The impact of working conditions package traction on the exploitation of buses with electric drive

Abstract

This paper described the impact of the traction batteries operating conditions on their parameters and the operation of the electric bus. The author in introduction pointed out the advantages of transport based on vehicles with electric drive. He also said that most of the electric buses disadvantages is related to the batteries. The most popular types of energy storage devices used in electric buses have been presented. The rest of this paper is mentioned a number of factors and their impact on the battery exploitation. Are described, among others, temperature, number of cycles, depth of discharge, the operating current. Problems arising from the use of lithium-ion batteries can be reduced by proper selection of its type preceded by an analysis of its future operating conditions.
