In this paper a novel multi-purpose converter for electric vehicles (EVs) is proposed. This topology, optimized for a full electric drive, satisfies propulsion requirements and allows single phase as well as three-phase AC charging. As compared with the onboard integrated chargers on the market today, this topology enables significant cost, weight and volume reductions. The proposed topology is theoretically...
As the number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has continuously increased in the last years, due to environmental issues, the interest is to find the maximal penetration rate of EVs, which can meet both, technical and environmental constraints. The technical impacts can be reduced by applying an Energy Management Strategy (EMS), which in the present study increases the maximal allowed EVs' penetration rate...
Dynamic magnetic coupling resonate wireless power transfer (WPT) system with single magnetic pole track allows very limited lateral migration of the power receiver relative to the power supply rail. The multi-pole rail improves the issue of lateral migration effectively, but when the receiver moves along the rail, the null points make it difficult to be applied to the equipment which carries none...
In electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, the inverter output voltage is limited by available DC-link voltage, which restricts the vehicle speed and acceleration. Therefore the fundamental component of the motor voltage should be increased by operating inverter in the six-step mode at high speeds. Although hysteresis based direct torque control (DTC) is a straightforward approach and has several advantages,...
The simulation of a direct torque hysteresis controller (DTHC) driving an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) is presented in this paper. The underlying switching concept as well as a proposed experimental setup is discussed. Various simulations, varying the torque and current tolerances, are carried out in the low torque and high torque range. Simulation results show a direct influence...
The application of a direct torque hysteresis controller (DTHC) driving an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) in the dynamic state is presented in this paper. The underlying switching concept as well as a proposed experimental setup is discussed. Positive and negative torque setpoint steps are simulated in the low torque and high torque range. Simulation results show that the number...
Aggregators in smart grid are business operators providing services to aggregate and visualize electricity information, balance demand and supply, reduce energy consumption, and do the other activities with Energy Management Systems (EMSs). An aggregator for Apartment Building Energy Management Systems (Apartment-BEMSs) balances demand and supply considering all households in its building. The buildings...
It is expected that the number of electric drive vehicles (EDVs) would grow rapidly in the coming years. Considering cars are parked over 92% of the time, the excess batteries capacity of EVs could be used to support power grid, while they are plugged into the grid. Although this technology, which is called vehicle to grid (V2G), has several benefit, vehicle to building (V2B) systems have a higher...
Electric vehicles (EVs) can help to decrease the emissions in the transport sector, especially in combination with an increase of renewable energies. However, for most of the people the comparably small range of EVs is still an obstacle concerning buying an EV. In this paper a project with a fleet test in the Ruhr-Area of Germany dealing with technologies for long distance electromobility is introduced...
A novel Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is proposed in this paper. It consists of a battery pack and an ultra-capacitor module (UC), which are suitably coupled through a Three-Level Neutral-Point Clamped Converter (NPC). Particularly, although the UC is integrated within the DC-link, its voltage can be varied within a wide range, thus assuring its full exploitation...
With the popularity of electric vehicles, numerous cities have adopted electric vehicles as a part of taxis system. Compared with traditional fuel taxis, electric taxis (ETs) have to rely on charging stations (CSs) to charge frequently, so that it is possible to use charging behavior to control the actions of ETs. This paper considers the problem of optimizing dispatch of electric taxis and charging...
It is fairly well-known in circuit theory that the product of magnetic coupling coefficient and system quality factor is the single most important figure of merit (FOM) for optimizing the design of series-series-compensated resonant inductive coupling coils. Coils with high value of FOM can operate efficiently under misalignment conditions, such as poor coupling systems. This would be the case in...
In this paper thorough analysis of Series-Parallel resonant inductive coupling (SPRIC) has been presented using two-port network theory. Characteristic of SPRIC has been derived and plotted against load variation and frequency variation in MATLAB. Concept of forced resonance and natural resonance has been discussed. Important expressions such as current transfer ratio, voltage transfer ratio, maximum...
