Electric vehicle (EV) charging represents a relevant electric load with rapid evolution in terms of number, power rating and distortion, particular, considering the connection to low-voltage public grid: available short-circuit may be limited particularly susceptible loads co-exist same grid portion. Standards can partially address problem covering only harmonic interval, but they necessitate s...

With a large-scale introduction of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), a new entity, the PEV fleet aggregator, is expected to be responsible for managing the charging of, and for purchasing electricity for, the vehicles. This book chapter deals with the problem of an aggregator bidding into the day-ahead electricity market with the objective of minimizing charging costs while satisfying the PEVs’...

The first commercially available plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the General Motors (GM) Volt, was introduced into the market in mid-December 2010. The Volt uses a series-split powertrain architecture, which provides benefits over the series architecture that typically has been considered for use in electric-range extended vehicles (EREVs). A specialized EREV powertrain, called the Volt...

The hybrid power supply of solar batteries is essential for the plug-in, green and smart construction electric cars (PEV). This paper provides a framework optimization testing PEV nutrients, balanced home batteries, photovoltaic arrays (PVAt same time as fulfilling domestic demand, we are seeking to extend financing structure. formulation convex (CP) programming achieved easily, based on clever...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are hybrid electric vehicles that can be fueled from both conventional liquid fuels and grid electricity. To represent the total contribution of both of these fuels to the operation, energy use, and environmental impacts of PHEVs, researchers have developed the concept of the utility factor. As standardized in documents such as SAE J1711 and SAE J2841, t...

Automobile emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter are coming under progressively strict regulations worldwide. Meeting the increasingly severe requirements will require wider use of electric vehicles, including hybrid electric cars, and of high-efficiency electrified powertrains for better fuel economy. For this, implementation of still more compact, higher outp...

The growing concerns about energy security and global climate change have stimulated the transition to alternative fuel vehicles (AFV), widely considered an important ingredient in sustainable transportation (1). Of the many competing technologies, plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) have received much attention thanks to their high energy efficiency (2), the ability to substitute electricity for p...

Federal electric vehicle (EV) policies in the United States currently include vehicle purchase subsidies linked to EV battery capacity and subsidies for installing charging stations. We assess the costeffectiveness of increased battery capacity vs. nondomestic charging infrastructure installation for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles as alternate methods to reduce gasoline consumption for cars, ...
