A transformer less hybrid series active filter is proposed to enhance the power quality in singlephase systems with critical loads. This thesis assists the energy management and power quality issues related to electric transportation and focuses on improving electric vehicle load connection to the grid. The control strategy is designed to prevent current harmonic distortions of nonlinear loads ...

Three configurations (series, parallel, and series-parallel) of the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) are studied, this study investigates the advantages and disadvantages of three HEV in the paper. Power flow simulations are conducted with the MATLAB/Simulink-based software Advanced Vehicle Simulator (ADVISOR). These simulations are used to study how efficiency and agility are affected by the moto...

This paper is the first of a two part study which quantifies the economic and greenhouse performance of conventional, hybrid and fully electric passenger vehicles operating in Australian driving conditions. This first study focuses on the total cost of vehicle ownership. Two vehicle sizes are considered, Class-E and Class-B, which bracket the large majority of passenger vehicles on Australian r...

This paper presents a preliminary design and analysis of an optimal energy management and control system for a parallel hybrid electric vehicle using hybrid dynamic control system theory and design tools. The vehicle longitudinal dynamics is analyzed. The practical operation modes of the hybrid electric vehicle are introduced with regard to the given power train configuration. In order to synth...
