Abstract

The location problem of electric vehicle charging station is a hot issue in the current society, its essence is the classical NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization. This paper studied the location of charging station based on the minimum opening cost. Firstly, this paper established the mathematical model of the problem, then studied the mathematical properties of the problem and gave the corresponding proof. It used these properties to reduce the scale of the problem, so as to reduce the difficulty of solving the problem. Then this paper designed the upper and lower bound sub algorithm and the reduced order sub algorithm. Based on these sub algorithms, this paper proposed the branch and bound algorithm which could quickly reduce the size of the problem and obtain the optimal solution, which reduced the time complexity and pruned the solution space to speed up the solution speed. Finally, it gave an example to illustrate the principle and implementation of the algorithm.
