Design of Intelligent Charger for Electric Vehicles

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract For providing power from Vehicle to grid, the role of intelligent charger comes in to the action. The intelligent charger for vehicle to grid power flow comprises of AC-DC PWM converter and bidirectional converter. During the onpeak load condition,...

Embedded Systems for Intelligent Vehicles

There is a growing need for some kind of personal driving assistant which is likely to become more acute as the free, independent , and very mobile baby boomers continue to age. Up to 86.5% of the US workforce commutes to work every day through personally owned automobile, often driving alone a car, a van, or a truck, at times in a commute as long as two hours. Urban planning and life style are...

Optimal Intelligent Control of Plug-in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles in Smart Electric Grids

In this paper, Plug-in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (PFCEV) is considered with dual power sources including Fuel Cell (FC) and battery Energy Storage. In order to respond to a transient power demand, usually supercapacitor energy storage device is combined with fuel cell to create a hybrid system with high energy density of fuel cell and the high power density of battery. In order to simulate the...

Intelligent Energy Management in Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Energy management in vehicles is an important issue because it can significantly influence the performances of the vehicles. Improving energy management in vehicles can deliver important benefits such as reducing fuel consumption, decreasing emission, lower running cost, reducing noise pollution, and improving driving performance and ease of use. According to Mainins (Manins, 2000), each year m...
