This paper focuses on the problem of lateral stability of four hub-motor-in-wheels drive electric vehicle, 7 DOF (degrees of freedom) vehicle simulation model which is verified by field test is established based on Matlab/Simulink software. On basis of simulated model, BP neural network PID torque distribution controller of lateral stability is proposed. The sideslip angle at mass center and ya...

The Smart Grid promises to reshape how electricity is generated, distributed, and used. More delocalized generation based on renewable sources will transform end-users into prosumers (producers and consumers) of energy. These will require electric and supporting ICT infrastructures to be able to openly access the energy market. In this paper, we focus on the electric infrastructure issue relate...

the share of dc-based renewable energy resources (rers) and electricity storage systems are increasing due to developments of smart grid technologies. moreover, the share of dc-based load has rapid growth due to significant developments of power electronic technologies. therefore, a more flexible power system is required for efficient integration of emerging loads and generators. in this paper,...

A field mapping system based on external electrooptic sampling has been developed in order to determine the vectorial components of the electric near-field distribution within microwave integrated circuits. The capabilities of the setup are demonstrated by two-dimensional measurements of normal and tangential fields in a coplanar microwave distribution network at frequencies up to 15 GHz. Resul...

Smart grid is maximum optimization of energy management achieved through transmission and distribution automation, efficient use of existing network and integration of smart devices. Due to electric power system’s own characteristics, it cannot store energy in a large scale therefore electric generation, transmission, distribution and usage operations must be completed simultaneously. Due to it...

This paper designs a reliability distribution network with limited capacity under partial and complete facility disruptions. To increase the reliability of the distribution network, a new mixed integer linear programing model is developed by considering multiple mitigation strategies including diversification, fortification, and transshipment. The distribution network constitutes of reliable di...

The continuity in the electric supply of the electric installations is becoming one of the main requirements of the electric supply network (generation, transmission, and distribution of the electric energy). The achievement of this requirement depends from one side on the structure of the electric network and on the other side on the avaibility of the reserve source provided to maintain the su...

With electric vehicles becoming a more attractive alternative to combustion vehicles, they appear as new volatile loads in the low voltage distribution grids. Until now, they are at the best only considered rudimentarily in the planning process. This paper presents the modelling of electric vehicles as agents in a multi-agent simulation environment for planning purposes. Integrating a model of ...

The wind turbine has grown out to be one of the most common Renewable Energy Sources (RES) around the world in recent years. This study was intended to position the Wind Turbine (WT) on a wind farm to achieve the highest performance possible in Electric Distribution Network (EDN). In this paper a new optimization algorithm namely Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) is applied to solve the problem of opt...
