Optimal design of electric vehicle public charging system in an urban network for Greenhouse Gas Emission and cost minimization

In this paper, we address the optimization problem of allocation of Electric Vehicle (EV) public fast charging stations over an urban grid network. The objective is to minimize Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) under multiple constraints including a limited agency budget, accessibility of charging stations in every possible charging request and charging demands during peak hours. Additionally, we address bi-criteria problems to consider user costs as the second objective. A convex parsimonious model that depends on relatively few assumptions and input parameters is proposed and it is shown to be useful for obtaining conceptual insights for high-level planning. In a parametric study using a hypothetical urban network model generated based on realistic parameters, we show that GHG emissions decrease with agency budget, and that the reductions vary depending on multiple factors related to EV market and EV technologies. The optimal solutions found from the bi-criteria problems are shown to be close to the solution minimizing GHG emissions only, meaning that the emission minimizing policy can also minimize user costs.     

海域围堰上软下硬地层中地下连续墙施工技术研究与实践

汕头市苏埃通道南岸明挖隧道位于海域围堰内,围堰内上软下硬的特殊地层给地下连续墙施工过程中的泥浆护壁、成槽造成极大的困扰。地下连续墙成槽施工前期主要采用"抓—冲结合"成槽工艺;在淤泥层、砂层、全风化岩层采用液压抓斗成槽机直接成槽;在强风化、中风化、微风化岩层采用冲击钻机冲孔、修槽成孔工艺。单元槽段成槽时一般完成1个槽段需要20 d以上,最长1个槽段达40 d,严重影响工期进度。为了改变地下连续墙施工状况,结合类似工程实践经验,在旋挖钻的基础上进行改造,将钻头设计为牙轮钻钻头,对强、中风化岩层钻孔取芯,通过组合使用"成槽机+冲击锤+旋挖钻(牙轮钻)"后,实现了地下连续墙施工效率的极大提升。经过成槽施工方案比选、入岩墙深设计优化、孤石破碎和基岩处理工艺探讨,顺利完成了该基坑工程,积累了在该类上部淤泥下部基岩地层中地下连续墙施工的经验。

Electric vehicle charging station locations: Elastic demand,station congestion,and network equilibrium

Battery-only electric vehicles (BEVs) generally offer better air quality through lowered emissions, along with energy savings and security. The issue of long-duration battery charging makes charging-station placement and design key for BEV adoption rates. This work uses genetic algorithms to identify profit-maximizing station placement and design details, with applications that reflect the costs of installing, operating, and maintaining service equipment, including land acquisition. Fast electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) are placed across a congested city's network subject to stochastic demand for charging under a user-equilibrium traffic assignment. BEV users’ station choices consider endogenously determined travel times and on-site charging queues. The model allows for congested-travel and congested-station feedback into travelers’ route choices under elastic demand and BEV owners’ station choices, as well as charging price elasticity for BEV charging users.Boston-network results suggest that EVCSs should locate mostly along major highways, which may be a common finding for other metro settings. If 10% of current EV owners seek to charge en route, a user fee of $6 for a 30-min charging session is not enough for station profitability under a 5-year time horizon in this region. However, $10 per BEV charging delivers a 5-year profit of $0.82 million, and 11 cords across 3 stations are enough to accommodate a near-term charging demand in this Boston-area application. Shorter charging sessions, higher fees, and/or allowing for more cords per site also increase profits generally, everything else constant. Power-grid and station upgrades should keep pace with demand, to maximize profits over time, and avoid on-site congestion.
