After the algorithm has been followed, the outputs for each time step value that are sent back to the matching stage are, Residual Demand (km/h) = residual Percentage Tank Contents = (tank x 100) / Total Storage Fuel Used (litres or kWh) = fuel used Total Fuel Used (litres or kWh) = Total Fuel Used + fuel used At the matching stage, it is not useful to display a graph of the vehicle profile of use, as this would be exactly as defined by the user at the demand definition stage. A more useful output of this section to the matching process is a graph of the percentage tank contents, which shows if the chosen number and type of vehicles, and the refuelling policy chosen are appropriate. Overall fuel consumption information is also given. 5.1.4 Electric Vehicle Charge Algorithm Due to the limitations of the amount and types of information that are readily available for electric vehicle batteries, existing battery models [4] cannot be used for the recharging of electric vehicles. A different model has, therefore, been devised which allows the recharging power requirements of the vehicles to be calculated using available data. There are two ways to determine the storage capacity of an electric vehicle. Firstly, the total capacity can be found using, TS = SC x RV x NV (5.11) Where TS = Total Storage (Wh) SC = Storage Capacity (Ah) RV = Rated Voltage (V) 115
