Abstract
The travel behavior of electric vehicle (EV) users is highly random, and the interests of EV charging station investors interact with the needs of charging users. The increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs), cities have higher requirements for EV charging station location planning. This paper proposes a multi-objective EV charging station siting method based on trip chains. First, the EV trip chain is used to analyze its dynamic travel process, construct probabilistic models, and simulate its charging behavior using Monte Carlo (MC) method to obtain the time–space distribution of EV users’ charging demand. Then, the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and the Non-dominated Sorting Whale Optimization Algorithm (NSWOA) are used to solve problems that aim to optimize the cost for the investor and improve user satisfaction as objective functions. Finally, taking a region in Nanjing as an example, the simulation concluded that multi-objective siting planning optimizes the investor cost by 9.22% compared with single-objective siting planning, reduces the user’s station-seeking time by 47.91%, charging waiting time by 65.83%, which verifies the method has the advantages of optimizing the investment cost and enhancing the user’s satisfaction, and it provides decision-making ideas for the study of EV charging station siting and layout.
