Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The purpose of the project has been to develop a prototype for smart charging of truck batteries. A system solution has been developed and a prototype has been built.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Based on completed inventories, it has been established that the electricity consumption for a truck charge is between 20-35 kWh/charge (varies depending on the amount of charge). Power usage for a charger was between 9-14 kW. Expected effects were to develop a system solution to shift the time of the charge and reduce the amount of maintenance charge. Continued work will be carried out to verify the functionality of the prototype.
Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project began by developing a theoretical system solution, then inventories of two different truck loaders were carried out to provide input for the design of the system solution. Interviews between Moelven and Sweco have been conducted to determine system requirements based on the users´ perspective. A risk analysis was carried out of the system solution and then a prototype was built and programming started.
