Abstract:The shortage of fossil fuel energy that always depends on imports have brought challenges to energy security in China,meanwhile,China also suffers the pressure from environment protection. Under these circumstances,Chinese government promotes the usage of electric vehicles ( EV) ,which will generate a development of EV charging facilities. At this time,the planning methods of traditional power grid would not be flexible for the planning of EV charging facilities. A method with consideration of comprehensive benefit is needed. A planning method based on comprehensive benefit evaluation is proposed for EV charging facility layout,and the detailed introduction is given as well as an example demonstration.
