Configuration of Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities Based on Queuing Theory

With the ongoing energy crisis, the development and utilization of clean energy is an issue that the world is increasingly confronted with. In addition, the number of electric vehicles in both domestic and international markets have steadily increased, making efficient charging solutions essential. Queueing theory provides an effective approach to optimizing charging station locations and capacity allocation, helping to minimize wait times, improve charging pile utilization, and meet electric vehicles charging demands. Research based on queueing models suggests that strategically allocating charging piles and refining queuing mechanisms, such as reservation systems or priority scheduling, can alleviate congestion and enhance service quality. Additionally, integrating queueing theory with energy storage technology enables electric vehicles charging stations to participate in grid dispatching. Through intelligent regulation, these stations can help balance power demand during peak hours, improving grid stability and addressing further challenges related to electric vehicles infrastructure. This work highlights the importance of queueing theory in optimizing the charging stations.
