Set of criteria for evaluating technology configurations for electric lorries

Authors: Julius Jöhrens

The enERSyn project is about evaluating technologies for the energy supply of electric lorries. of electric lorries. The aim is to analyse which technologies could be used to complement stationary (fast) charging and what advantages could be achieved through their use. The focus here is particularly on systems for The focus is on systems for dynamic charging while travelling, so-called "Electric Road Systems" (ERS). Previous research has focussed on the isolated comparison of different energy supply energy supply systems under standardised conditions. However, it has been shown However, it has been shown that this perspective is not sufficient, but that a systemic view systemic view is necessary, as, for example, the possibility of dynamic charging while travelling on the necessary expansion quantities of stationary charging infrastructure, including grid connections and space requirements, and thus also on costs and expansion speed. In enERSyn, therefore, it is not individual technologies but combinations of different technology technology configurations (vehicle + infrastructure) will be evaluated - initially in the form of initially in the form of typified use cases, later scaled to a Germany-wide consideration. One such combination could be, for example, battery-powered lorries for distribution transport with a low proportion of public rapid charging and overhead line lorries for long daily routes with high routes with high energy requirements. The complementary technology configurations are therefore characterised by specific application parameters (range, energy supply, ...). As a basis for the comprehensive evaluation of such technology combinations in terms of technical, economic, ecological, energy system and political aspects, energy system and political aspects, we have created an evaluation matrix in a first step assessment matrix, which will be used in the further course of the project.
