Electric vehicles (EVs) have great potential as a modern mobility concept. Electricity already relies on a broad infracstructure and is available anywhere in developed countries. Furthermore, EVs are emmission-free which makes them the preferable form of individual transportation in urban areas where air pollution is often alarmingly high. However, operating EVs has several drawbacks compared t...

The precise position control, of multi-motor electric vehicles (EVs) by generating the asymmetric pulse generation is presented. The energy saving algorithm is implemented in the power drain control of EV system to improve the electrical safety and slip control of electric vehicle. The acceleration and Deceleration of the electric vehicle for wheel slip control were analyzed using the parameter...

Variability and uncertainty of wind power generation increase the cost of maintaining the short-term energy balance in power systems. As the share of wind power grows, this cost becomes increasingly important. This thesis examines different options to mitigate such cost increases. More detailed analysis is performed on three of these: flexibility of conventional power plants, smart charging of ...

Complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Batteries, ultra capacitors (UCs), and fuel cells (FCs) are widely being proposed for electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs/PHEVs) as energy sources. The increasing popularity of EVs and PHEVs can be attributed to the savings in fuel costs, compared to conventio...

As an important part of the smart grid, Electric Vehicles (EVs) could be a good measure against energy shortages and environmental pollutions. In this paper, based on the relevant EVs development policy, the private EVs charging load is investigated. Based on statistical data, the Monte Carlo method is applied to determine the one-trip driven distance for the private EV. And by analyzing the EV...

Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained the attention of many authorities, automakers and researchers due to their considerable energy saving and emission reduction. One of the main issues that must be considered in design of a road vehicle is the calculation of aerodynamic forces. This issue also must be scrutinized in the design of EVs. Installation of rear spoiler is one of the solutions propose...

There has been a global effort to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In an electric resource scheduling, emission dispatch and load economic dispatch problems should be considered. Using renewable energy resources (RESs), especially wind and solar, can be effective in cutting back emissions associated with power system. Further, the application of electric vehicles (EV) capable of b...

In this paper, the effect of renewable energy resources (RERs), demand response (DR) programs and electric vehicles (EVs) is evaluated on the optimal operation of a smart distribution company (SDISCO) in the form of a new bi-level model. According to the existence of private electric vehicle parking lots (PLs) in the network, the aim of both levels is to maximize the profits of SDISCO and the P...

Electric vehicles (EVs) have been gaining popularity due to their environmental friendliness and efficiency. EV charging station networks are scalable solutions for supporting increasing numbers of EVs within modern electric grid constraints, yet few tools exist to aid the physical configuration design of new networks. We use neural networks to predict individual charging station usage statisti...

The continued increase of gas prices and concerns on greenhouse gas emissions in recent years have led to the steadily increasing acceptance of electric vehicles (EVs), especially the plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), by consumers. It seems that PHEVs are poised to become a serious contender for a noticeable share of the car market in the near future. As PHEV draws power through power e...
