Optimal electric bus fleet scheduling for a route with charging facility sharing

Jinhua Ji et al.

Summary: To address the shortage of charging facilities for electric cars (ECs) and maximize the utilization of charging facilities for electric buses (EBs), a charging facility sharing strategy is proposed. This strategy allows ECs to use EBs' charging piles for a fee during specific time windows. A nonlinear integer programming model is developed to determine the vehicle types allowed to be charged in each time window, allocate daily service trips and charging trips to each EB, and optimize the overall costs and revenues. An algorithm combining enumeration method and branch and price is used to solve the optimization model. The proposed method is verified using a real EB route, demonstrating its effectiveness in increasing revenue for public transit companies and facilitating EC charging without disrupting EB schedules.

The Dilemma of C-Rate and Cycle Life for Lithium-Ion Batteries under Low Temperature Fast Charging

Zhenhai Gao et al.

Summary: In this paper, the impact of fast charging on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in low-temperature environments is systematically analyzed, and the competition between low temperature and C-rate on capacity degradation is investigated.
