Simulation for the preliminary sizing of fleet and energy demand of the electric bus system in Greater Valparaíso, Chile

This study presents a technical-operational simulation to support the transition to electric buses in Greater Valparaíso, considering two transport lines (A and B) and two energy consumption scenarios (optimistic at 0.83 kWh/km and conservative at 1.05 kWh/km). In the higher consumption scenario, a failure to meet the minimum battery level (25% state of charge) was [...]
