What is OLEV?
The Online Electric Vehicle (OLEV) is a battery-powered transportation sys-tem that remotely picks up electricity from power transmitters buried underground.
The system utilizes the innovative wireless charging technology developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in South Korea.
Functioning of OLEV
Goal of the Paper
The main purpose of this paper is to develop a mathematical model for the OLEV system to construct an optimization problem to minimize the total cost of the system
The key design variables of the transportation system—the battery size and allocation of the power transmitters
Modelling assumptions
Battery cost is proportional to the maximum capacity of the battery.
The SOC level is linearly proportional to the charging time.
Regenerative braking—an energy recovery mechanism that slows a vehicle down by converting its kinetic energy into electric energy and charges the battery simultaneously—is neglected in the model.
The OLEVs are driven following a fixed and predefined speed profile for the route.
