The following topics are dealt with: hybrid and electric vehicles; subsystems and components; control; infrastructure; real world experience; policy; reliability and safety; modelling and simulation.
In the paper E-CHO e-learning environment and its main characteristics are presented and analysed. This program was developed at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, where cooperation between different laboratories enables integration of characteristics important for education purposes and specific for different research areas. Some of them are illustrated through...
This elaboration presents a dynamic model of an Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) developed in COMSOL Multiphysics. The electromagnetic field is calculated on the basis of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The calculated electromagnetic force is applied to the rotor, which is free to move. The Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method for mesh deformation is applied to achieve rotor motion on the...
This paper describes a new methodology for preliminary design of Dynamic Active System (DAS). In this context we developed a tool for functional specification which allows the integration of control engineers and the innovation of new functionalities. We propose the bond-graph tool for the functions/structures passage and the synthesis of DAS passive part with the integration of control criteria....
Traditional control design techniques like manual tuning are widely employed within the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) industry. However, manual tuning comprises of trial and error and is therefore time consuming. Moreover, the results are likely far from optimal in the sense of some predetermined set of criteria for ratio tracking performance and control effort. For such a complex dynamic...
Fuel cell stacks containing hundreds of individual cells are capable of generating high voltage and current values needed for transportation, commercial, residential, portable and industrial power applications. Although majority of hydrogen produced today comes from reformulated natural gas generated through a process that creates a significant amount of carbon dioxide, fuel cell is still a viable...
The following topics were dealt with: hybrid intelligent systems in control and diagnosis; hybrid intelligent systems in pattern recognition and time series; and hybrid intelligent systems in modeling, simulation and optimization.
This paper describes work in progress whereby a dynamic data replication scheme, under market-based control is applied to a proposed autonomic distributed data layer for managing configuration management data. The scope of the proposed autonomic system is described and also some experimental work are presented. Analytic approximations of the performance achieved for management requests under various...
