Methods for increasing the potential of integration of EV chargers into the DC catenary of electric transport grids: A trolleygrid case study

The traction substations of urban electric transport grids are oversized and underutilized in terms of their capacity. While their over-sizing is an unfortunate waste, their under-utilization creates the major hurdle for the integration of renewables into these grids due to the lack of a base load. Therefore, integrating smart grid loads such...
