Optimization of novel charging Infrastructures using linear programming*

:Future traffic that will be accompanied by higher alternative drive concepts will pose as a challenge when it comes to corresponding energy systems. Whereas today’s conventional energy supply infrastructure (in form of gas stations) has not been optimized for the integration of charging processes into vehicle operation, the inevitable development of alternative energy supply systems and infrastructures will pose as a chance to reevaluate and optimize them accordingly This paper will show that with currently available charging powers charging processes can be integrated into urban traffic operations without the need for explicit charging halts or detours (e. g. at traffic lights) and present a method for the analysis of microscopic traffic scenarios and the optimal placement of corresponding charging stations.
