Starting from the premise that new consumer value must drive hydrogen-fuel-cell-vehicle (H2FCV) commercialization, a group of opportunities ollectively called “Mobile Electricity” is characterized. Mobile Electricity (Me-) redefines H2FCVs as innovative products able to import and xport electricity across the traditional vehicle boundary. Such vehicles could provide home recharging and mobile p...

This paper is aimed at modelling of a distinct smart charging station for electric vehicles (EVs) that is suitable for DC quick EV charging while ensuring minimum stress on the power grid. Operation of the charging station is managed in such a way that it is either supplied by photovoltaic (PV) power or the power grid, and the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is also implemented for improving the stabilit...

An enhanced grid system for the Orbiter was built by integrating CAD definitions from several sources and then generating the surface and volume grids. The new grid system contains geometric components not modelled previously plus significant enhancements on geometry that has been modelled in the old grid system. The new Orbiter grids were then integrated with new grids for the rest of the laun...

The potential widespread adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has received considerable attention across the globe. However, as a promising technology for both EVs and smart grid, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) tended to receive much less attention. This paper developed an agent-based joint EV V2G model simultaneously simulate how might diffuse space over time, with empirical findings from questionnaire ...

Detecting unexpected obstacles and avoiding collisions is an important task for any autonomous mobile system. This article describes GANESHA (Grid based Approach for Navigation by Evidence Storage and Histogram Analysis), a system using sonar that we implemented for the autonomous land vehicle Navlab. The general hardware configuration of the system is shown, followed by a description of how th...

The increasing need for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the drive green cities have promoted use of electric vehicles due to their environmental benefits. In fact, countries set own targets are offering incentives people purchase EVs as opposed traditional gasoline-powered cars. Manufacturers been hastily deploying charging stations meet requirements on road. This rapid deployment has con...
