Logistic Aspects of the Distribution of Electric Charging Stations on the Urban Road Network

Abstract

Modern approaches to organization and management of an urban energy system deal with the optimal placement of charging stations for electric cars and other vehicles, that have dynamic charging while driving. The electric power flows are allocated between the consumers and must be taken into account in logistics network model under study in order to ensure sustainable and stable generation of energy for the urban transportation. Integration of different functional areas into the process of power supply of electric vehicles allows to optimize the total expenses for the city transportation service. The energy aspects of functioning of logistics systems are directly related to the problems of environmental protection in cities and locations of energy sources concentration. The distribution and redistribution of the energy power flows are an urgent applied research task, which is emerging as a promising work in the field of design of deployment models of electric charging stations on the city road network. The elaboration of the suggested approaches involves traditional and modern management models, including the models for estimating the entropy of the logistics system. The entropic model consists of the calculation of parameters of adaptation of the type, structure and properties of the available charging stations on the city road network. Planning of placement and layouts of charging stations is carried out after the final stage in calculating the parameter of organization of functioning of the analyzed resource-supplying logistics network. The total result and planned economic parameters of the charging stations should be measured and controlled.
