Modeling Transport Phenomena in Selective Catalytic Reductant Catalytic Converter with NH3 as Reductant for NO Degradation

In the current study, reduction of nitrogen oxide from exhaust gas in the presence of NH3 as reductant on selective catalytic reductant (SCR) impregnated catalytic converter was simulated using Comsol© software. Mass transfer (one-dimensional) and heat transfer (three-dimensional) governing equations were taken into account to model the unsteady state behavior of the catalytic converter. Modeli...

Real-time HEV energy management strategies

Hybrid electric vehicles require an adequate energy management strategy in order to actually optimize their consumption. Many real-time controls were recently proposed in literature, but as each study is performed in a specific context, it is difficult to compare their efficiencies. The present paper proposes a comparison between 3 recent promising real-time strategies: adaptive equivalent cons...

Optimal Energy Management and Feasibility Study of a Hybrid Energy System for a Remote Area

This paper investigates impacts of possible chances in energy policy and consumption behavior on optimal energy management and feasibility study of a hybrid energy system. The study was performed on a remote area near Esfarjan, a village located in Shahreza, Iran. In the main scenario, the current energy policy is applied while the consumption behavior of customers is studied by means of an inc...

Elimination of Harmonics in a Multilevel Converter for HEV Applications

– One promising technology to interface battery packs in electric and hybrid electric vehicles are multilevel converters. In the work presented here, it is shown how the switching times (angles) in a multilevel inverter can be chosen to achieve a required fundamental voltage and not generate speciÞc higher order harmonics. The method gives a complete solution to the problem in that all possible...
