Optimal Configuration of Electric/hydrogen Charging Station Based on User Behavior Characteristics

The widespread adoption of new energy vehicles has resulted in a significant increase in charging demand, and it has become a key problem to deeply understand the charging demand and reasonably develop electric/hydrogen charging station. However, insufficient consideration of charging behavior uncertainty in existing approaches for optimal charging station configuration could result in poor performance. This paper presents a methodology for optimizing the configuration of electric/hydrogen charging stations by taking into account the user behavior characteristics. Firstly, a comprehensive mathematical model of the electric/hydrogen charging station that integrates wind, solar, storage, and charging is established. Secondly, a mixed utility-regret decision model is developed to account for the uncertainty in user travel and charging behavior, which incorporates the travel chain and user psychology. Finally, the optimization objective is solved with the lowest comprehensive cost of the charging station. By comparing the three cases, the proposed method can obtain a reasonable configuration scheme, which can improve the economy and flexibility of the electric/hydrogen charging station.
