日內瓦的15秒閃充電動公車 - 公車

這篇算是半年前的舊聞了

不過是一個高瓦數快速充電的例子

日內瓦與總部位於瑞士的ABB簽訂了一份價值1600萬美元的合約

要建設一條從市郊住宅區到機場的電動公車路線

這條路線包含了13個站，每天運量將超過10000人次

每座公車站牌都是一座600kW的充電站

公車到站後用不到一秒的時間連接在車頂的充電座，然後充電15秒

這樣就能提供公車至少能行駛到下一站的電量

然後在終點站時只需要4-5分鐘就能把電池完全充滿快速再度發車

預計以每十分鐘一班的間隔發車營運

這與柴油公車相比，每年預計能減少1000噸二氧化碳

車頂上的充電線，目測應該是沒2L寶特瓶那樣粗

Geneva's new 'flash-charge' electric buses refuel in 15 seconds

Geneva will add a dozen electric buses to its municipal service after
awarding a contract to Switzerland-based ABB to set up a so-called
"flash-charging" network. Transports Publics Genevois (TPG) awarded a
contract worth more than $16 million to ABB, who will work with
Switzerland-based bus maker HESS. The award follows up a pilot program
run by Switzerland's second-largest city.

The buses will be used for a route that connects Geneva's airport with a
new suburb called Praille-Acacias-Vernet, which will have about 11,000
residential units as well as offices housing about 11,000 workers. The
line is estimated to serve more than 10,000 passengers a day, and will
include 13 "flash-charging" stations. At each station, the bus will
recharge for 15 seconds, and the 600-kilowatt blast (five times what the
Tesla Superchargers deploy) will supply enough energy to get the bus to
the next station. At the end of the line, the buses, which will run
approximately every 10 minutes, can be recharged in about five minutes
via the flash chargers.

Once running, the project will cut carbon dioxide emissions by as much as
1,000 tons per year compared to diesel buses. In addition to building the
charging network, ABB will supply roof-mounted battery units for energy
storage. Take a look at ABB's press release below.

ABB is the world's largest maker of power-transmission gear. In 2013, the
company won a contract from Fastned to build enough fast-charging
stations to ensure that all Dutch citizens were within 50 kilometers (31
miles) of one. The year before, ABB reached an agreement with Nissan
North America to test used lithium-ion electric-vehicle batteries in
order to find out if they could be re-used for energy storage.
ABB wins 1st commercial order for breakthrough 15-second flash charging
technology to enable CO2-free public transport in Geneva

Revolutionary technology requires no overhead lines and offers silent and
zero-emission mass transit solution as a viable alternative to diesel
buses, providing a model for future urban transportation

TOSA bus
Zurich, Switzerland, July 15, 2016 – ABB has been awarded orders
totaling more than $16 million by Transports Publics Genevois (TPG),
Geneva's public transport operator, and Swiss bus manufacturer HESS, to
provide flash charging and on-board electric vehicle technology for 12
TOSA (Trolleybus Optimisation Système Alimentation) fully electric buses
(e-buses) which will run on Line 23, connecting Geneva's airport with
suburban Geneva. The e-buses can help save as much as 1,000 tons of
carbon dioxide per year, when compared with existing diesel buses.

ABB will deliver and deploy 13 flash-charging stations along an urban
transit bus route, as well as three terminal and four depot feeding
stations. This will be the world's fastest flash-charging connection
technology taking less than 1 second to connect the bus to the charging
point. The onboard batteries can then be charged in 15 seconds with a
600-kilowatt boost of power at the bus stop. A further 4 to 5 minute
charge at the terminus at the end of the line enables a full recharge of
the batteries. The innovative technology was developed by ABB engineers
in Switzerland.

"We are proud of this breakthrough technology to support Geneva's vision
of providing a silent and zero-emission urban mass transportation for the
city. It provides a model for future urban transport and reinforces our
vision of sustainable mobility for a better world" said Claudio Facchin,
President of ABB's Power Grids division. "As part of our Next Level
strategy, we are committed to developing customer-focused solutions and
technologies that help lower environmental impact."

The decision to deploy TOSA on Line 23 was undertaken after the
successful pilot of the first such e-bus on the route from Geneva airport
to the Palexpo exhibition center. The Line 23 bus route will be slightly
modified in order to provide a fast connection to Praille-Acacias-Vernet,
a new suburb being built to accommodate 11,000 flats and office space for
about 11,000 employees. When fully commissioned in 2018, the
high-capacity articulated buses will depart from both terminuses at
10-minute intervals during peak times. The line carries more than 10,000
passengers a day and the replacement of diesel buses by TOSA e-buses
reduces noise as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

As part of a separate award by HESS, ABB will supply 12 flexible
drivetrain solutions for the buses including integrated traction and
auxiliary converters, roof-mounted battery units and energy transfer
systems (ETS), as well as permanent magnet traction motors. Both
contracts include five-year maintenance and service agreements to ensure
operational reliability, efficiency and safety.

"The deployment of TOSA on Line 23 is the result of the collaborative
efforts of the public and private sector partners who invested in this
vision. This innovative project opens the way for the future of mobility,
by providing a sustainable and environmentally-friendly mass transport
solution for the well-being of our community," said Luc Barthassat,
Geneva's State Councilor for Transport and Environment.

Geneva is one of the world's leading cities, recognized as a global
center of diplomacy, a financial hub and a technology and innovation
center. It is also a popular tourist destination with a high quality of
life. It hosts the highest number of international organizations in the
world, including global headquarters of institutions like the United
Nations and the Red Cross.

ABB provides a range of technologies to support mobility applications
such as railways, metros and electric buses and vehicles. Transportation
and Infrastructure is one of the three customer groups, served by ABB
alongside utilities and industry, and sustainable mobility is a key focus
area within ABB's Next Level strategy.

ABB is celebrating 125 years of its legacy in Switzerland and has been
actively involved in the transportation sector including rail. As a
recent example, ABB technologies are helping to power and ventilate the
recently commissioned 57 km Gotthard base tunnel through the Alps - the
world's longest railway tunnel.

ABB (www.abb.com) is a leading global technology company in power and
automation that enables utility, industry, and transport & infrastructure
customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental
impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in roughly 100 countries and
employs about 135,000 people.
