    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage medium for improving the efficiency of charging an electric vehicle (EV) that follows a prescribed route. The efficiency of charging an electric vehicle is improved by receiving telemetry data from the EV, receiving charger data from a plurality of charges along the prescribed route, determining a charging plan for the EV based on a total cost per distance (TCD) of travel over each of the plurality of route segments that comprise the prescribed route and controlling a particular charger along the prescribed route to charge the EV according to the charging plan. To enable electrical arbitrage, both the EVs and wireless power charging stations installed in the ground are equipped for bidirectional charging. An individual EV (e.g., a transit bus on with set route and schedule) may store, convey, and discharge electrical power via a bi-directional charger using a predetermined charging strategy.

    摘要: A contactless electric power supply device of the present invention is provided with: multiple supply coils and an alternating current power source arranged on a fixed section; multiple receiving coils and a receiving circuit provided on a moving body; and a face-to-face power supply section provided for each of the multiple supply coils and configured to supply alternating current power from the alternating current power source to the supply coils only when detecting a face-to-face state between the supply coil and the receiving coil; wherein separation distances and lengths in the moving direction of the multiple supply coils and multiple receiving coils are set to satisfy face-to-face conditions, and a receiving circuit converts alternating current power received by at least one of the receiving coils in the face-to-face state and generates a receiving voltage at least equal to a driving voltage.
