This repository provides the open-source code to the following Paper:
The novel Megawatt Charging System standard // Implications on battery size and cell requirements for battery-electric long-haul trucks
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.etran.2023.100253
Following contributions of the mentioned paper, are provided by this repo:
-
Novel investigation of the impact of varying operating strategies and charging powers up to 3.75 MW on the required battery size This paper presents the first comprehensive analysis of charging powers up to 3.75MW, possible with the novel MCS standard, in terms of downsizing the battery. Next to the standard 1-stop-strategy, multiple-stop-strategies are considered and evaluated.
-
Quantification of the resulting cell properties needed to achieve payload-, volume-, lifetime and TCO parity with a DT To enable a quantification tor the potential of the downsizing of the battery, an analysis of the cell properties, which are required to achieve the same performance as a state of the art DT, is conducted.
-
Comparison of state of the art cells with the required cell properties To evaluate the feasibility of resulting cell properties, they are compared to two state of the art automotive cells of different chemistries.
To run the code, you'll need the following python packages:
numpy
scipy
matplotlib
The results and all figures are generated by executing the file main.py. The execution time on a 16GB RAM, 1.8GHz machine is less than 4 minutes.
