Charging operations in battery electric bus systems at the depot

This paper analyzes the effect of limited range battery electric bus on operation services charged at garage. A model has been built to calculate performance routes according type charging scheme. It evaluates total cost service, considering necessary resources due limitations and constraints. Based analysis real data a line in city Barcelona, diesel or hybrid vehicles are still found be more competitive than because acquisition costs electrical technology. The study shows that garage, without being most profitable option priori, is adequate when design parameters route fall below certain values.
