One solution to the limited range of battery electric vehicles is the provision of a public charging infrastructure to enable longer journeys. This paper describes a simulation model of a centralized computer routing and reservation system based on the current charging infrastructure deployed (early 2016) in Ireland using the Irish population density and a trip length distribution. Monte Carlo ...

This paper deals with two of the main tasks of Fault Monitoring Systems (FMS): fault detection and fault identiication. During fault detection, the FMS should recognize that the plant behavior is abnormal, and therefore, that the plant is not working properly. During fault identiication, the FMS should conclude which type of failure has occurred. The rst goal of this work is to consolidate a ne...

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...

This paper presents a fault location technique for transmission lines with minimum current measurement. This algorithm investigates proper current ratios for fault location problem based on thevenin theory in faulty power networks and calculation of short circuit currents in each branch. These current ratios are extracted regarding lowest sensitivity on thevenin impedance variations of the netw...

The fault free operation of power transformers is a factor of major economic importance and safety in power supply utilities and industrial consumers of electricity. In the current economic climate, Industries/Supply Utilites tighten their control on capital spending and make cutbacks in maintenance, an increased awareness is placed on the reliability of the existing electric power supply. Down...

condition monitoring of bldc motors due to their important applications is gaining more and more significance. rotor eccentricity is one of the most important sources of faults in these motors. up to now, detection methods of this fault under nonstationary conditions are limited to complicated and time-consuming methods using wavelets and cohen class algorithms which are difficult to implement ...

Distance relays must estimate accurately and quickly the distance to the fault even in presence of highly distorted input signals. Several digital filtering algorithms for distance relays have been proposed and some of them are used in practical applications. However nonlinear loads are becoming more and more common in electric power systems and that increases the corruption level of signals. F...
