  The 2028 LA Olympics is approaching, and the mass transportation network
requires to be expanded. The green electric bus transportation system is
gaining increasing attention as an essential step to mitigate emission
concerns. However, the introduction of a large electric bus fleet will increase
the peak load demand, which will adversely affect the grid. This research
addresses the issue of an increase in the peak load demand due to the
introduction of the electric bus fleet. Therefore, the potential implementation
of stationary battery energy storage systems is investigated to shave the peak
load demand by providing energy during peak hours. Moreover, a fleet management
software implementation has been demonstrated for a test case scenario in Los
Angeles. As a result, based on specific energy demand values, battery hardware
options, standard e-bus driving cycles and profiles, and local bus route
characteristics, the optimal battery specifications, and power rates have been
addressed. Moreover, techno-economic analysis has been carried out to
demonstrate the cost-benefit analysis.
