Tóm tắt

Transit electrification is difficult, requiring the consideration of many factors including route dynamics, vehicle utilization, and local ambient temperatures. Incumbent planning tools typically rely upon static vehicle efficiency numbers which do not consider local factors specific to each fleet. This paper summarizes a collaboration between NREL and Microgrid Labs, which produced an automated sizing tool capable of producing vehicle battery and motor sizing for drop-in electrification. Furthermore, the workflow also exports the electric-vehicle supply equipment needed to support fleet electrification. The paper summarizes the model theory and includes a sample pilot study performed in support of the Via Mobility transit fleet.
