This paper examines the impact of geographical location on the energy consumption of double deck battery electric buses operating in four UK cities. By considering seasonal variation in ambient temperature and an assumed battery degradation process, the implications on operational cost and carbon emissions were investigated. Using a MATLAB/Simulink model the total energy demand of a vehicle operating on the UKBC was simulated. Energy consumption was combined with hourly seasonal averages of carbon intensity (gCO₂/kWh) and wholesale electricity costs (£) to assess charging at different times of the day and year. At the beginning of life, the range could decrease by up to 17.3% due to heating load requirements. From beginning of life to end of life, range was predicted to decrease by up to 26%. Whilst the average operational costs are relatively consistent across the four regions, the average carbon emissions can be five times higher depending on location.

本文研究了地理位置对在英国四个城市运营的双层电池电动巴士能源消耗的影响。通过考虑环境温度的季节性变化和假设的电池退化过程，研究了对运营成本和碳排放的影响。使用 MATLAB/Simulink 模型模拟了在 UKBC 上运行的车辆的总能量需求。能源消耗与每小时季节性平均碳强度 (gCO ₂/kWh）和批发电费（£）来评估一天和一年中不同时间的充电。在使用寿命开始时，由于热负荷要求，该范围可能会减少多达 17.3%。从生命开始到生命结束，范围预计将减少多达 26%。虽然四个地区的平均运营成本相对一致，但平均碳排放量可能会高出五倍，具体取决于位置。
