Optimal Location of EV Charging Stations in a Neighborhood Considering a Multi-Objective Approach

2021

Author(s): Bitencourt L, Abud TP, Dias BH, Borba BSMC, Maciel RS, Quirós-Tortós J

This study has proposed a methodology to optimally locate charging stations (CSs) through a multi-objective approach, by minimizing the electrical losses and the charging zone center deviation. It applies a hierarchical clustering method to define CS service zones, considering both technical and mobility aspects.

Optimal Fleet Deployment for Electric Vehicle Sharing Systems With the Consideration of Demand Uncertainty

2021

Author(s): Lu C-C, Yan S, Li H-C, Diabat A, Wang H-T

This study addresses the optimal allocation of a fleet of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) to the stations of an EV-sharing system. The objective is to maximize the profit of the system operator. A multi-layer time–space network flow technique is adopted to describe the movement of EVs in the system.

The recycle and reuse of recyclable wastes is an important way of a good social and economic cycle, and plays a decisive role in resource conservation and environmental protection. The idea of reverse logistics based on the principle of 'sustainable development and circular economy' has increasingly gained attention as the issue of resource wastage and environmental degradation has become more serious.
