Abstract
A method for optimization of electric vehicle fleets is proposed. The method utilizes a hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm with both continuous and binary variables. The battery capacity, battery chemistry, charging locations, charging power and number of chargers are obtained as an output of the optimization. A vehicle fleet simulation model is used to evaluate the cost of the system. The energy consumption for various routes and the costs for charging infrastructure, energy and purchase of vehicles are obtained as a result from the simulations. The battery ageing is evaluated based on the state-of-charge cycles. The method is demonstrated on two different cases of electric buses in the Helsinki region.
