This paper presents a preliminary economic study on the feasibility of using electric vehicles (EVs) to provide demand response, carried out as part of the GREEN Grid project. A mathematical model is developed to track the charge cycle of an EV battery, and this in turn provides estimates of the cost associated with battery life degradation under different scenarios. Three case studies are pres...

Battery chargers are essential components for further development of plug-in vehicles including electric or hybrid electric vehicles. The 3.3kW battery charges are widely used in plug-in vehicles in which the power source is the single phase ac grid. The auto industry has stringent requirements on the size, efficiency, temperature and packaging of the onboard chargers that are reviewed in this ...

In the large scale MANETs, mobile nodes could act either as resource providers, relays or requestors in the network. Since the storage space, the channel capacity and the energy supply are often limited, it is always worth considering the assignment between requestors and resources. We model two scenarios in this chapter, namely hospital assignment and energy charging. In the first scenario, th...

We propose a novel approach for optimization of charging harmonic oscillators (quantum batteries) coupled to oscillator (charger), driven by laser field. demonstrate that energy transfer limitations can be significantly mitigated in the presence catalyst systems, mediating between charger and quantum batteries. show these either qubits or oscillators, enhance amount transferred batteries, while...

In response to concerns about energy cost, energy dependence, and environmental damage, a rekindling of interest in electric vehicles (EV’s) has been obvious. Based on the “California rules” on zero emission vehicles in the United States, as well as similar tightened air pollution regulation in Europe, Asia, and much of the rest of the world, the market size of EV’s will be enormous. Thus, the ...

GB/T 27930-2015 named Communication Protocol Between Off-board Conductive Charger and Battery Management System of Electric Vehicles is one the most important standards in field conductive charging electric vehicles China. In order to help relevant industries, enterprises users better understand standard, its scope application, communication principle, typical process, as well message format co...

The nonlinear load such as UPS, fan controller, mobile charger is distorting the supply current waveform. This current harmonics derates the power system equipment. To avoid this current harmonics, filters namely passive filter / active filter /hybrid filters are introduced in the supply line. In this paper the overall view of the performance of the various filters are studied and the performan...

We have developed a new isolated AC/DC converter for electric vehicle on-board chargers. It consists of an AC/DC converter with Gradationally Controlled Voltage Inverter (GCVI AC/DC converter) and an isolated Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) DC/DC converter, each of which is optimally controlled to convert in a highly efficient means. As a result, the new on-board charger has achieved a power conve...

In Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks, one or more special mobile entities (called the Mobile Chargers) traverse the network and wirelessly replenish the energy of sensor nodes, using wireless power transfer technology. In this paper, we present some state of the art algorithms that apply to characteristic problems in such networks, namely efficient use of wireless power transfer using i) on...

It has come to our attention that numerous devices that need charging adaptors during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have similar charging sockets but different voltage requirements. This has caused one of our devices in the operating theater to overheat and completely shut down when connected to an incorrect higher-voltage charger. The possibility of fire, device destruction, or patient harm in ...
