Electric vehicles create a demand for additional electrical power. As the popularity of electric vehicles increases, the demand for more power can increase more rapidly than our ability to install additional generating capacity. In the long term we expect that the supply and demand will become balanced. However, in the interim the rate at which electric vehicles can be deployed will depend on o...

Metal Halide High Intensity Discharge lamps are becoming popular because of its high efficacy. The operating characteristic of Metal Halide High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps is complex as it has several stage of operation. So electric control system is required to control the operation of metal halide high intensity discharge lamps. Electric control system involves a number of non linear dev...

Title of thesis: IMPLICATIONS OF THE DICHOTOMY OF MODAL PARTICIPATION FACTORS FOR MONITORING AND CONTROL OF ELECTRIC POWER NETWORKS Paul Kenton Tschirhart, Master of Science, 2013 Thesis directed by: Professor Eyad Abed Department of Electrical Engineering Steadily increasing demand for electricity has led to today’s electric power networks often being stressed to their stability limits. Improv...

An estimation of the power battery state of charge (SOC) is related to the energy management, the battery cycle life and the use cost of electric vehicles. When a lithium‐ion power battery is used in an electric vehicle, the SOC displays a very strong time‐dependent nonlinearity under the influence of random factors, such as the working conditions and the environment. Hence, resea...

In this paper, new mathematical formulas for the computation of the apparent power, the active power, and the reactive power are given, together with equations for the power factor and the distortion factor. These formulas are applicable for all four operational states, in which electric power networks can be. The given results remain valid also in the difficult case of nonlinear AC generators ...
