Abstract

This chapter focuses on the operation aspect of an electric vehicle (EV) station system in the battery swapping context and investigates analytical scheduling methods for cost saving, efficiency improvement, and its complementarity with microgrids as an energy carrier. Specifically, we formulate an optimal scheduling problem for battery swapping in a microgrid that assigns to each EV a best battery station to swap its depleted battery based on its current location and state of charge. The schedule aims to minimize a weighted sum of EVs’ travel distance and electricity ...
