Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have been riding buses for more than 350 years. Billions of people climb aboard buses every day. Today’s buses guzzle gas or diesel made from fossil fuels that may be used up within 50 years. Buses also release tons of pollution, making people sick and causing changes to the Earth’s climate. Many people believe the future of bus transportation is electric. Electric buses are better for people’s health and for the planet. Companies around the world are testing and building electric buses. Some prototypes even drive themselves. Electric buses may be coming to the streets in your town soon.
Download or read book Electric Buses written by Kevin Desmond and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-06-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exponential success of battery electric buses calls for a reappraisal of their history. When, in the 19th century, the horse-drawn omnibus was first replaced by motive power, battery-powered buses and streetcars were presented as an alternative to the tramcar. However, operators soon realized the limited autonomy of the heavy batteries and opted for gasoline engines. Even with the OPEC crisis in the 1970s, various experiments with battery buses did not fully meet expectations. However, with the arrival of the lithium-ion battery in 2007, manufacturers in China and elsewhere began to deliver literally thousands of battery buses to transit authorities around the world. This comprehensive history traces the roots of the electric bus from 1564 to its resounding success in 2019.

Download or read book Assessment of Hybrid electric Transit Bus Technology written by Nigel N. Clark and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2009 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TCRP Report 132: Assessment of Hybrid-Electric Transit Bus Technology provides decisionmaking guidelines coupled with a comprehensive life cycle cost model (LCCM) to assist transit managers in evaluating, selecting, and implementing hybrid-electric technology options for transit buses. The guidelines and the accompanying LCC model resulted from the gathering of site data coupled with a comprehensive review of both capital requirements and operating costs of hybrid-electric buses in comparison with those powered by traditional diesel engines. Information grew out of a sound, engineering-based, independent technical evaluation of the costs, performance, and reliability of hybrid-electric transit bus technology in actual service. The LCC model, contained on the accompanying CD-ROM (CRP-CD-71), allows the user to compare the total life cycle costs across several cost categories for up to 6 different "purchase scenarios." These scenarios let the user decide when the purchases will be made, the types of buses to be compared, the work load of the buses, and many other cost inputs in determining benefits and costs associated with alternative purchasing strategies.

Download or read book Electric Power Systems written by Alexandra von Meier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-06-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clear explanation of the technology for producing and delivering electricity Electric Power Systems explains and illustrates how the electric grid works in a clear, straightforward style that makes highly technical material accessible. It begins with a thorough discussion of the underlying physical concepts of electricity, circuits, and complex power that serves as a foundation for more advanced material. Readers are then introduced to the main components of electric power systems, including generators, motors and other appliances, and transmission and distribution equipment such as power lines, transformers, and circuit breakers. The author explains how a whole power system is managed and coordinated, analyzed mathematically, and kept stable and reliable. Recognizing the economic and environmental implications of electric energy production and public concern over disruptions of service, this book exposes the challenges of producing and delivering electricity to help inform public policy decisions. Its discussions of complex concepts such as reactive power balance, load flow, and stability analysis, for example, offer deep insight into the complexity of electric grid operation and demonstrate how and why physics constrains economics and politics. Although this survival guide includes mathematical equations and formulas, it discusses their meaning in plain English and does not assume any prior familiarity with particular notations or technical jargon. Additional features include: * A glossary of symbols, units, abbreviations, and acronyms * Illustrations that help readers visualize processes and better understand complex concepts * Detailed analysis of a case study, including a Web reference to the case, enabling readers to test the consequences of manipulating various parameters With its clear discussion of how electric grids work, Electric Power Systems is appropriate for a broad readership of professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, government agency managers, environmental advocates, and consumers.

Download or read book Analysis of Electric Bus Deployments at Transit Agencies written by Brittney N. Glick and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transit agencies across the country are turning to zero-emission electric buses at a much faster rate than school districts. This technical memorandum summarizes transit agency experiences with the purchase, operation, and support of electric buses. These experiences can help identify potential concerns for school districts planning for the use of electric buses. Electric buses have better fuel economy than buses fueled by other sources, but they have reduced range. Transit agencies must be prepared for the reduced range and be proactive in planning which routes the buses will be used on and when charging will be needed. While electricity prices are generally lower than other fuel costs, transit agencies should be mindful of higher demand charges that will be applied when buses are charged during peak periods.
