Abstract

The battery swapping scheme together with pricing with mile counting and large-scale centralized charging is a competitive way for the development of electric vehicle industry. Although a large-scale centralized charging station has significant effects on the power system operation, it lacks of theoretical guidance for its planning. The scheme of "centralized charging, unified distribution" was introduced. Considering power grid and traffic network, a planning model which aims to decide the capacity and site choice of a large-scale centralized charging station was established. The effectiveness of this model was tested by the comparison of several alternatives. Sensitivity analysis was made with reference to the new lines' transmission capacity and the candidate station's land price, which were proved to be the key factors for the selection of centralized charging stations' sites and capacity allocating.
