In this paper, a plug-to-wheel energy balance is made of battery electrical vehicles. The study is based on real data from a two years continuous monitoring of five Peugeot iOn cars, that was performed in Belgium since June 2011, with the financing and support of Electrabel. Different driving styles, trip profiles, type and intensity of use were observed, leading to different energy patterns. The...
In this article, the driving performance of two electric vehicles of the latest generation clean powertrain cars is evaluated. The vehicles under test are an electric Peugeot iOn, and an AGV electric version of the Ford Transit Connect. For different torque-speed operating conditions at wheel level, the vehicles are evaluated for their battery to wheel — electrical to mechanical — power conversion...
Power Line Communication is still one of the most popular ways to solve the last-mile problem in Smart Metering. The main drawbacks of this medium are the harsh circumstances in the grid. The unpredictability of noise and impedance in the grid makes it a difficult task to model the physical channel and therefore choose the right modulation technique for the job. In this paper noise and impedance measurements...
The Dutch government launched a ‘Living Lab’ ‘Electric and Hybrid driving’ to facilitate, accelerate and stimulate the innovation and adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles. Part of this program is the living lab ‘Rotterdam tests electric driving’ or “RTER”, which is the largest integral study of EV in the Netherlands so far. The city of Rotterdam, DNO ‘Stedin’ and energy supplier ‘Eneco’ aim to...
