Modeling for Segmented Tracks Planning of Roadway-Powered Electric Vehicles

Abstract:

Electric vehicle has aroused peoples concern with soaring energy crisis and environmental degradation. However, it has not been widely used due to some drawbacks, such as the short driving range, long charging time, frequent charging requirements and high price. In order to solve these problems, the roadway-powered electric vehicles (RPEVs) based on an inductive power transfer (IPT) has been proposed. In the segmented RPEVs system, efficiency and annual cost are affected by the track distance, tracks interval, number of tracks and installed capacity of each track, etc. Aiming to such problem, the nonlinear programming (NLP) model for segmented tracks planning of RPEVs system is studied in this paper. Meanwhile, the relationship between the system efficiency and the number of loads is analyzed as a cogent argument to the application of segmented tracks.
