This paper presents an evaluation of the usage of electric vehicle battery as an energy storage device for surplus power generated by Photovoltaic power generation system (PV) installed at home. The main goals are the reduction of the reverse power flow caused by PV power generation, and the mitigation of the dependency on the power system grid to charge the EV's battery. We conducted a study based...
The past decade has seen an increase in demand for electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles, leading to an increased need for multi-domain modeling and simulation techniques. VHDL-AMS is an industry standard multi-domain behavioral description language with the ability to present analog, digital and mixed-signal models. The multi-domain attribute of VHDL-AMS provides a convenient way to model complex...
The rise and scale of vehicles today makes traffic management a steady problem. Various method such as toll based control systems with electronic smart card recognition, advance warning of traffic status to the control system, and fixed time traffic control signal system are some of the techniques can be used to improve the traffic woes of passengers. However a problem is still remains due to incomplete...
Current vehicles in the automotive industry are increasingly equipped with a variety of complex electrical and electronic (abbr.: e/e) applications. These e/e applications are used to create innovative vehicle functions. One of the challenges in the development of e/e applications is the selection and integration of available semiconductor technologies and semiconductor products. Often only a semiconductor...
This paper investigates the through-the-road (TTR) powertrain architecture and its suitability for plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) in the passenger vehicle category. The advantages and disadvantages of this architecture with respect to cost, sizing, control and manufacturability are contrasted against those of conventional architectures. The comparison extends into powertrain configurations...
This paper presents a field oriented induction motor drive system with two distinct features: a Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Controller (FMRLC) to improve the robustness of the speed regulator against the external disturbance and a closed loop Sliding Mode Flux and Speed Estimator (SMFSE) to estimate the flux and speed of machine. The FMRLC based speed regulator adaptively tunes its parameters when...
The main objective of the paper is to do stability assessment of power electronics based electrical power system of TOSA electric bus. This paper mainly focuses on the stability of the common dc bus that multiple power converters are connected to. The TOSA bus electrical power system is modeled with Matlab/Simulink. The common dc bus stability is investigated under different operating conditions.
The design of an effective charging management system plays a key role in the widespread deployment of Electric Vehicles (EVs). However, such design must consider a number of issues, especially in case of public charging stations, such as the impact of the EV charging on the power grid, the predictability of user mobility, the charging station utilization level, and, last but not least, user satisfaction...
In this paper the simulation models by Matlab for an urban-metro railcar and some newer methods for reducing the need value of capacitance for energy storage are presented. The achievable decreasing ratio of the needed energy storage at SCAP is 25 to 40 % with this improved energy control method. It was been investigated the supercapacitor and the Li-ion battery as hybrid energy storage system and...
As the number of EVs increases on the roads, the power grid load is expected to drastically change exhibiting more chaotic load patterns throughout a day. By intelligent control it is possible to manage plug-in loads on the local distribution grid. This paper presents a holistic approach to cost and benefit analysis of smart grid enabled Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSEs) from a utility point...
In the coming years, the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) will strongly penetrate in the French Car Fleet. This will create more challenges on the power system including voltage plan in residential areas. For that, in this paper we propose a Rule-Based (RB) algorithm to smart integration of PHEVs in residential electric grid areas. RB algorithm determines the minimum charging power of home-charged...
In this paper, development of an educational small scale hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) learning module is discussed. The module is comprised of all the key components of an actual HEV that have been scaled down to provide an ideal test platform to evaluate and study hybrid power trains as well as simulate both electric and HEV systems. The test platform consists of low cost off-the-shelf RC parts...
In the last couple of years software functionality of modern cars increased dramatically. This growing functionality leads directly to a higher complexity of development and configuration. Current studies show that the amount of software will continue to grow. Additionally, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous functionality, such as highly and fully automated driving or parking,...
A high power EV charging station integrated with active power filter (APF) functionality reduces the grid infrastructure cost and improves grid performance. However, the EV charging station's closed control loop is nonlinear because of the interaction of the EV charging station with the grid's impedance. This issue will be investigated in this paper. The paper shows how to transform the problem into...
Research and development of energy storage systems are almost entirely dominated by the need for continuously increasing their performance, reducing weight, cost, and increasing efficiency. The combination of battery and supercapacitor within the hybrid energy storage system (HESS) involves the management of the power between the two devices. The objective of this study is to develop a novel model...
