Extended-range electric vehicle is considered to be the ideal transition type for electric vehicle. The optimal operation curve control strategy was proposed for a 12 meter-long range extended electric bus. With exponential function inertia weight adjustment and local chaos substitution, an improved chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm was applied to optimize the key parameters of ener...

The paper describes the application of Model Predictive Control @fPC) methodologies for application to electric and hybrid-electric vehicle drivetrain formats incorporating multiple energylpower sources. Particular emphasis is given to the co-ordinated management of energy flow from the multiple sources to address issues of extended vehicle range and battery lifetime for allelectric drivetrains...

In recent years, the popularity of wireless inductive power transfer (WIPT) system for electric vehicle battery charging (EVBC) is always ever-increasing. In the WIPT inductively coupled coil structure is the heart of the system and the mutual inductance (MI) between the coupled coils is the key factor for effective power transfer. This paper presents the analysis of mutual inductance between t...

Recharging a plug-in electric vehicle is more time-consuming than refueling an internal combustion engine vehicle. As a result, charging stations may face serious congestion problems during peak traffic hours in the near future with the rapid growth of plug-in electric vehicle population. Considering that drivers' time costs are usually expensive, charging congestion will be a dominant factor t...

This paper proposes a methodology for presizing the power of an electric vehicle traction motor. Based on the vehicle desired performances, the electric motor optimal power can be calculated. The final objective is to meet the design constraints with minimum power under the European urban (ECE-15) and sub-urban (EUDC) driving cycles. The power presizing methodology is validated through extensiv...

In recent years, environmental and energy problem has become one of the world's hot spot problems. Today, the road cars not only consume a lot of oil resource, but also cause serious pollution to human survival environment. Therefore, to save energy and protect environment, a green environmental friendly electric car instead of fuel car will be needed for sustainable development of the society....
