Based on the comprehensive utilization of energy storage, photovoltaic power generation, and intelligent charging piles, photovoltaic (PV)-storage charging stations can provide green energy for electric vehicles (EVs), which can significantly improve the green level of the transportation industry. However, there are many challenges in the PV-storage charging station planning process, making it theoretically and practically significant to study approaches to planning. This paper promotes a bi-level optimization planning approach for PV-storage charging stations. First, taking PV-storage charging stations and EV users as the upper- and lower-level problems, respectively, during the planning process, a bi-level optimization model for PV-storage charging stations considering user utility is established for capacity allocation and user behavior-based electricity pricing. Second, the model is converted into a single-level mixed-integer linear programming model using the piecewise linear utility function, Karush−Kuhn−Tucker (KKT) conditions, and linearization methods. Finally, to verify the validity of the proposed model and the solution algorithm, a commercial solver is used to solve the optimization model and obtain the planning scheme. The results show that the proposed bi-level optimization model can provide a more economical and reasonable planning scheme than the single-level model, and can reduce the investment cost by 8.84%, operation and maintenance cost by 13.23%, and increase net revenue by 5.11%.
