Abstract

This work introduces an optimization-based framework for the scheduling of operations of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuelling stations for municipal bus fleets. The problem under study considers technical characteristics of the bus engines as well as the distance of their routes. This allows the planning of operations of the compressor network of the CNG fuelling station in accordance with the electricity price, storage capacity and time.
