Abstract
Developing battery electric bus (BEB) has become a good means to help cut down the increasing greenhouse gas emissions and global crude oil demand. Due to the limited driving range and long charging time of BEB, battery swap station (BSS) seems the best option for BEBs to replenish energy at present. This paper presents a novel method to design the BSS for BEBs. Based on several assumptions and running rules for BEBs, the swapping and charging demand of BEB fleets are analysed to calculate the design scale of the BSS, which include the scales of battery packs, battery swapping system and battery charging system. As a case study, the BSS serving for 120 BEBs in World Expo 2010 Shanghai China, are simulated through a Matlab program. The results show that the simulation can provide an equivalent level of operation. And the scales calculated by the method are close to the actual values, which indicates that the design method we proposed is effective.
