Master Thesis Master's Programme in Industrial Management and Innovation, 60 Credits
Master Thesis Master's Programme in Industrial Management and Innovation, 60 credits Status of The Technology for Electrical Road Focusing on Wireless Charging International Outlook Thesis in Industrial Management and Innovation, 15 Credits Halmstad 2020-06-14 Padma Kumar Parameswaran Thampi, Thomas Paul Thodukulam Poulose HALMSTAD UNIVERSITY Abstract The transportation sector has a vital role in today’s society and accounts for 20 % of our global total energy consumption. It is also one of the most greenhouse gas emission intensive sectors as almost 95 % of its energy originates from petroleum-based fuels. Due to the possible harmful nature of greenhouse gases, there is a need for a transition to more sustainable transportation alternatives. A possible alternative to the conventional petroleum- based road transportation is, implementation of Electric Road Systems (ERS) in combination with electric vehicles (Evs). There are currently three proven ERS technologies, namely, conductive power transfer through overhead lines, conductive power transfer from rails in the road and inductive power transfer through the road. The wireless charging or inductive charging electric vehicles (EV) are a type of EVs with a battery which is charged from a charging infrastructure and using the wireless power transfer technology. The wireless charging EVs are classified as stationary or dynamic charging EVs. The stationary charging EVs charge wirelessly when they are parked as well as dynamic charging EVs can charge while they are in motion. Number of studies have reported that, one of the main benefits of dynamic charging is, it allows smaller as well as lighter batteries to be used due to the frequent charging using in the charging infrastructure embedded under roads. -
Public Transport Bus Can Be Charged Wirelessly On-The-Go
Innovation > Telecommunications > Public transport bus can be charged wirelessly on-the-go PUBLIC TRANSPORT BUS CAN BE CHARGED WIRELESSLY ON-THE- GO TELECOMMUNICATIONS Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have developed the OLEV, an electric bus designed for mass transit that can be charged wirelessly, while stationary or moving. Although vehicles such as the lightweight Navia shuttle have shown the feasibility of electric vehicles as public transport, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have now developed the OLEV, an electric bus designed for mass transit that can be charged wirelessly, while stationary or moving. Standing for Online Electric Vehicle, the idea for the OLEV was inspired by previous transportation devices such as commercial trams and shuttle buses created at KAIST. Where the trams use overhead power cables to run, a new route located in the city of Gumi in South Korea includes magnetic field resonance cables buried under the road surface. These cables are able to charge the batteries of the OLEV as it runs along the route through inductive charging. This means that the vehicle can travel along the 24-kilometer route without having to stop to be recharged, which in turn allows the developers to use a battery that is one-third of the size of those included in typical electric cars, reducing the weight of the vehicle. The transport option was launched to the public in August and the team behind the OLEV want to introduce ten more buses by 2015. Could this idea provide the basis for more viable electricity- based public and private transport in the future? 12th September 2013 Website: www.kaist.edu Contact: www.twitter.com/KAISTofficial . -

However, electrification of public transportation leads to a phenomenon of peak load that impacts the stability of low voltage (LV) feeders. In this context, the effective integration of an energy storage system (ESS) and photovoltaic (PV) in a bus depot charging ecosystem can lead to i) peak load reduction and ii) charging cost reduction with low carbon emission. Therefore, a limited PEB charge scheduling algorithm is proposed for: i) bus depot operator (BDO) profit maximization and ii) grid stability enhancement considering the constraints of PEB charging and grids. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for BDO profit maximization has been formulated and analyzed using IBM ILOG studio with CPLEX solver. Simulation has been performed for SkyBus electric fleet using real-world data such as actual bus arrival and departure schedules under diverse traffic, number of passengers, trip duration, daily load profile, solar radiation profile, and benchmark storage price. -

TOSA – Concept a Full Electric Large Capacity Urban Bus System Abstract
Swiss mobility days, Martigny, 07.04.2016, Olivier Augé/Global Product Manager & Innovation Agent ,ABB Sécheron TOSA – Concept A full electric large capacity urban bus system Abstract 15 seconds is the time needed at bus stops to disembark and embark passengers. That’s also the time we need to put some energy into the full electric TOSA large capacity bus. Like a trolleybus, the TOSA bus collects the required energy during its journey, but without overhead lines. Like an overnight charging battery bus, TOSA has autonomy to ensure the service, but with a small and long-life battery - no oversizing and limited recycling. At first glance, it looks like a paradox, but by selecting the appropriate technology and ensuring management of energy within the most optimal operating range means that a small battery has a much longer life time than the one used in an overnight charging battery bus. The technical architecture of this opportunity-charging principle, that we call Flash charging, will be presented along with its operational, economical and energy efficiency requirements. To achieve the energy transfer in such a short time, this bus has a laser controlled moving arm that connects to an overhead receptacle at some bus stops, e.g. every forth in Line 23. The docking procedure is fast, achieved in less than a second. The first TOSA articulated bus has been running in Geneva since May 2013. Concept and experience from the field will be shared, as well as the configuration for deployment on the full line 23 in Geneva by 2017. © ABB April 15, -
