System structure and the allocation of wireless charging power supply systems for OLEV system

Abstract

The system structure of OLEV is analyzed in terms of the charging logistics of electric vehicles, followed by a mathematical optimization model for an economical design. Since the battery cost constitutes a large fraction of the total vehicle cost, the capacity of the battery is the key factor in the design of an OLEV system. Another critical important issue is the allocation of the charging infrastructure, including a set of wireless power supply systems installed throughout the route. It is based on a mathematical model and optimization method developed earlier. A simple numerical case with hypothetical data is presented to verify the model.
