Abstract
The adoption of Battery Electric Buses (BEBs) in electric public transit systems presents a significant opportunity for advancing sustainable transportation. This study introduces a holistic framework for joint optimization of charging infrastructure, charging scheduling, and integration of renewable energy resources (RES), considering impacts on Power distribution network (PDN). To address the complex optimization, a decomposition approach is employed to linearize the problem and divide it into master and subproblems for efficient resolution. A case study in Skövde, Sweden demonstrates that the proposed methodology optimizes charging infrastructure deployment and scheduling to reduce the overall system costs. Meanwhile, high charging demand from BEBs in some periods to fulfil operation scheduling may result in violation of technical constraints of the PDN (more than 4%), without RES. The incorporation and optimization of RES with battery energy storage can cater to spatiotemporal charging demand of BEB while enhancing stability and safety of PDN.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
