This paper investigates the often-overlooked electric bus fleets charging needs. Current electric bus models have short ranges and need to recharge during stops and loading, and each bus can instantaneously consume the same amount of power as one commercial building. With many and often ON/OFF charging switchings, the overall demand profile is pulsed and could cause many issues regarding to reliability, stability, and protection. Thus, this paper proposes to integrate the pulsed bus charging demand with coordinated control of community hybrid AC/DC microgrids to regulate and smooth pulsed electric bus fleet needs. Hybrid battery-capacitor energy storage systems distributed in multiple networked microgrids (which model major bus stations)are controlled in a coordinated manner to share resource and support the pulsed electric bus charging need.
