Remarkable changes of worldwide climate patterns due to rapid acceleration of global warming process warns the world to reduce greenhouse gas such as CO₂. Many studies for the CO₂ issue have indicated that the automotive industry is one of the major factors. For this reason, researchers have made great efforts to alleviate the dependency on the hydrocarbon based fuels to reduce the CO₂ emissions by using alternative fuels or electricity. Among many techniques, electric vehicles attracts huge attention with rapid developments in power electronics and motor technologies. However the battery technology is still struggling to provide dependable energy storage system for the electric vehicle. With an obvious megatrend of urbanization, a battery swappable smart electric bus has been developed as a one of the solution to address the problem
In this paper, for the purpose of ensuring the stability of power supply and demand at a particular region when the maximum power demand occurs the battery swappable smart electric bus system is proposed as a solution proven high leverage value as a public sector. As one of the methodology for this, in order to maximize the efficiency of energy use and eliminate the instability of power supply and demand, ESS of the battery swappable smart electric buses utilizing infrastructure of battery swapping system was analyzed for utilization as measures.
