Multi-objective optimization of an autobahn EV charging station supplied by renewable energy (Wanitschke et al. 2016)
Alexander Wanitschke, Oliver Arnhold
In order to address battery electric vehicles’ future ability to travel long distance this paper analyzes a sample case study of supra-regional charging, an Autobahn battery electric vehicle (BEV) charging station supplied by renewable energy. A tri-objective optimization of a local renewable energy system demonstrates how the charging station’s levelized cost of energy, life cycle emissions and stress on the electric grid can be reduced simultaneously by introducing a combination of partially curtailed photovoltaic generators and a battery electric storage system.
