Due to the growing concern about global environmental problems and shrinking nonrenewable energy sources, research on electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles is once again attracting significant attention. Meanwhile, significant improvements in power electronics, energy storage and control technology have made electric vehicles fully feasible, preparing the state of the art for their ret...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are an emerging type of mobile intelligent power consumption devices in Smart Grid as new green transport tools. In order to provide a powerful automation and intelligence support for wide area electric vehicles energy service network, we analyze the network infrastructure and communications demands of various terminals, devices and monitoring systems distributed in wide...

This article describes the design of a traction control system in an electric Formula Student vehicle. In many race applications the accelerator pedal is difficult to control for an in-experienced driver, especially in the case of electric vehicles, where a large torque is available from standstill. A 3-DOF driveline model is used in combination with a 7-DOF vehicle model and a non-linear tyre ...

The paper describes the application of Model Predictive Control @fPC) methodologies for application to electric and hybrid-electric vehicle drivetrain formats incorporating multiple energylpower sources. Particular emphasis is given to the co-ordinated management of energy flow from the multiple sources to address issues of extended vehicle range and battery lifetime for allelectric drivetrains...

This paper proposes a methodology for presizing the power of an electric vehicle traction motor. Based on the vehicle desired performances, the electric motor optimal power can be calculated. The final objective is to meet the design constraints with minimum power under the European urban (ECE-15) and sub-urban (EUDC) driving cycles. The power presizing methodology is validated through extensiv...
