Abstract

Traffic energy routers (TERs) are wireless power infrastructures that support the trading of electric vehicles (EVs) in the energy market without physical cables. This paper proposes a TER deployment model for wireless energy trading. The objective is to decide which road junction should be electrified into a TER and how long it is. In this paper, the ultracapacitor is utilized due to the advantages of long-life cycles, high power handling capacity and charging/discharging efficiency. Firstly, the number of EVs stopped at each road junction due to red traffic lights is estimated. Secondly, referring to the current electricity price, the charging and discharging demands are predicted. Thirdly, the predicted demand is revised according to whether the EVs are on the electrified paths and the charging state of ultracapacitors. Hence, the trading profiles in the spatial and temporal domains are obtained. Finally, a multi-objective deployment optimization model is designed, aiming to minimize the installation cost and maximize the drivers' profits. Simulations are carried out to study the energy trading behaviors and the optimal deployment strategy. Compared with the full deployment case, the optimal deployment in our paper uses 2.3% cost while earning 38.0% profit.
