Energy Logistics Cost Study for Wireless Charging Transportation Networks

Many cities around the world encourage transition to battery-powered vehicles minimize carbon footprint of transportation sector. Deploying large-scale wireless charging infrastructures charge electric transit buses when loading and unloading passengers have become an effective way reduce emissions. The standard plug-in a limited amount power stored in battery, resulting frequent stops refill energy. Optimal siting bus is essential reducing these inconveniences enhancing sustainability performance fleet. Wireless innovation transmitting through electromagnetic induction portable electrical devices for energy renewal. Online Electric Vehicle (OLEV) new technology that allows vehicle be charged while it motion, thus removing need stop at station. Developed by Korea Advanced Institute Science Technology (KAIST), OLEV picks up electricity from transmitters buried underground. This paper aims investigate cost logistics three types networks: stationary (SWC), quasi-dynamic (QWC), dynamic (DWC), deployed size battery capacity buses, using service borough Manhattan (MN) New York City (NYC).
