Optimal Operation of Convenience Store with Electric Vehicle and Cooling Model Heat Pump

In recent years, the spread of renewable energy (RES) has been called for in consideration of environmental issues. In addition, consumers are being asked to reduce their power consumption in order to achieve carbon neutrality. Stores such as convenience store (CS) use electricity 24 hours a day, and the amount of power consumption is a barrier to achieving carbon neutrality. In this study, we propose a convenience store that has introduced a cooling-heat pump to reduce power consumption. In addition, we introduce an electric vehicle (EV) and an EV charging station into this model to improve the economic efficiency of the model. The simulation results show that the proposed model is more effective from the economic and environmental standpoints than a conventional CS without the use of equipment.
