Scale Evolution of Electric Vehicles: A System Dynamics Approach

Active Suspension System in Parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicles

In previous studies, active suspension system in conventional powertrain systems was investigated. This paper presents the application of active suspension system in parallel hybrid electric vehicles as a novel idea. The main motivation for this study is investigation of the potential advantages of this application over the conventional one. For this purpose, a simultaneous simulation is develo...

Market Evolution Scenarios for Electric Vehicles

A Novel Approach to Design the Dual Rotor Switched Reluctance Motor Based Electric Vehicles

Electric and hybrid electric vehicles are attractive candidates for sustainable transportation due to its higher efficiency and low emission. The critical choice on the electric motors is its capability of motoring and regenerative braking characteristics. Switched reluctance machines are viable candidate as with proper control and extended constant power range operation replacing the multi-gea...

A System Dynamics Approach to Healthcare Cost Control

Abstract The purpose of this article is to present a system dynamics (SD) model for studying the ‎interconnections among human being weight, eating habit, exercise, body fat, take-in medication, drugs-uses, and the health problems in general. Due to the fact that all of these factors have direct and indirect impacts on the expenses that insurance company have to pay this author is proposing a ...

Power System Reserve from Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising source of flexibility for the power grid. This paper looks at the ability of EVs to provide power system reserve by studying the potential driving and charging profiles of EVs in an Irish context. The results show that the potential for EVs to provide contingency reserve is strongly dependent on the time of day, day of week and the seasonal effect of clim...
