Abstract

The ongoing practical integration of renewable energy systems in power supply as well as alternative drives in the transport sector are of major importance to cope with the climate change. Both are addressed within this paper, since the major goal of the project at hand – which will be presented in the following – is firstly, the replacement of conventional trolleybuses with auxiliary combustion engines by fully electric driven battery-trolleybuses and secondly, the implementation of photovoltaic (PV) systems and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations within the respective overhead grid. In order to ensure a reliable operation despite the increased number of loads a comprehensive monitoring and control system is required to avoid overloads. Furthermore, the control system is supposed to manage the battery charging for the new battery-trolleybuses to secure a sufficient state of charge for the sections without overhead lines. Since the positions for PV systems and EV charging stations are not determined yet, it is of crucial importance to figure out at which locations the aforementioned components can operate the most grid supportive, respectively, the less grid harming. This paper intends to demonstrate how the optimal placement and sizing can be reached.
