Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Optimal Location Based on Fuzzy C-Means Clustering

Article Preview

Abstract:

As plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicle ownership is expanding, there is a growing need for widely distributed publicly accessible charging stations. Building a charging station cost too much. Therefore, optimal location of charging stations has to be dealt with. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the optimal location of charging stations using fuzzy C-means clustering method. Preliminary of fuzzy C-means clustering method is introduced first followed by the procedure of charging station optimal location using Fuzzy C-means Clustering. Finally, simulation results show the validity of proposed method.
