Critical barriers and Opportunities

What are Electric Road Systems?

What problem are we solving?

Agenda

Outline



Focus on zero-emission trucks is necessary

Air Quality

“By focusing on the ultimate technology endpoint (zero emissions) that satisfies all of our air quality goals and supporting needed engineering advances, we can provide

the certainty businesses need for long-term planning” – CARB

California GHG emissions

-40% -80%

and targets



Transport will increasingly be the biggest challenge for decarbonization

Source: European Commission reference scenario for 2050 (2013)



Freight emissions will replace passenger traffic as main source of CO2

Source: Transport & Environment – Briefing: Too big to ignore – truck CO2 emissions in 2030 (2015)

already by 2030



Long haul is by far the biggest segment of HDV in terms of fuel consumption and GHG-emissions

Agenda

Outline



Electric Road Systems are gaining attention and different technology options are being explored

Examples of ERS investigations and development

Corporate sector Road authorities and research agencies

• Swedish Transport Administration pre-commercial procurement

• Bombardier Primove: Inductive ground-based solution

• Highways England & TRL conducting off-road trials

• Alstom APS: Conductive ground-based solution

• EU-funded FABRIC program for feasibility analysis and development

• Elways: Conductive ground-based solution

• Qualcomm Halo: Inductive ground-based solution

• Utah State University test facility for Electric Vehicle and Roadway

• OLEV Tech: Shaped Magnetic Fields in Resonance, ground-based solution

• KAIST developed solution and started pilots, e.g. on city bus route

ERS definition: Electric road systems (ERS) can be described as electrified roads that support continuous or dynamic power transfer to vehicles from the roads on which they are driving –

Tongur & Engwall (2014)



Siemens ERS solution: eHighway

Electrification of hybrid trucks via an overhead catenary system

Advantages

High energy efficiency

Reduced operating costs

Swift integration into existing infrastructure

Safe, reliable & open technology

Hybrid-electric drive train

Electrification infrastructure

Active current collector

Electrification is especially attractive on highly frequented routes

Long-haul traffic Mine transport Shuttle transport

eHighway application fields

The development path of road electrification is likely to echo that of rail electrification a century ago

„Many different chickens and eggs“?



Electric Road Systems in Sweden Pre-Commercial Procurement of demonstration

Process Specifics

Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration) initiated an Innovation Procurement Process (IPP) for demonstration projects with electric road systems (ERS) for heavy transport (>16 tons) with a preliminary budget of 11,5 M€ Aim of the call: Realization of demonstration projects to evaluate different ERS-

technologies prior to a potential introduction on the Swedish road network

1) Each submission is followed by an evaluation by the customer with a Go/NoGo for the process as a whole and the individual competitors

Development project Test track of 1.3 miles with realistic highway conditions Technical assessment of complete system by TU Dresden & BASt (the German

Federal Highway Research Institute). Analysis of the economic and ecological impacts by German federal ministries

lead to approval of field trial plan by 2017 Cooperation with e.g. Scania and Volvo

eHighway is developing quickly and is ready for commercial use in near future

Further independent reports confirm economic and ecological benefits of system

Gladstein, Neandros and Associates report, commissioned by AQMD, confirmed economic attractiveness of Catenary Hybrid truck solution and showed market potential Swedish Transport Authority (TRV) has investigated eHighway with great interest.

Several reports on the topic have been published (regulation, first application, impact on national transport goals) Application for harbour links to industrial centers as well as mining connections are being

considered



Background Trucks are a key link between the ports and rail yards Air quality and GHG concerns AQMD (Air Quality Management District) is pursuing

environmental relief for the LA metropolitan area

Goal: To promote the implementation of zero emission goods movement technologies, and to demonstrate the most viable technology to be adopted for a future, regional zero-emissions corridor

Scope

One mile of infrastructure on Alameda St. next to the near-dock rail terminals. Integration on different hybrid and zero-emission trucks supplied by Volvo Trucks and

local truck manufacturers Construction work has started Demonstration period of 12 months for data collection and evaluation

Public road demonstration in the U.S.

Comments by SCE on CALSTART report

The Report‘s conclusory assertion that a Catenary System „may be too problematic and costly to be viable“ does not reflect current data and is internally inconsistent with other assertions and reommendations made in the Report The CalStart Report contains no citation to any available documentation or interviews with industry experts in support of the Report‘s conclusions regarding a Catenary System. Without such references, research, and/or other substantial evicdence supporting the Report‘s consideration of catenary truck design and flexibility features, the Report‘s conclusions lack support and are flawed.




Third, the assertion that the Catenary System may be too „costly“ (or, in terms of CEQA, „economically infeasible“) is wholly unsopported by information and references within the Report. Under CEQA, just because an alternative may be „costly“ does not render it economically infeasible. Relevant precedent mandates that „economic infeasibility“ be substantiated through a demonstration that a rational economic actor in the same circumstances would not undertake a certain action in light of the costs associated with it. For the Report to assert that a Caternary System alternative would cost a lot of money means nothing absent the contact of total Project costs, cost of other alternatives, and a supporting economic analysis finding that no rational actor would pursue such an alternative on that basis.




The Catenary System is a viable and feasible alternative and there is no substantial evidence documented within and/or referenced by the Report warranting its omission from the Report‘s Conclusions and Recommendations or dismissal from continued consideration and analysis in support of the Project On the contrary, SCE asserts that with reasoned consideration, the Project will find that the Catenary System is, in fact, feasible, especially when compared to other alternatives under consideration
