This project demonstrates yet again the importance of integrating new charging infrastructure into existing structures. Many cities are investing in sustainable bus transport, but the retrofit has to be as economical as possible. For this reason, converting existing bus depots to eBus operations must be easy and cost-efficient.
What makes this form of power distribution unique are the special connectors that easily adapt the busbar trunking system to the special characteristics of the existing building. This solution is more flexible than cables, easier and faster to install. Additional loads can be added via tap-off units as needed. When planning the power distribution system, a digital twin of the busbar trunking system is created by using digital planning tools. A future modular expansion of the system can thereby be simulated and included in the planning process already today. This enables forward-looking and economic planning as well as efficient implementation.
