Energy Efficiency of Electric Vehicles

Evaluating the Importance of Rear Spoiler on Energy Efficiency of Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained the attention of many authorities, automakers and researchers due to their considerable energy saving and emission reduction. One of the main issues that must be considered in design of a road vehicle is the calculation of aerodynamic forces. This issue also must be scrutinized in the design of EVs. Installation of rear spoiler is one of the solutions propose...

Bi-Level Optimization of Microgrids Considering Electric Vehicles under the Worst Conditions of Renewable Resource Output

In this paper, a two-level optimization model of mixed quadratic integer programming (MIQP) is presented in order to optimally operate microgrids under worst-case output conditions of renewable energy sources. This two-level model is divided into two high-level and low-level problems. In the high-level problem, the goal is to reduce energy loss and load shedding in the demand response program, ...

Electric Torque Vectoring for Electric Vehicles

The project E-Vectoorc (Electric Vehicle Control of Individual Wheel Torque for Onand Off-Road Conditions) targets the development of an integrated controller for vehicle dynamics and energy efficiency for fully electric vehicles with one to four electric motors. The project is funded within the 7th European Union Framework Programme and unites two OEMs (Jaguar Land Rover, Skoda Auto), one supp...

Electrified Transportation System Performance: Conventional vs. Online Electric Vehicles

In recent years, the electrification of ground transportation has emerged as a trend to support energy efficiency and CO2 emissions reduction targets. The true success, however, of this trend depends on the successful integration of electric vehicles into the infrastructure systems that support them. Left unmanaged, conventional electric vehicles may suffer from delays due to charging or cause ...
