Abstract
A bilevel coordinated optimization method for fixed and mobile charging facilities on highways, includes: constructing an optimization model framework which includes an upper-layer coordinated location optimization model and a lower-layer coordinated capacity optimization model, where the upper-layer coordinated location optimization model is used to optimize locations of charging stations and determine locations and time points of charging demands that require truck mobile charger (TMC) deployment, while the lower-layer coordinated capacity optimization model is used to optimize TMC and fixed charger (FC) capacities at candidate sites, improving an utilization rate of FCs; and performing equivalent linearization on a nonlinear problem using a big-M method and converting the problem into a mixed-integer linear programming model, and implementing a data exchange process between upper and lower layers using analytical target cascading. The present disclosure enhances the utilization and flexibility of charging facilities on highways.
