Currently, Transport Vehicles (TVs) use Lead-Acid Batteries (LABs) for starting, lighting, igniting (SLI) and energy storage. Unfortunately LABs face significant performance failure rate due to over-charging, under-charging, degradation of protection systems amongst other issues. It is due to these reasons that the proposed research study seeks to enhance the performance of LABs for TVs (LABs-TVs)...
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate how network tariffs, such as the traditional energy-based network tariff (EBT) and power-based network tariffs (PBT), would affect the distribution system and the customers’ incentives to schedule their demand under an hourly electricity pricing scheme. For this purpose, a mixed integer linear programming model has been developed and used in a case...
In this paper the tracking and analytical infrastructure necessary to adequately manage the power demands of a fleet of electric vehicles is considered. The data from a 230 day trial of 15 vehicles has been used to simulate a single day with over 3000 vehicles on the road within the North East of England. Current analytical approaches are considered and possible future avenues are addressed. A general...
As part of its first programme, the Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Consortium has a US$4.4 million project assisted by European Community funding. This was initiated by the European members of the Consortium under the Brite-EuRam programme. At the Sixth Asian Battery Conference, an interim report was given on progress on eight of the ten tasks and, now that the project is in its final year, most of these...
Since 1985 zinc-flow-batteries have been used to power electric-vehicles (EVs) in capacities between 5 kWh and 45 kWh at voltages between 48 V and 216 V. About 50000 kms of testing experience, partially in direct comparison with originally assembled lead acid batteries, showed results with zinc-flow battery equipped EVs which were significantly better than was expected. Referring to about the same...
