The integration of a high number of plug-in electric (PEV) vehicles could lead to overloads in the systems assets and demand peaks if the charge of the fleet is left uncontrolled. However, with the use of smart-charging strategies these problems could be avoided. In this work the development of a smartcharging strategy is presented. The goal of each electric vehicle, modeled as an agent, is to ...

These systems are one of the key factors control power converters grid. The proposed includes communication architecture necessary realizing information flow between individual generators master supervisory algorithm. work ...

one of the big concerns of big cities is facing with the increase of fossil fuel vehicles in the roads. the cars intensify greenhouse gas emission in civic centers. one approach to reduce the emission is replacing the cars by plug-in electric vehicles (pevs). in spite of reducing the emission, pevs have some adverse effect on electric distribution networks. technical challenges such as load and...

electric vehicles (evs) have gained the attention of many authorities, automakers and researchers due to their considerable energy saving and emission reduction. one of the main issues that must be considered in design of a road vehicle is the calculation of aerodynamic forces. this issue also must be scrutinized in the design of evs. installation of rear spoiler is one of the solutions propose...

Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) are a rapidly developing technology that can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our dependence on foreign oil. PEVs will also be an integral part of the future smart grid, due to two main features: First, PEV charging stations will most likely be available at home and at work, offering flexible charging options. Second, these vehicles will have the capa...

in the present study, a model of a large lithium polymer (li-po) battery for use in the simulation of hybrid electric vehicles (hevs) is developed. to attain this goal, an equivalent circuit (ec) consisting of a series resistor and two rc parallel networks is considered. the accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an hev simulator are studied. the battery parameters identificatio...

With an electrified passenger transportation fleet, carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced significantly depending on the electric power production mix. Increased electric power consumption due to electric vehicle charging demands of electric vehicle fleets may be met by increased amount of renewable power production in the electrical systems. With electric vehicle fleets in the transportati...

electric and hybrid electric vehicles are attractive candidates for sustainable transportation due to its higher efficiency and low emission. the critical choice on the electric motors is its capability of motoring and regenerative braking characteristics. switched reluctance machines are viable candidate as with proper control and extended constant power range operation replacing the multi-gea...
