Systematic planning of the supporting charging infrastructure for the electrified bus transportation system is required. Considering the number of city e-buses and the land scarcity, large-scale bus charging stations were preferred and adopted by the city. Compared with other EVs (electric vehicles), e-buses have operational tasks and different charging behavior. Since large-scale electricity-consuming stations will result in an intense burden on the power grid, it is necessary to consider both the transportation network and the power grid when planning the charging infrastructure. A cost-minimization model to jointly determine the deployment of bus charging stations and a grid connection scheme was put forward, which is essentially a three-fold assignment model. The problem was formulated as a mixed-integer second-order cone programming model, and a “No R” algorithm was proposed to improve the computational speed further. Computational studies, including a case study of Shenzhen, were implemented and the impacts of EV technology advancements on the cost and the infrastructure layout were also investigated. Keywords: charging station; electric bus; transportation network; power grid; location 1. Introduction 1.1. 100% Electric Bus City Today, problems associated with internal combustion engine vehicles have become severe and include oil shortage and vehicle emission pollution [1,2]. PM 2.5 pollution concerns many Chinese people who are living in cities. PM 2.5, which is particle matter in air with a diameter no greater than 2.5 microns, can easily absorb toxic substances that are introduced into humans’ pulmonary alveoli when we breathe them in. PM 2.5 comes from coal burning, vehicle emission, biomass burning, etc. In most cities in China, emissions from coal burning contribute the most to PM 2.5 levels. However, in big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, vehicle emission is the biggest contributor among the sources of PM 2.5, accounting for 45.0%, 29.2%, 21.7%, and 52.1% in those cities, respectively [3]. Bus transportation is an important mode of travel, and it can mitigate city traffic congestion effectively. Public transportation, including bus transportation, is also one of the main modes of travel. For example, in the central areas of Beijing, journeys on public transportation accounted for 72% among Sustainability 2019, 11, 4713; doi:10.3390/su11174713 www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability SustainabilitySustainability 20192019,, 1111,, xx FORFOR PEERPEER REVIEWREVIEW 22 ofof 2828 Sustainability 2019, 11, 4713 2 of 27 travel.travel.

The underlying goals of the project were to develop analytical tools to support the integration of battery electric buses. ECONS-M projects the operating costs of electric bus and the potential emission reductions compared to diesel vehicles for a chosen transit route. CFM aims to predict the battery pack lifetime expected under the specific driving conditions of the route. A case study was run for a transit route in Victoria, BC chosen as a candidate to deploy a 2013 BYD electric bus. The novelty of this work mainly lays in its application to battery electric buses, as well as in the coupling of the ECONS-M and the electrochemical model to predict how long the batteries can last if the electric bus is deployed on a specific transit route everyday.

  • Master Thesis Master's Programme in Industrial Management and Innovation, 60 Credits
    Master Thesis Master's Programme in Industrial Management and Innovation, 60 credits Status of The Technology for Electrical Road Focusing on Wireless Charging International Outlook Thesis in Industrial Management and Innovation, 15 Credits Halmstad 2020-06-14 Padma Kumar Parameswaran Thampi, Thomas Paul Thodukulam Poulose HALMSTAD UNIVERSITY Abstract The transportation sector has a vital role in today’s society and accounts for 20 % of our global total energy consumption. It is also one of the most greenhouse gas emission intensive sectors as almost 95 % of its energy originates from petroleum-based fuels. Due to the possible harmful nature of greenhouse gases, there is a need for a transition to more sustainable transportation alternatives. A possible alternative to the conventional petroleum- based road transportation is, implementation of Electric Road Systems (ERS) in combination with electric vehicles (Evs). There are currently three proven ERS technologies, namely, conductive power transfer through overhead lines, conductive power transfer from rails in the road and inductive power transfer through the road. The wireless charging or inductive charging electric vehicles (EV) are a type of EVs with a battery which is charged from a charging infrastructure and using the wireless power transfer technology. The wireless charging EVs are classified as stationary or dynamic charging EVs. The stationary charging EVs charge wirelessly when they are parked as well as dynamic charging EVs can charge while they are in motion. Number of studies have reported that, one of the main benefits of dynamic charging is, it allows smaller as well as lighter batteries to be used due to the frequent charging using in the charging infrastructure embedded under roads.

  • Public Transport Bus Can Be Charged Wirelessly On-The-Go
    Innovation > Telecommunications > Public transport bus can be charged wirelessly on-the-go PUBLIC TRANSPORT BUS CAN BE CHARGED WIRELESSLY ON-THE- GO TELECOMMUNICATIONS Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have developed the OLEV, an electric bus designed for mass transit that can be charged wirelessly, while stationary or moving. Although vehicles such as the lightweight Navia shuttle have shown the feasibility of electric vehicles as public transport, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have now developed the OLEV, an electric bus designed for mass transit that can be charged wirelessly, while stationary or moving. Standing for Online Electric Vehicle, the idea for the OLEV was inspired by previous transportation devices such as commercial trams and shuttle buses created at KAIST. Where the trams use overhead power cables to run, a new route located in the city of Gumi in South Korea includes magnetic field resonance cables buried under the road surface. These cables are able to charge the batteries of the OLEV as it runs along the route through inductive charging. This means that the vehicle can travel along the 24-kilometer route without having to stop to be recharged, which in turn allows the developers to use a battery that is one-third of the size of those included in typical electric cars, reducing the weight of the vehicle. The transport option was launched to the public in August and the team behind the OLEV want to introduce ten more buses by 2015. Could this idea provide the basis for more viable electricity- based public and private transport in the future? 12th September 2013 Website: www.kaist.edu Contact: www.twitter.com/KAISTofficial .

However, electrification of public transportation leads to a phenomenon of peak load that impacts the stability of low voltage (LV) feeders. In this context, the effective integration of an energy storage system (ESS) and photovoltaic (PV) in a bus depot charging ecosystem can lead to i) peak load reduction and ii) charging cost reduction with low carbon emission. Therefore, a limited PEB charge scheduling algorithm is proposed for: i) bus depot operator (BDO) profit maximization and ii) grid stability enhancement considering the constraints of PEB charging and grids. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for BDO profit maximization has been formulated and analyzed using IBM ILOG studio with CPLEX solver. Simulation has been performed for SkyBus electric fleet using real-world data such as actual bus arrival and departure schedules under diverse traffic, number of passengers, trip duration, daily load profile, solar radiation profile, and benchmark storage price.

New energy technologies in urban mobility are being introduced, as evidenced by the electric vehicle. We evaluated the positive environmental effects in terms of CO2 emissions that would be produced by the replacement of conventional urban transport bus fleets by electric buses. The simulation of an electric urban bus conceptual model is presented as a case study. The model is validated using the speed and height profiles of the most representative route within the city of Madrid—the C1 line. We assumed that the vehicle fleet is charged using the electric grid at night, when energy demand is low, the cost of energy is low, and energy is produced with a large provision of renewable energy, principally wind power. For the results, we considered the percentage of fleet replacement and the Spanish electricity mix.
