Summary:

In the recent years, Electric-mobility has been a trending aspect in the transportation sector. Increase in the air pollution by the use of combustion vehicles resulted in the initiation of various subsidiaries and norms by the governments across the world. To bring an eco-friendly transportation, many cities across the world are trying to incorporate the electric vehicles in the public transportation system. In India, State Road Transport Undertakings (SRTU's) have started adopting electric buses. One of the critical requirement for successful operation of electric vehicles is charging infrastructure, which is required for charging the vehicles. There are various charging technologies available in the industry.This paper presents a case study for evaluating pantograph based electric bus charging systems for Patna project and compares the charging schedule, charger infrastructure sizing, CAPEX and OPEX with respect to traditional proven CCS2 charging technology. As the pantograph systems allow for charging at higher currents the opportunity charging time is significantly reduced. A detailed study has been conducted by route wise to project the advantages with pantograph systems. The objective of this case study is to validate the feasibility and cost evaluation of Pantograph charging over plugin charging
