Impact of logistic truck electrification on electrical infrastructure

Background

A research project between Coop, AEW and HSLU investigates the impacts of fleet electrification of logistic trucks on the local electrical infrastructure as well as the upstream power grid. A key aspect driving the needs for electrical infrastructure is a better understanding of the charging needs of a e-truck fleet, which reveals the energy required to maintain the operations of the fleet, required grid capacity, the battery sizes required for different routes etc. Moreover, it shall be analyzed if e-trucks can provide demand side flexibility for grid services and maximize use of local renewable production.

Challenge

Assess the operating schedule of a logistic truck fleet. What is the daily energy profile? What charging capacities are required to maintain the logistic operation. Can the charging processes be shifted or optimized? What is the potential flexibility that the e-truck fleet can provide?

Data

Weekly operating schedule of 160 vehicles serving north-eastern part of Coop super markets with exact departure and arrival times and locations, approximate vehicle load, etc.
