Abstract
The innovations of battery and charging technologies facilitate worldwide bus electrification, which can conserve energy and reduce emissions. The emergence of wireless power transfer technology offers the potential to alleviate bus range anxiety. This paper constructs the layout models of static wireless and centralized charging stations based on the seasonal differences associated with battery capacities and passenger flow, which aims to obtain the bus charging station layout scheme of the lowest cost. Then, the heuristic algorithm is utilized to solve the layout models as the mixed linear programming problem. This study results confirm that the combined layout of static wireless and centralized charging stations is more advantageous than a single model. Finally, the required fixed cost of supporting bus system operation is explored for future capital reserves.
