Description
Summary:Many governments are pushing for cleaner transportation. In particular, public transportation allows massive transportation of passengers, but it remains highly polluting, especially in high elevation cities. Thus, the progressive introduction of electric buses (EBS) will allow mitigating these environmental concerns. However, some technological problems must be addressed considering the massive penetration of EBs. The lack of flexibility and the time connection of scheduling for public transit make EBS harder than internal combustion ones. This work studies the impact of charging EBs at the bus station and suggests a new way to take EB aggregators into account to reduce energy costs while fulfilling grid restrictions. In addition, to find a different number of charging spots to be installed, a scheduling analysis is conducted.
