ABSTRACT

With the evolving demand for sustainable mobility, adequate charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) has been growing steadily and wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has been seen as an efficient alternative for EV charging while maintaining seamless traffic flow. This paper reviews the modelling challenges in terms of both static (plug-in) charging (SC) and wireless charging (WC) facilities in a transportation network in terms of system integration, focusing on the evolution of the WPT technology. The first part of the paper provides an overview of all the major progress and achievements made by different research organisations in the area of WPT technology for EV charging. These technologies are ranked based on two indices, namely technological readiness level and system readiness level. The optimal location of WC facilities comes with more design and operational issues than conventional static charging facilities. However, they are similar in terms of the infrastructure modelling approach to locate these charging facilities, as the overall goal is to maximise the network flow and minimise the overall system cost. The second part of the paper assesses different modelling approaches used to analyse the network and locate the charging infrastructure for static and WC facilities. The economic feasibility of the technology is an important consideration for successful system integration as well as the overall performance of the system. As such, this paper also provides a synopsis of different socio-economic studies related to the WC infrastructure allocation problem. Finally, future research directions in this field are discussed based on the knowledge gaps identified from the existing literature.

摘要

随着对可持续移动性的需求不断变化，电动汽车 (EV) 的充足充电基础设施一直在稳步增长，无线电力传输 (WPT) 技术已被视为 EV 充电的有效替代方案，同时保持无缝交通流量。本文从系统集成的角度回顾了交通网络中静态（插入式）充电（SC）和无线充电（WC）设施的建模挑战，重点关注 WPT 技术的演进。论文的第一部分概述了不同研究机构在电动汽车充电 WPT 技术领域取得的所有主要进展和成果。这些技术的排名基于两个指标，即技术​​准备水平和系统准备水平。厕所设施的最佳位置比传统的静电充电设施有更多的设计和运营问题。然而，它们在定位这些充电设施的基础设施建模方法方面是相似的，因为总体目标是最大化网络流量并最小化整体系统成本。本文的第二部分评估了用于分析网络和定位静态和厕所设施的充电基础设施的不同建模方法。该技术的经济可行性是成功系统集成以及系统整体性能的重要考虑因素。因此，本文还提供了与厕所基础设施分配问题相关的不同社会经济研究的概要。最后，
