Abstract

Battery-swapping technology addresses key limitations of electrified agricultural machinery: battery energy density and efficient energy replenishment. This paper integrates an optimization algorithm for dispatchable battery-swapping into an electric farming simulation framework. A three-year simulation compares the optimized strategy, which leverages batteries for both field operations and energy trading, against rule-based baselines that use batteries only for field operations. Results show the optimized system achieves 7 3-mathbf2 6 1 % higher net energy trading margins through three mechanisms: 4 7 - 5 5 % lower import costs, 10-42 €/MWh higher export prices, and 6 5 - 2 5 4 % greater export volumes. Battery export revenue alone... (More)

Battery-swapping technology addresses key limitations of electrified agricultural machinery: battery energy density and efficient energy replenishment. This paper integrates an optimization algorithm for dispatchable battery-swapping into an electric farming simulation framework. A three-year simulation compares the optimized strategy, which leverages batteries for both field operations and energy trading, against rule-based baselines that use batteries only for field operations. Results show the optimized system achieves 7 3-mathbf2 6 1 % higher net energy trading margins through three mechanisms: 4 7 - 5 5 % lower import costs, 10-42 €/MWh higher export prices, and 6 5 - 2 5 4 % greater export volumes. Battery export revenue alone contributes mathbf{0. 5 5 - 0. 8 1 % of total revenue. Despite higher battery degradation, the financial gains substantially justify the trade-off, establishing genuine economic viability for battery-swapping-equipped farms engaged in grid trading.
