“…In [7], it is suggested that the trolley-bus catenary grid in Solingen, Germany can be simultaneously used for stationary EV charging. The study suggests the use of smart EV charging strategy to account for the fluctuations in available power capacity due to operating trolley-buses on the sections.…”

DC traction networks that supply power to trolleybuses, tramcars and trains can be simultaneously used to integrate fast-charging stations for Electric Vehicles (EVs). This strategy improves the traction grid utilization of urban transportation systems. In addition, it offers a potential solution to the increasing requirement of charging infrastructure due to proliferation of plug-in EVs and the associated impact on the existing distribution network. This paper suggests that the use of multi-port converter based integration of EV chargers with dc trolley-bus network can be a preferred solution in terms of defined efficiency boundary. A sensitivity analysis to charging power, substation distance and section length of overhead contact system is performed in comparison to the conventional two-port dc/dc converter based EV integration.
