C This paper provides a design outline and implementation procedure for a Secondary Energy Storage Unit (SESU) that can be used to meet the peak energy requirements of an electric vehicle during both acceleration and regenerative braking. The life cycle of the electric vehicle’s batteries can be extended considerably by supplying peak energy requirements from a secondary source. A simulation st...

based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. however, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. to resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...

Electric Vehicle (EV) possesses a significant potential to provide clean energy in vehicular technology. To increase the drive cycle efficiency and the driving range of EVs, which is considered to be the key barrier for its successful commercialization, its energy storage technology needs to be improved. The power requirement of an electric vehicle cannot be satisfied by the battery alone as it...

Regarding the advances in technology and anxieties around high and growing prices of fossil fuels, government incentives increase to produce cleaner and sustainable energy through distributed generations. This makes trends in the using microgrids which consist of electric demands and different distributed generations and energy storage systems. The optimum operation of microgrids with consideri...

The benefits of hybrid electric vehicles have been recognized by the US Army and other military services. As a consequence, hybrid vehicles are being considered as future combat and tactical platforms. In order to achieve this objective, a number of integration challenges need to be overcome for every component system within the vehicle. Energy storage is one of the major systems of concern in ...

hydrogen technology is becoming ever more relevant because hydrogen use can help containinggreenhouse gas emission if co2 capture and storage techniques are implemented in the hydrogen productiontechnology (when hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels). for this reason this work aims at carryingout a comparative analysis of possible energy scenarios in urban districts: a medium-small italian cit...
