- •
A twofold modelling exercise is developed to investigate the implementation of battery electric buses (BEBs) in a full transit network.
- •
A real-time simulation model is developed for a full transit BEBs operation to investigate (1) operational feasibility and (2) grid impact analysis.
- •
Three BEB concepts: flash, opportunity, and overnight are investigate using five different configurations.
- •
Results show that flash and opportunity BEBs are more feasible for full transit operation, yet they suffer from high and intermittent power demands.
- •
Taken together, operational feasibility and grid impact models generated contradictory recommendations for suitable BEB configuration.
