AN OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR CHARGING THE BATTERIES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AT BATTERY SWAPPING STATION

Abstract

Today we are living in a string phase of the third decade of 21st century and we know the fact that the need of transportation is rapidly increasing day by day. Where the combustion of fossil fuels comes from exhaust pipe of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles leads to air pollution. To make the environment pollution less a concept of Electrical Vehicle (EV) arises long back but it comes into effective use in recent years. As in the present scenario, EVs have a great potential in vehicle and transportation market to make a revolutionary change and reduce the dependency from conventional fuel. With the great availability of renewable energy sources, research and scientists move towards the semiconductor industries to make such an environment where everyone can afford the EV. Electric vehicles (EVs) with minimal noise, fewer carbon emissions, and great efficiency have become an unavoidable alternative for vehicular sustainable development due to environmental degradation and energy limitations. In India also the EV industries rise in rapid pace but the charging stations for EVs is still big challenge. EV battery swapping is a great alternative to EV charging stations for several reasons. It’s more convenient, it’s faster, and it’s less expensive. For a way to charge EV quickly and easily, battery swapping is the way to go. This report represents by finding out the ideal charging schedule for exchanged electric vehicle (EV) batteries, a good system for an effective battery swapping station is presented. The goal is to reduce an objective function while considering three variables: the quantity of batteries drawn from store to fulfil all incoming EV swap orders, possible charging damage from using high-rate chargers, and power costs for various time periods of the day.
