Abstract:

A charging and discharging scheduling strategy for electric bus charging station considering the configuration of energy storage system is proposed to address the management difficulties of high load pressure and high charging operation cost caused by disorderly charging at electric bus charging station. Firstly, a mixed integer programming model is established to minimize the overall daily cost of the charging station and to coordinate the charging of the electric bus and the charging and discharging of the energy storage system. The capacity of energy storage system is optimized and sensitivity analysis is performed. Secondly, the nonlinear charging characteristic of the onboard lithium battery is fully considered and the piecewise linear approximation method is used to describe the charging profile of battery SOC. Finally, model verification and case study are made based on the historical travel and charging records of an electric bus charging station in Chengdu. The findings demonstrate that the suggested charging scheduling strategy can successfully lower the overall cost of the charging station, ease load pressure of the grid, prolong the life of the lithium battery and enhance the economy of bus charging management and power grid stability.
