Abstract:

From the operator’s point of view, an integer linear programming model for the operation of the battery exchange station is established to maximize operation profit by using the policy of battery exchange station. The factors such as the exchange fee, the battery inventory, the charge and discharge capacity and the service level of the exchange station are comprehensively considered in the model. The model is solved based on the Lingo program. And then the optimal profits and the number of charge and discharge batteries can be obtained for different parameters. Additionally, the sensitivity relationship between the different parameters and the operation profits is further analyzed. Through the analysis, it can be found that the proposed model can minimize the risk of the operator′s investment and maximize operation profit. Therefore, it can provide a strong guidance for the operator to make a reasonable and effective operation strategy and battery management.

Key words: battery exchange station, integer programming, operation profit, operation strategy, battery management
