The paper describes an embedded controller as the basis for high performance navigation tasks. The approach solves Laplace's equation on a discrete grid representing the roadway map. The resulting harmonic potential is free of local minima and a greedy descent minimizes the probability of collision with posted obstacles. In this paper, we will (1) introduce the important properties of harmonic ...

The dynamic modelling of a solar energy system with vehicle to home (V2H) and grid (V2G) options for Newfoundland conditions is discussed in this paper. A site (13 Polina Road) was chosen St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. An optimized built the using BEopt, Homer, MATLAB software’s meet house's demand. Furthermore, smart current sensors installed house are used incorporate V2H V2G concepts. Nis...

Black start is one of the most important ancillary services that should be required by National Grid in UK which traditionally has been provided large power stations. However, current shift towards greener technologies have opened door to non-traditional technologies. In this study, we explored electric vehicles (EVs) and minimum state charge (SOC) can held a fleet EVs during week could potenti...

in this paper, plug-in fuel cell electric vehicle (pfcev) is considered with dual power sources including fuel cell (fc) and battery energy storage. in order to respond to a transient power demand, usually supercapacitor energy storage device is combined with fuel cell to create a hybrid system with high energy density of fuel cell and the high power density of battery. in order to simulate the...

Electric vehicle grid integration (EVGI) is one of the most important parts transportation electrification. However, large-scale EV charging/discharging can have an adverse effect on distribution grid, due to a large amount load being drawn from or fed back power grid. Additionally, electronics used in interaction may impose additional complications, such as voltage and frequency deviation, har...

The study deals with the characteristics of smart charging of electric vehicles. The study begins with the introduction of the engineering philosophy of electric vehicle system. Then the identification of key players in electric vehicles system and their different demands, namely perspectives from automakers, electricity providers, vehicle owners and charging service providers. The key is the i...

Occupancy grid map is a popular tool for representing the surrounding environments of mobile robots/intelligent vehicles. Its applications can be dated back to the 1980s, when researchers utilized sonar or LiDAR to illustrate environments by occupancy grids. However, in the literature, research on vision-based occupancy grid mapping is scant. Furthermore, when moving in a real dynamic world, tr...
