Application of Traction Supply System for Charging Electric Cars

The development of electromobility involves the electric cars charging infrastructure. increase number chargers poses new demands for AC power grid, especially in regard to its capacity delivering high peak power. As an alternative public urban electrified transportation systems (trams, trolleybuses, and metro) can be used supplying chargers. article discusses four options integrating with a traction supply system. option connecting charger overhead line has been selected due spatial availability source possibility use regenerative braking energy charging. A set criteria developed analysing capability system feed An exemplary feasibility analysis was carried out trolleybus Gdynia, Poland. impact installing station on specific parameters predicted using present-state recordings electrical assumed study shows that every section considered fast-charging station, which provides opportunities expanding stations network Gdynia.
