Base station wind power battery bus

How much does a bus battery system cost?

A fleet of 91 BEBs with heterogeneous battery capacities is required to satisfy operation. Most buses (59.34%) are equipped with 100 kWh battery capacity. The distribution of the BEB system costs is presented in Table 2, with a total annual cost of $6,959,381.19.

How much battery capacity does a bus need?

The optimal BEB system under the nominal operation required five heterogeneous charging stations equipped with eight poles. A fleet of 91 BEBs with heterogeneous battery capacities is required to satisfy operation. Most buses (59.34%) are equipped with 100 kWh battery capacity.

Are battery electric bus transit systems resilient?

A resilient battery electric bus transit system design and configuration is proposed. The model is robust against simultaneous charging disruptions without interrupting daily operation. Indeed, additional marginal cost is required, yet it prevents significant service reductions.

Are battery electric buses a viable alternative to fossil-fueled buses?

During the past decades, battery electric buses (BEBs) have been identified as a feasible alternative to fossil-fueled buses 5, 6. Moreover, BEBs’ market share is growing rapidly (91.4% of the electric bus market in 2020) owing to their energy efficiency, quiet operation, low maintenance cost, and zero tailpipe emissions 7.
