Mobile charging station for electric tractors

Abstract

The paper examines the issues of providing electrical energy to tractors operating on electric traction. Problems associated with the lack of infrastructure necessary for charging and recharging traction batteries are described. The rationale for the operation of electric tractors in agriculture is given. The article provides an overview of the available types of charging stations, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as some technical characteristics. The development and use of mobile charging stations for charging and recharging traction batteries of electric tractors directly in the field is substantiated. The main results provide information about the designed mobile charging station. The article contains a description of the design and composition of a mobile charging station, through which traction batteries are charged directly in the field. The rationale for choosing the type of charging station and the method of supplying it with electrical energy is presented. Particular attention is paid to the rational choice of storage batteries that will be located in the charging station. An assessment of the used rechargeable batteries is carried out, their main advantages and disadvantages are given, as well as the type of batteries chosen for use is justified.
