Techno-Environmental Assessment of Electrified Road

Decarbonization awareness and fuel price induced greater alternative energy deployment. Battery electric trucks using Electrified Road System (ERS) is a promising solution. The aim of this paper is to evaluate fuel consumption and environmental benefits in 6 km road in Laem Chabang Port, Thailand to try out the underneath conductive charging. Battery capacity penetrations were designed regarding 1,280 trucks on weekdays, the electricity annual demand reached 1.608 TWh and the flexible demand was at 1.65 TWh. The input observed Thailand’s electricity standard with 50kVA power substation per 0.0016 km2 and 22kV/400-230V voltage system. The penetration required 525 kWh capacity. The findings indicated that fuel consumption was at 592.43 TWh and CO2 emission were at 51.63 MtCO2 yearly. Consequence after ERS was evaluated with Time Series, Fixed Effect, and Tobit Regression. Time Series analysis showed that CO2 emission would be close to zero in 2060 with annual 4% Laem Chabang’s GDP. Fixed Effect signified the findings with recent Thailand potential, whilst Tobit Regression represented influence from possible change. Both regressions showed that variation in revenue, oil resource, openness to the sea, and political stability significantly affected CO2 emission although there was no change in the ERS.
