen that the longest queue time is concentrated between 18:00 and 23:00. Among them, the charging stations with the longest charging queues in method 1 are concentrated in charging stations 2 and 4. This shows that the charging demand in the designated charging service areas 2 and 4 accounts for too much, far exceeding their maximum charging service capacity. The charging service areas in method 2 are divided more evenly, effectively avoiding the situation where users queue too concentratedly, and are more conducive to charging services at charging stations.
[0496] The impact of using methods 1 and 2 to optimize the layout of charging stations on the calculation of various costs and benefits of charging stations is shown in Table 5.
[0497] Table 5 Calculation of various costs and benefits of methods 1 and 2
[0498]
[0499] Table 5 shows that compared to Method 1, Method 2's annual total revenue increased by 27.06%. This is because Method 2's more evenly divided charging service area results in greater utilization of charging equipment and a larger number of electric vehicles receiving charging services daily, which in turn increases total revenue. In contrast, Method 1, due to queue time constraints, reduces the number of electric vehicles receiving services per day by 17.14% compared to Method 2, resulting in a decrease in annual total revenue of 1.8822 million yuan. Method 2's annual investment and operating costs increased by 1.1832 million yuan and 94,700 yuan, respectively, compared to Method 1. This is because Method 2, taking into account charging demand within its own charging service area, plans a 27% increase in the number of charging stations. Furthermore, Method 2 plans three charging stations in work areas and only two in residential areas, while Method 1 plans four charging stations, mostly concentrated in residential areas where land prices are relatively affordable. High investment costs mean high operating and maintenance costs, making Method 2's annual investment and operating costs higher than those of Method 1. However, the increase in the annual total income of Method 2 is greater than the increase in its cost, so the annual total income of Method 2 increases by 16.36% compared with Method 1.
[0500] It can be seen that the load clustering method used in Method 2 can effectively divide the service area of the charging station, which can not only significantly reduce the time spent on the road and in queues by electric vehicle users to reach the charging station, but also effectively improve the overall service capacity of the charging station and improve the economic efficiency of its operation.
[0501] 2) Analysis of the effectiveness of considering the balancing effect of electric vehicle charging load in charging station planning.
[0502] After considering the balancing effect of charging loads, charging stations must plan and construct supporting facilities to accommodate the capacity configuration of the charging equipment. This patent only considers the supporting investment and construction of transformers during the charging station planning process, thus requiring consideration of network loss costs as well as the investment, operating, and loss costs of transformers. The impact of Methods 2 and 3 on the time cost of electric vehicle users after considering the balancing effect of electric vehicle charging loads is shown in Table 6.
[0503] Table 6 Time cost of electric vehicle users in methods 2 and 3
[0504]
[0505] Table 6 shows that, compared with Method 2, Method 3 increases and decreases the total waiting time and travel time for electric vehicle users by 61.14 and 22.57 hours, respectively. This is primarily due to the fact that, considering the impact of centralized electric vehicle charging on the overall operation of the power grid, Method 3 reduces the total number of charging piles by 5.51% compared to Method 2 in order to maintain load balancing between regions and reduce network losses. This reduced number of charging piles leads to supply shortages during certain periods, thus increasing the average and total waiting time. However, because the charging pile layout in Method 3 reduces the travel time for users to charge, the total time spent in Method 3 is only 6.91% higher than that in Method 2.
[0506] The impact of using methods 2 and 3 to optimize the layout of charging stations on the calculation of various costs and benefits of charging stations is shown in Table 7.
[0507] Table 7 Calculation of various costs and benefits of Methods 2 and 3
[0508]
[0509]
[0510] As can be seen from Table 7, the annual total income of Method 3 is not much different from that of Method 2, with a difference of only 72,270 yuan. This is because the number of electric vehicles served by the two methods is almost the same. Compared with Method 2, the annual investment cost and operating cost of the charging station and the investment cost and operating cost of the transformer of Method 3 are reduced by 7.47%, 7%, 1.96% and 1.9% respectively. The main reason is that Method 2 does not plan and decide the number of charging piles from the perspective of the overall operation of the power grid, but only optimizes the time spent by users on charging and the maximum profit of the charging station. More charging facilities are planned at some nodes, which leads to an increase in the annual investment cost and operating cost of its charging stations. The large-scale investment and construction of charging facilities also requires the planning of larger capacity transformers, which in turn increases the investment cost and operating cost of the transformer. The impact of the two methods on the voltage fluctuation rate of the power grid is shown in the figure. Figure 10 shown.
[0511] like Figure 10 As shown, Method 3 reduces node voltage fluctuations compared to Method 2, with an average voltage fluctuation reduction of 45.9%. This is primarily due to the fact that Method 2 ignores the impact of centralized EV charging on the overall power flow distribution of the grid. It plans and constructs charging stations with increased charging capacity at nodes with high voltage fluctuations, resulting in severe voltage overshoots at some nodes. This increases Method 2's annual total network loss cost by 45.82%, further increasing Method 3's total revenue by 1.1221 million yuan compared to Method 2.
[0512] This patent calculates the total fitness of the results obtained by the two methods based on formula (40), using ω1 = 0.5 and the maximum benefit F 1,max =600, the total charging time consumed by the user is F 2,max =3000, the total fitness value of method 2 is 0.832, and that of method 3 is 0.486. This shows that although method 3 slightly increases the charging time of electric vehicle users, from the perspective of the overall operation of the power grid, planning and decision-making can reduce planning investment costs and network losses while improving the economy and safety of its planning.
