Abstract:

To improve the current automated guided vehicle (AGV) charging strategy at automated terminals, which is not fully coordinated with the distributed power supply, a joint optimization method of AGV logistics scheduling and orderly charging is proposed. First, the synergetic relationship between AGV logistics scheduling and charging scheduling is analyzed, and a joint optimization framework is built. Then, a method to calculate the distance traveled by AGVs while considering the segregation requirements of trucks inside and outside the terminal is proposed. Afterwards, for the AGV charging module, the judgment conditions of AGV charging status and the pile selection method are defined. Furthermore, to minimize the cost of purchasing electricity at the terminal, a joint optimization model of logistics scheduling and orderly charging is constructed by considering time-of-use tariff, distributed power feed-in tariff, power balance constraint, state of charge constraint at the termination moment, upper and lower bound constraints of decision variables, and logistics scheduling constraint. Finally, a fast solution method based on improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed, of which the effectiveness and economic efficiency are verified by an actual case of a terminal.

Key words: automated guided vehicle (AGV), distributed power supply, port logistics, orderly charging, synergetic scheduling
