Abstract:

Applying battery electric buses in city is a good means to reduce the increasing greenhouse gas emissions and crude oil dependence. Limited by the driving range and charging time, battery swap station seems to be the best option for battery electric buses to replenish energy currently. This paper presents a novel method to design the electric public transit system with battery swap mode, which is comprised of battery electric buses, routes, scheduling, battery swap station, etc. In addition, new routing and scheduling strategies are redesigned for the battery electric bus fleets. Based on analysis of swapping and charging demand, this paper proposes a simple algorithm to calculate the optimal scales of battery swap station, including scales of battery swapping system, battery charging system and battery packs, and power capacity of output. In a case study of Xuejiadao battery swap station serving for 6 routes in Qingdao, China, a simulation program is established to evaluate the validity of this method. The results reflect that it can avoid waste of scales meanwhile meeting an equivalent state of operation demand. Moreover, sensitivity analyses are made to the scales with changing values of battery capacity and charging current. It suggests that the scales and cost of battery swap station can be effectively reduced with the development of power battery manufacture and charging technology. Besides, advancing battery technology seems to promise larger impacts than the charging technology.
