Shandong Yantai: New operation mode of photovoltaic power station + electric bus

China Energy Storage Network News: On July 28, 2016, Yantai Public Transport Group and Yantai Oriental Energy Technology Co., Ltd. jointly signed the "Yantai Public Transport Group High-tech Zone Station Photovoltaic Charging Station Construction and Operation Cooperation Agreement". The "Agreement" stipulates that from now on, the two parties will jointly invest in the construction of "Distributed Photovoltaic Intelligent Electric Bus Charging Station". The project site is located at the Public Transport Group High-tech Zone Bus Station, and the construction period is expected to be about 3 months. After completion, Yantai Public Transport Group's electric buses will be charged by solar energy.

According to the agreement, the photovoltaic charging station project of the bus station in the High-tech Zone includes 10 charging piles, power distribution equipment and supporting charging and distributing parts, carport distributed photovoltaic parts, and photovoltaic charging station system parts. Among them, the charging piles use 60KW double-gun electric piles, which meet international requirements and match the electric bus models put into operation by the bus group.

据烟台公交集团总经理李进文介绍，纯电动公交车以“绿色、环保、清洁”著称，美中不足的是，与电动公交车配套的充电桩大多接入交流电网，其电能大多是由煤炭作为发电原料。相比之下，高新区公交场站在建的光伏充电站将光伏发电技术与充电技术相结合，利用太阳能电池将太阳光直接转化为电能，以此作为电动公交车充电的能源，实现真正意义上的零排放。

It is reported that the project has officially started construction on the same day. The project construction party will build a carport photovoltaic at the existing location of the high-tech zone bus station and add a transformer to meet the needs of charging piles and photovoltaic grid connection. According to the information provided by the project construction party, after the completion of the project, the annual power generation can reach 470,000 KWH, which can meet the charging needs of 100 electric buses with a full voltage range.

Li Jinwen said that electric buses and photovoltaic charging facilities are an important part of Yantai's development of clean energy, smart cities, and smart transportation infrastructure. It is also a beneficial attempt at the "new energy + electric bus operation new model."
