Set the grid electricity price for buying and selling electricity. A contract with fixed electricity price is considered, for which the price for buying electricity consists of three segments: the energy price itself (i.e. ‘elec cost’), the profit made on this price by the electricity provider (i.e. ‘elec_cost_profit’) and the fraction of the energy price to the final retail price (i.e. ‘elec_cost_ratio’, e.g. when this value equal 0.3, then the energy price corresponds to 30% of the final bill, while 70% corresponds to transportation cost, taxes,…). The price for selling electricity back to the grid corresponds to the energy price.

In addition, the demand profiles from the hydrogen buses and diesel buses is determined, based on the European daily refueling profile [1].
