Vehicle exhaust emissions have posed a serious threat in recent years to the urban air quality of Beijing. It is necessary to accurately estimate the magnitude and distribution of these emissions in order to reduce the uncertainty of local scale air quality modeling assessment. This paper provides a bottom-up approach by combining vehicle emission factors and vehicle activity data from a travel...

This paper proposes a stochastic dynamic programming framework for the optimal energy management of a smart home with plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) energy storage. This work is motivated by the challenges associated with intermittent renewable energy supplies and the local energy storage opportunity presented by vehicle electrification. This paper seeks to minimize electricity ratepayer cost, ...

Due to demand for decreasing CO2 emission and improving fuel-efficiency of vehicles, research and development of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) is being revitalized worldwide. In advance of widespread use of EVs and PHEVs, Europe, United States and Japan have cooperated and worked on the international standardization of the vehicle charging system. We have ...

This paper presents a fuzzy based synchronization scheme for grid connected three phase Bidirectional Contactless Power Transfer (BCPT) system suitable for Electric Vehicle and Plug-in-Hybrid Electric Vehicle. The proposed synchronization scheme estimates the phase angle directly by tracking the grid voltage and frequency variations and facilitates synchronization of BCPT system with grid for c...

For the vehicle-to-grid system, dynamic performance of vehicle in transportation system is quite crucial. The stability basis whole system. Compared to traditional vehicle, with a torque distribution allows have better performance. method has attracted lot attention from researchers. Most current work focuses on concrete road. To improve lateral critical condition, nonlinear reference model and...

As the light vehicle fleet moves to electric drive (hybrid, battery, and fuel cell vehicles), an opportunity opens for “vehicle-to-grid” (V2G) power. This article defines the three vehicle types that can produce V2G power, and the power markets they can sell into. V2G only makes sense if the vehicle and power market are matched. For example, V2G appears to be unsuitable for baseload power—the c...

This paper presents a new multi-function conversion technique for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications. The proposed bi-directional charger can achieve three functions, including EV battery charging, grid-connection and reactive compensation, which are keys for energy management of the grid. With the proposed multi-function technology, the bi-directional charger will benefit both the grid and ele...

The diffusion of Electric Vehicles (EV) fostered by the evolution of the power system towards the new concept of Smart Grid introduces several technological challenges related to the synergy among electricity-propelled vehicle fleets and the energy grid ecosystem. EVs promise to reduce carbon emissions by exploiting Renewable Energy Sources (RESes) for battery recharge, and could potentially se...
