Popis: The needs of vehicles and electric grids converge with transportation electrification. The electrified depot plays a pivotal role to enable both efficient electrification of transit systems and reliable integration with electric utlities. With the improvement of autonomous technology, the optimization of depots is paramount and also offers opportunities for deeper integration of different systems. Future depots will maintain multiple different modes of charging via pantographs and plug in while the current charging speed will remain largely unchanged. Major advancements will support autonomous operations via robots and more efficient leverage of installed charging infrastructure. We will see the development of more strict and more generally accepted standards on both the electro-mechanical and communications side.
