Abstract
In this paper, we introduce an innovative framework for the strategic planning of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure within interconnected energy-transportation networks. By harnessing the small-world network model and the advanced optimization capabilities of the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III), we address the complex challenges of station placement and network design. Our application of the small-world theory ensures that charging stations are optimally interconnected, fostering network resilience and ensuring consistent service availability. We approach the infrastructure planning as a multi-objective optimization task with NSGA-III, focusing on cost minimization and the enhancement of network resilience and connectivity. Through simulations and empirical case studies, we demonstrate the efficacy of our model, which markedly improves the reliability and operational efficiency of EV charging networks. The findings of this study significantly advance the integrated planning and operation of energy and transportation networks, offering insightful contributions to the domain of sustainable urban mobility.
