Site selection for the electric vehicle energy storage industrial park

How to select a sustainable electric vehicle charging station?

The optimal site selection of electric vehicle charging station was studied from sustainability perspective in this paper. To select the sustainable EVCS site, an evaluation index system for EVCS site selection was built, which consists of three pillars of sustainability, namely environment criteria, economy criteria and society criteria.

Do Solar-Energy-assisted electric vehicle charging stations need site selection?

These approaches have been successfully applied for solar or EV charging station site selection, but their use for solar-energy-assisted electric vehicle charging stations (SE-EVCS) is limited. As SE-EVCSs are of quickly increasing importance, this study developed a generic approach using GIS and MCDM to identify optimal locations for SE-EVCSs.

What is electric vehicle charging station (EVCs)?

As the energy provider of electric vehicle, electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) is the foundation of electric vehicle industry development. Efficient, convenient and economic EVCS can enhance the willingness to buy of consumers and promote the industry development.

How to select the optimal EVCs site?

The EVCS site selection was studied from sustainability perspective. Fuzzy TOPSIS method was employed to select the optimal EVCS site. Evaluation index system for EVCS site selection was built. The optimal EVCS site was selected due to its highest closeness coefficient. Sensitive analysis was performed to verify the robustness of decision result.

How are EVCs sites selected?

Four sub-criteria affiliated with the society criteria are finally selected for EVCS site selection. Harmonization of EVCS with the development planning of urban road network and power grid (C8): Refers to the coordination with main artery, inlet and outlet, residential areas, urban main functional areas, and the stable supply of electric power.

Are electric vehicles a solution to a zero-carbon society?

Transport electrification and renewable energy integration are essential for transitioning to a zero-carbon society. Electric vehicles (EVs) are seen as a solution to cut transport emissions, but the existing charging station network is insufficient, and the electricity is often largely supplied by fossil fuels.
