In the next years is expected an important rise in sales of electrical scooters in the entire world but especially in China. In order to address this challenge the electric scooter industry has to be more competitive in the transportation market and therefore important improvements, in terms of energy density and costs, have to be done in the electric storage system and in the electric propulsi...

Environmental Assessment of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles In the most comprehensive environmental assessment of electric transportation to date, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) are examining the greenhouse gas emissions and air quality impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). The purpose of the program is to evaluate th...

A new market based approach for transmission expansion planning in deregulated environments is presented in this paper. In this approach, transmission-planning decisions are made based on the electric power market conditions. The main contribution of this research is 1) Introducing a new probabilistic tool for analyzing the electric market conditions, 2) Defining new criteria for ranking transm...

The retail market for electric power does not exhibit the usual behavior of supply and demand. Strict regulation on utility companies restrict the prices consumers can be charged. Allowing the companies to vary the price can afford them the opportunity to pass costs along to the consumers and perhaps help avoid catastrophes such as the California electric crisis. In this paper we analyze a syst...

When there are differences in economic value of self-consumed and exported electricity, economic profitable PV installations are dependent of accurate predictions of selfconsumed electricity. In this study, minute based data of PV production and the electricity use were logged in a single family house in Sweden. It is shown that when self-consumed electricity is estimated, a low time resolution...
