Design, Analysis and Evaluation of Battery-Changing Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles

虽然更多地使用电动汽车（EV）是政府和组织意识到节能和环境可持续性的目标，但电动汽车仍然需要吸引车主。该项目假设，电池交换（BE）设施的适当位置和大小将使电动汽车更具吸引力，因为驾驶员对车辆在到达目的地之前耗尽电量的焦虑将减少。BE设施的最佳位置减少了更换电池所需的绕行，而设施的最佳尺寸提高了设施的服务质量。本项目从系统的角度全面解决“电动汽车换电池基础设施的设计、分析和评估”问题。电动汽车的吸引力和市场渗透率的提高将带来更清洁的环境，减少对石油和汽油的依赖。该项目将有助于制造电动汽车的汽车公司，城市和交通规划者，能源电网运营商，提供充电电池的服务公司，以及最后但并非最不重要的丹麦技术大学，项目团队与研究人员合作，研究如何快速跟踪电动汽车在丹麦的渗透。此外，除了与基于电动汽车的交通运输直接相关外，开发的几种新模型和方法在智力上有助于运筹学，计算机科学，工业工程，交通运输，地理分析和相关领域。它们也适用于替代燃料车辆，其中空罐或罐被交换为满罐，例如氢动力车辆。该项目的教育影响包括课程和实验室经验，劳动力发展和学生多样性的增强。

While higher use of electric vehicles (EV) is a goal of governments and organizations conscious of energy conservation and environmental sustainability, EVs still have to attract owners. This project hypothesizes that the proper placement and sizing of battery-exchange (BE) facilities will make EVs more appealing since the driver's anxiety that the vehicle will run out of charge before reaching the destination will be decreased. Optimal location of BE facilities decrease the detouring required for swapping batteries, while optimal sizing of facilities improves quality of service of the facilities. This project comprehensively addresses the "Design, Analysis and Evaluation of Battery-Changing Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles" from a systems perspective.Greater attraction and higher market penetration of EVs will lead to a cleaner environment and less dependence on oil and gasoline. The project will be useful to automobile companies that manufacture EVs, urban and transportation planners, energy grid operators, service companies that offer recharged batteries, and, last but not least, the Denmark Technical University where the project team's collaborates with researchers who are studying to fast-track EV penetration in Denmark. Also, besides the direct relevance to EV-based transportation, the several new models and methods developed intellectually contribute to the fields of operations research, computer science, industrial engineering, transportation, geographical analysis, and related fields. They also are applicable to alternative fueled vehicles where empty tanks or canisters are exchanged for full ones, such as for hydrogen-powered vehicles. The project's educational impacts include enhancements of curricula and laboratory experiences, workforce development, and student diversity.
