Abstract
The surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption reflects a global shift towards sustainable transportation, driven by concerns over greenhouse gas emissions and technological advancements. However, the rapid growth of EVs presents logistical challenges, particularly in infrastructure development and planning. This research investigates strategies for the optimal siting of EV charging stations (EVCSs) within integrated power distribution network (PDN) and transportation network (TN) systems.
By integrating TN-PDN systems and considering factors such as the impact of EVCSs on the PDN and TN, the study seeks to develop cost-effective solutions for EV infrastructure planning. The resulting optimization models are evaluated through case studies. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to address the challenges of EV infrastructure deployment and advance sustainable transportation initiatives.
Furthermore, this study proposes two distinct models to address specific challenges. One model focuses on mitigating road congestion while allocating EVCSs, whereas the other model specifically targets mass evacuation scenarios resulting from natural disasters.
