in this paper, the development and optimization of power distribution control strategy (pdcs) have been performed for a hybrid energy storage systems (hess) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb). a common pdcs is based on the use of ultra-capacitor (uc) pack. a new simple pdcs is developed as a battery based one. for the battery based pdcs, four parameters are introduced for tuning the pdcs pe...

This paper describes our participation in the interactive track (ChiSwe Group) of the Social Book Search lab organized at CLEF 2016. This is our first participation in CLEF SBS interactive track. A total of 112 participants (29 native Chinese speakers 27 native English speakers, and 56 native speakers of other languages) participated in the SBS Interactive Track. We found that native Chinese sp...

Solar energy, despite being inexhaustible, has a major shortcoming; it is intermittent. As a result, there’s a need for it to be stored for later use. The widely used energy storage in photovoltaic system applications is the leadacid battery and the knowledge of its state-of-charge (SOC) is important in effecting efficient control and energy management. However, SOC cannot be measured while the...

A piecewise linear, time-varying model for modeling the charging and discharging processes of Li-ion batteries is introduced in this paper. Such a model consists of a group of piecewise linear model segments, whose parameters are adapted online over time. Thus, the combined overall model is capable of modeling nonlinear time-varying processes, such as a Li-ion battery charging and discharging p...

Battery management systems (BMS) are a key element in electric vehicle energy storage systems. The BMS performs several functions concerning to the battery system, its key task being balancing the battery cells. Battery cell unbalancing hampers electric vehicles’ performance, with differing individual cell voltages decreasing the battery pack capacity and cell lifetime, leading to the eventual ...

M any features of modern portable electronic devices—such as high-speed processors, colorful displays, opti-cal/magnetic storage drives, and wireless network interfaces—carry a significant energy cost. However, advances in battery technology have not kept pace with rapidly growing energy demands. Most laptops, handheld PCs, and cell phones use rechargeable electrochemical batteries—typically, l...

This project develops and implements a safe, reliable method for contactless charging of electric vehicle batteries. The charging system's interface to the electric utility operates with unity power factor. This system accommodates many battery types by using a novel, large signal linear digital controller that can track arbitrary current profiles. Non-ohmic charging occurs through a two part, ...

Proper electric and thermal management of an HEV battery pack, consisting of many modules of cells, is imperative. During operation, voltage and temperature differences in the modules/cells can lead to electrical imbalances from module to module and decrease pack performance by as much as 25%. An active battery management system (BMS) is a must to monitor, control, and balance the pack. The Uni...

With the global increase in the number of vehicles, environmental protection and energy issues had become increasingly prominent. People paid more and more attention to the electric vehicle as the future direction of the vehicle, but because the battery technology was relatively backward, it had become the bottleneck in the development of electric vehicles. So in the existing conditions, a perf...
