“…Hybrid buses let maximally reduce fuel consumption, which leads to the minimum emissions release to the atmosphere [5,[29][30][31]46]. Hybrid power plant in the bus allows saving up to 60% of energy as compared to diesel units, fuel consumption reduces up to 30%, and harmful emissions into the atmosphere diminish by 70%.…”

“…Therefore, hybrid technologies (the combination of an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor) and electrical technologies have been applied not only in passenger cars but also in buses. Hybrid buses let maximally reduce fuel consumption, which results in minimum emissions released to the atmosphere [5,25,[29][30][31][32]. Thus, hybrid power-unit saves up to 60% of energy in comparison with traditional diesel units (herewith consumption of fuel decreases to 30%), let alone the reduction of polluting emissions to the atmosphere by 70%.…”

“…The expenses for fuel per day are approximately $50. If we choose a hybrid bus, for operation of which not only a diesel but also an electric engine with the capacity of 180 kW is used, the approximate saving of diesel gas oil will be 40% [5,7,29,43,44]. Thus, the expenses for diesel gas oil for a hybrid bus on the given route will amount to $30.…”

Reduction of non-renewable sources of energy and the ecological state of metropolises have become the cause of the search for optimal solutions for introduction of energyefficient and environmentally friendly technologies for urban bus transport, which is the purpose of this work. A review of environmentally friendly buses has shown that electric buses (electrobuses) are the most perspective. However, rapid replacement of all the buses with electrobuses is impossible because of their high cost. A comparative analysis of the operating costs of different types of buses of the same destination and class has been carried out in order to choose the optimal variant. Thus, one route of 4.23 km in length was chosen in Kharkiv (Ukraine). Experimental and calculated data showed that a minibus converted into an electrobus is the most acceptable means for urban passenger transportation. Ultra-capacitors are suggested as an energy source. The conceptual diagram of the model of such a bus is presented and the technical requirements for its components are determined. The data and proposals are useful for Ukraine and for countries with low economic development that cannot quickly replace old diesel buses with new, environmentally friendly, electrobuses. The results of this work are the basis for further research and development.

“…There have been several similar attempts to utilize the plug-in or hybrid solutions of passenger buses in the city environment to have more clean transport systems; one can refer to [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] for some examples. However, plug-in buses are in their early stages in the application perspective, and this project is one of the few examples of these buses being in service.…”

Power Quality Issues of a Battery Fast Charging Station for a Fully-Electric Public Transport System in Gothenburg City

An automatic fast charger station with a power level of 120 kW is developed for city Bus Line 60 in Gothenburg, Sweden. There are some power quality issues towards the utility grid during the charger operation. The aim of this paper is to explain the project and to present the measurement results with respect to power quality issues. The main specifications of the battery, charger, charging infrastructure and bus route are explained. The measurement results show that the harmonic emission is within the prescribed limit despite the high amount of low-frequency harmonics because of a passive diode rectification. It is suggested to replace the passive diode rectifier with an active front-end converter to eliminate low order current harmonics and to obtain a unity power factor operation. The main contribution of this work is to demonstrate a practical example of an electric charging system for an electric public transport system in Gothenburg.
