The transition to transportation electrification requires gradual changes to the charging infrastructure where the number of EVs (electric vehicles) and FCVs (fuel cell vehicles) gradually increases. Expansion of EV and FCV charging stations can be implemented via hybrid charging stations, maximizing the utilization of existing fueling infrastructures of ICVs (internal combustion vehicles) and DVs (diesel vehicles). This chapter discusses the potential design of a hybrid charging station that can combine charging of EV and fueling of ICV, DV, and FCV. The conceptual design of the hybrid charging station will be defined and used to describe possible operations using process variables for each subsystem. Optimization models are described as part of an integrated optimization framework. Each component and subsystem of the hybrid charging station will be defined, and associated performance measures and process variables will be explained. A hybrid energy system is used within the hybrid charging station and will be described using micro energy grid (MEG), with a thermal, gas, and electricity network. MEG will connect with the power grid, a thermal storage system (TES), gas/diesel supply, hydrogen supply, and waste collection. The optimization framework will be described to optimize local units and the overall hybrid charging station. The local energy generation capacity is maximized, and overall performance is optimized while considering energy supply, power grid, TES, gas supply, hydrogen supply, and waste inputs.
