Optimizing Battery Electric Bus System Configuration in Transit: A Comparative Assessment

Research on the battery electric bus (BEB) system design still requires further improvement. This study's contribution is to compare the BEB system configuration from the economic, utility grid, and environmental perspectives. Furthermore, the proposed models are formulated to address the BEB system component sizing (battery capacity and fast-chargers rated power and number) and the energy storage systems (ESS) implementation parameters (ESS rated energy and energy storage charger (ESC) rated power). Therefore, the value of the ESS system in the utility grid and the GHG emissions can be analyzed. In addition, this study estimates the optimal charging schedule (time of day and duration) by applying a continuous and partial charging strategy.
