Abstract

[Objective] To address the uncertainty of the travel mode and charging demand of electric vehicle(EV)users,we propose a spatial-temporal distribution prediction method for EV charging load based on the charging queue and real-time state of charge(SOC). [Methods] The influence of traffic conditions and ambient temperature on EV energy consumption and charging behavior is analyzed,and road traffic network and comprehensive energy consumption models are established. Based on the user's travel chain,the user's travel characteristics are analyzed,the shortest time method is used to plan the driving path,and a spatial-temporal distribution prediction model of the EV charging load is built considering the charging queue time and real-time SOC. Finally,the Monte Carlo method is used to verify the actual network structure and IEEE33-node distribution system. [Results] The analysis demonstrates that peak-hour charging queue durations exceeding 30 min induce partial user migration to off-peak periods,resulting in peak load reduction and off-peak load elevation compared with queuing-free models. Compared with the model that do not consider the charging queue,the peak load decreases,and the off-peak load increases. In addition,a significant time difference occur between the charging load during holidays and on working days. Moreover,as the penetration rate of EVs increases,the overall charging load continues to increase. The significant impact of the large-scale integration of EVs on the power grid was verified. [Conclusions] The proposed method can fully consider the interaction of the road network,EV,and user charging behavior and accurately predict the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of EV charging loads.

The increase of using electric vehicles (EVs) may increase power demand and therefore major effects on the power system. Therefore, if we do not have an appropriate program for utilizing and managing battery charging in the EVs, the charging process may coincide with the peak of power consumption and cause severe network problems. This paper deals with modeling the problem and estimating load consumption in EVs connected to the system. The EVs have been considered based on a random load and a probabilistic process. To manage the EVs, a traffic method called the spatial-temporal scheme, which uses the Monte Carlo algorithm, has been proposed. Also, the proposed method can be used to represent a model of electric vehicles changes in their battery charge and their need for charging at different times of a full day in different zones of the city. The proposed method has been simulated in the Matlab software and implemented for Hamedan province. The results show that using this method of estimation can improve the management of EVs.Copyright © 2020 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract
现有的电动汽车充电负荷预测研究中缺乏对用户出行行为和交通路况的精确描述,为此构建了时空图谱注意力网络,对基于城市兴趣点的出行需求和道路交通流量的时空分布进行学习和预测,并计及了日期类型、天气温度和交通事件的影响。通过基于出行时间指数(travel time index,TTI)的Dijkstra算法得到耗时最短的行驶路径,并建立了计及交通路况和气温影响的电动汽车能耗模型以及考虑距离远近和综合充电费用的充电站选择决策模型。基于西安市二环区域的实际出行需求和交通数据,对私家车、出租车和网约车3种用途电动汽车的充电需求进行了预测,并分析了出行需求变化对城市各网格空间内充电站快、慢充负荷的影响,为充电设施的规划提供了参考和依据。

Existing research on charging load prediction of electric vehicle (EV) lacks accurate descriptions of user travel behaviors and traffic conditions. Therefore, a spatio-temporal graph attention network is constructed to learn and predict the spatio-temporal distribution of travel demand considering urban points of interest and road traffic flow, taking into account the effect of date type, weather temperature and traffic events. The Dijkstra algorithm based on the travel time index (TTI) is used to obtain the shortest travel time. An EV energy consumption model that takes into account the impact of traffic conditions and air temperature, and a charging station selection decision model that considers distance and comprehensive charging cost, are both established. According to the actual travel demand and traffic data of the second ring area in Xian, the charging demand of electric vehicles for private cars, taxis and internet-hailed vehicles is predicted, and the changes in travel demand are analyzed for charging stations in various grid spaces in the city. The EV charging load prediction provides a reference and basis for the planning of charging facilities.
