Battery sizing for electric vehicles based on real driving pattern in Thailand

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to carry out a battery sizing based on the fulfilment of power requirement from the representative real driving pattern in Thailand. The real driving cycle data i.e. velocity and vehicle global position were collected through a GPS-based equipment, VBOX. The driving data transportation services provided in a campus of university based in the rural area of Bangkok were collected from three different types of i.e. closed-area, inter-city and local feed. Three campus driving data types were gathered to achieve a suitable dimensioning of battery systems for electrified university public buses.
