The paper presents a modelling methodology for small scale multi-source renewable energy systems. Using historical site-specific weather data, the relationships of cost, availability and energy form are visualised as a function of the sizing of photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines, and battery capacity. The specific dependency of each site on its own particular weather patterns show that unique s...

Battery is a vital subsystem in an electric vehicle with regenerative braking system. The energy efficiency of an electric vehicle is improved by storing the regenerated energy in an electric battery, during braking, and reusing it during subsequent acceleration. Battery possesses a relatively poor power density and slow charging of regenerated energy, when compared to hydro-pneumatic accumulat...

Two different arrangements for Wireless Battery Charging Systems (WBCSs) with a series-parallel resonant topology have been analyzed in this paper. The first arrangement charges the battery by controlling receiver-side rectifier current and voltage without chopper, while second it chopper keeping input constant. comparison of these two is made based on their performance various figures merit, s...

In this paper, we evaluate the cost of electrification an existing bus network. We propose a family bi-objective mathematical models to demonstrate trade-off between strategic (i.e., battery sizing and locations charging stations) operational decisions degradation). The proposed investigate different policies measure their impacts on overall cost. Battery degradation is estimated by tailored li...

The increasing penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) in the energy mix is determining an scenario characterized by decentralized power production. Between RESs generation technologies, solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) systems constitute a very promising option, but their production not programmable due to intermittent nature energy. coupling between PV facility and Battery Storage System (BESS)...
