OUR SOLUTION
Full scale bus depot and bus line electrification
Some cities are only starting to buy their first 1-2 electric buses, others already plan to fully turn their fleet electric. If you belong to the 2nd group, we offer you support in planning and execution of a complete bus depot electrification. It is as complex as it sounds, but we are here to make it easier for you and most of all, to make sure that not only your buses are charged when they need to be charged, but that you use your resources in the most efficient way possible.
Savings and security
With correctly designed bus depot infrastructure you do not need emergency buses as a cushion from un-charged buses. Well-electrified bus depot means optimised spending and reliable operations, all in one. When planning full depot electrification we take into account:
-
Number of buses
-
Bus schedules
-
Battery capacity
-
Power available
-
Parking organisation
UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
Matrix charging
Matrix charging – i.e. charging infrastructure that is built around the principle of power sharing between charge points is crucial for an efficient and optimised bus depot electrification.
Key Idea
Low power single chargers are connected into a system, power flows in a pre-defined way between different chargers. Each charge point is capable of delivering 4-5 times as much power as the individual charger, with which it is associated.
CRUCIAL FOR YOUR FLEET
Slow and fast charging in one
While the standard power of each charger allows for slow charging of the entire fleet, the charging power of individual chargers usually does not take into consideration unpredicted events. In case of unexpected delay of the bus, such as traffic jams, protests or road works, the whole charging plan can go into disarray. Matrix charging enables you to increase charging power of any given charger within minutes. You can do it in a targeted and time-restrained way, adjusting the power to all the buses charging based on their schedule and SOC.
