It has been recognized that an increased penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) may potentially alter load profile in a distribution network. As EVs are regarded as a diversely distributed load so a deterministic method, to predict EV charging load, may not account for all possible factors that could affect the power system. Thus, a stochastic approach is applied that takes into account various...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are an effective solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. Safety is the most crucial issue in the automotive industry and any fault in the EV drivetrain may results in a fatal accident. This paper discusses the dynamic performance of EVs under drivetrain Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) switch faults and presents the suitable Fault Diagnosis Algorit...

Abstract: In this paper we are studying a problem related to the traction of an electrical vehicle (EV). The power unit is a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) piloted by the trapezoidal control, strategy. The models of the electrical vehicle, of the motor based on finite element identification and the drive, are implemented under Matlab/Simulink 7.1. The control is ensured by four close...

DISCUSSION: The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program is an integral part of California’s mobile source control efforts and will secure increasing air quality benefits for California now and into the future. At the January 25,2001, public hearing, the Board approved major changes to the ZEV regulations that will assure the long-term success of the ZEV program. In addition, in January, the Board d...

This work provides an overview on current efforts for communication between interconnected electric vehicles and supply equipments also known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) communication. Such efforts are core enablers for electric vehicles being used for demand side management. Hence this work investigates the ability to adapt the EV charging process in near real-time in case of grid violations thro...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) allows vehicles to exchange information about road and traffic conditions through wireless communications. Nevertheless, providing reliable and authenticated information without violating the user's privacy seems contradictory. In this paper, we propose an Anonymous Announcement System especially designed for Electric Vehicle (EV) in VANETs to achieve the aforem...

With a development of Hybrid Electric Vehicle(HEV), A photovoltaic(PV) generation system is used for charging batteries in many cases. A dc/dc converter using PV power for a battery charger requires a high efficiency. In this paper, A ZVS boost converter using the renewable energies for HEV charger is proposed. Through the theoretical analysis and experimental result, operation modes and charac...
