Master\u2019s student Bruno Nolte from TU Delft conducted his graduation research at ElaadNL, focusing on the potential and electricity demand of Electric Road Systems (ERS). These systems allow electric trucks to charge their batteries while driving, for example via overhead powerlines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The study shows that as long as there is no extensive and continuous ERS network, only a part of truck trips would be suitable for this form of charging. For the corridor between Rotterdam-Maasvlakte and Venlo, ERS could be a viable solution for about 5 percent of freight traffic. The electricity demand on this route is expected to be concentrated mainly between Botlek and Ridderkerk, with a peak in the morning between 8:00 and 11:30 a.m..<\/strong><\/p>\n

ERS does not allow for grid-aware charging, meaning the charging demand cannot be shifted to the nighttime hours when the grid is less loaded.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
