Implementation and comparative testing of turn-based algorithm for logit network loading

In order to evaluate the practicality and effectiveness of the turn-based algorithm for logit loading （TALL）, the TALL is implemented using C＋＋, and it is compared with a combination of the network-expanding method and the Dial algorithm based on the analysis of algorithm procedures. The TALL uses the arc-labeling shortest path searching, bidirectional star and the deque structure to directly assign the traffic flow, while the Dial algorithm should be used in an expanded network. The test results over realistic networks of eight cities show the superior performance of the TALL algorithm over the combination of the network-expanding method and the Dial algorithm, and the average processing time is reduced by 55. 4%. Furthermore, it is found that the operational efficiency of the TALL relates to the original densities of the cities. The average processing time is reduced by 65. 1% when the original density is about 14%, but the advantage of the TALL is not obvious with the increase in the original density.

Dispatching Fuel-cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles Toward Transportation and Energy Systems Integration

With the increasing integration of traditional elec-tric vehicles(EVs),the ensuing congestion and overloading issues have threatened the reliability of power grid operations.Hydrogen has been advocated as a promising energy carrier to achieve low-carbon transportation and energy(trans-energy)systems,which can support the popularization of fuel-cell hybrid EVs(FCHEVs)while enhancing the flexibility of power grids.In this paper,we propose an optimal scheduling framework for trans-energy systems that evaluates the merits of the hydrogen supply chain from water electrolysis,compressed storage and transportation to FCHEV utilization.A detailed FCHEV model is established,and mileage is modeled as a function of the stored electricity and hydrogen mass.A stochastic programming-based scheduling model is formulated,which minimizes the total cost of unit commitment and the hydrogen supply chain.The Dijkstra algorithm is adopted to search the shortest path for hydrogen transportation.Case studies demonstrate that FCHEVs can reduce the operational costs of tran-energy systems and facilitate the accommodation of renewable energy when compared to traditional EVs.Index Terms-Fuel-cell hybrid electric vehicle,hydrogen,mileage model,shortest path search,trans-energy systems.
