Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) are becoming gradually more attractive than internal combustion engine vehicles, even though the current electrical grid is not potentially able to support the required power demand increase to introduce charging stations. Acknowledging that design and development of charging stations has crucial importance, this paper introduces a candidate PHEV charging station...
The transient behavior of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell System (PEMFCS) under an efficient Adaptive Predictive Control with Robust Filter (APCWRF) is analyzed. This control scheme is tested to evaluate its performance when sudden changes in the load occur. It is produced by the demands of the electric motor of a hybrid vehicle, powered by a PEMFC and a supercapacitor bank to fulfil Standard...
The project "Bizzarrini P538 Eco Targa" has been developed by the INFOCOM department of " Sapienza" University of Rome. The project consisted in the design and construction of a replica of a historic Italian car, updated with LPG fuel and with modern parallel hybrid-type plug-in technologies, with a start and stop system, and a Lithiumpolymer battery storage system. The research...
Renewable energy sources will play an increasingly central role in the power network of the future. The will to reduce the dependence on fossil sources as well as growing environmental awareness, both individually and governmentally, is forcing governments throughout the world to invest an enormous amount of capital in renewable energy sources. The European Union, through its Energy and Climate Policy,...
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology has drawn great interest in the recent years. Success of the V2G research depends on efficient scheduling of gridable vehicles in limited parking lots. V2G can reduce dependencies on small expensive units in the existing power systems as energy storage that can decrease running costs. It can efficiently manage load fluctuation, peak load; however, it increases spinning...
The main objective of vehicle powertrain hybridization is to simultaneously improve the fuel consumption and environment pollutants impact (Eco-score) without decreasing the vehicle performances and other user satisfaction criteria. Based on a simulation model in ADVISOR, one can evaluate the performances, the emissions and then the Ecoscore and the user satisfaction for different driving scenarios...
As is well known, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are predominantly dependant on the energy storage system (ESS), compared to regular HEVs. although the series PHEV topology has been recently targeted as the prime choice for PHEV applications, it is unclear as to whether or not it is indeed the most efficient option. This paper models PHEVs in both series and parallel structures by using...
This paper includes some of the information gathered regarding the feasibility of converting a series-parallel configured electric vehicle to a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle versus using a series configured electric vehicle to a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. It will explain the theory behind how a series configured hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) might be a better option due to the power rating...
