Abstract

This study presents a techno-economic assessment of dynamic wireless power transfer for long-haul freight transport, focusing on the fleet operator’s perspective. In particular, we compared three different powertrain technologies: a conventional powertrain and a battery-electric with or without a dynamic charger installed. For all three technologies, we developed a cost model to assess the total cost of ownership for a fleet operator using different scenarios.

Notably, dedicated cost models were devised to estimate energy carrier costs and costs related to time loss incurred by fleet operators due to extended delivery times of electric trucks compared to conventional ones. The novelties in the cost model are twofold. First, dedicated cost models have been devised to estimate the costs related to the energy carriers (including the cost of infrastructure) and to the time loss incurred by fleet operators due to the extended delivery times of electric trucks compared to conventional ones. Second, the energy consumption by source and travel time were derived from an ad-hoc developed simulation approach models longitudinal dynamics of the case-study as well as the powertrain’s performance on the basis of experimentally derived look-up tables provided by manufacturers as well as by previous research projects. The simulation results provided by this model are instrumental to our enhanced cost model as it provides the required inputs and it allowed us to tailor the results to a specific delivery mission.

Our results provide valuable insights for fleet operators considering the adoption of zero-emission trucks and to policy-makers and other infrastructure stakeholders regarding the conditions required for the cost-effectiveness of electric road systems.

评估动态无线电力传输在长途货运中的可行性：从车队运营商的角度进行技术经济分析

本研究从车队运营商的角度出发，对用于长途货运的动态无线电力传输进行了技术经济评估。我们特别比较了三种不同的动力总成技术：传统动力总成和安装或未安装动态充电器的电动电池。对于所有三种技术，我们都开发了一个成本模型，以评估车队运营商在不同情况下的总拥有成本。值得注意的是，我们设计了专门的成本模型，以估算能源载体成本和车队运营商因电动卡车交付时间比传统卡车长而产生的时间损失相关成本。成本模型有两方面的创新。首先，设计了专门的成本模型来估算与能源载体相关的成本（包括基础设施成本），以及车队运营商因电动卡车的交付时间比传统卡车长而产生的时间损失。其次，根据制造商和先前研究项目提供的通过实验得出的查找表，通过临时开发的模拟方法对案例研究的纵向动态和动力总成的性能进行建模，得出源能耗和行驶时间。我们的结果为考虑采用零排放卡车的车队运营商以及政策制定者和其他基础设施利益相关者提供了有价值的见解，帮助他们了解电动道路系统成本效益所需的条件。

期刊介绍： Applied Energy serves as a platform for sharing innovations, research, development, and demonstrations in energy conversion, conservation, and sustainable energy systems. The journal covers topics such as optimal energy resource use, environmental pollutant mitigation, and energy process analysis. It welcomes original papers, review articles, technical notes, and letters to the editor. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that bridge the gap between research, development, and implementation. The journal addresses a wide spectrum of topics, including fossil and renewable energy technologies, energy economics, and environmental impacts. Applied Energy also explores modeling and forecasting, conservation strategies, and the social and economic implications of energy policies, including climate change mitigation. It is complemented by the open-access journal Advances in Applied Energy.
