Optimization of Charging Stations on a Route with Electric Buses

2019

Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2019 This studyconsiders placement of electric charging stations for a public electric bus system with the intention of minimizing the charging power. This is an optimization problem where fully electric buses with opportunity charging strategy are considered.The developed strategies are proposed for an existing bus route in Oslo city, Norway. Batteryand chargingspecifications were determinedbased on a literature review. Measurements regarding velocity of the bus and altitude of the route were performed. This data where further used to determine the energy needsfor an electric bus. Four cases were formedregarding different batter…
