The global transition towards sustainable transportation solutions has spurred the rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) as a promising alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. However, adoption EVs continues accelerate, focus shifted ensuring longevity vehicle operations worldwide. This abstract aims provide an in-depth exploration multifaceted aspects surrounding EV o...

In our previous study, we reported a miniaturized electrical field flow fractionation device (micro-EFFF) that used a pulsed voltage (PV) to increase the effective electric field and, hence, improved the separation performance. In this work, we developed two micro-EFFFs with planar or segmented electrode design and investigated the particle movement in the flow channels under a PV. Numerical si...

This paper deals with sensor fault detection within a reconfigurable direct torque control of an induction motor-based electric vehicle. The proposed strategy concerns current, voltage, and speed sensors faults that are detected and followed by post faulttolerant control to allow the vehicle continuous operation. The proposed approach is validated through experiments on an induction motor drive...

This paper describes a feasibility study that is included with the research, development and testing of a micro communications sonobuoy deployable by Maritime Fixed wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (M-UAV) and rotor wing Quad Copters which are both currently being developed by the University of Adelaide. The micro communications sonobuoy is developed to act as a seamless communication relay betwee...

In recent years, environmental and energy problem has become one of the world's hot spot problems. Today, the road cars not only consume a lot of oil resource, but also cause serious pollution to human survival environment. Therefore, to save energy and protect environment, a green environmental friendly electric car instead of fuel car will be needed for sustainable development of the society....

Traditional macro and micro-electroporation devices utilize facing electrodes, which generate electric fields inversely proportional to their separation distance. Although the separation distances in micro-electroporation devices are significantly smaller than those in macro-electroporation devices, they are limited by cell size. Because of this, significant potential differences are required t...

Recharging a plug-in electric vehicle is more time-consuming than refueling an internal combustion engine vehicle. As a result, charging stations may face serious congestion problems during peak traffic hours in the near future with the rapid growth of plug-in electric vehicle population. Considering that drivers' time costs are usually expensive, charging congestion will be a dominant factor t...

In this work the effect of weight reduction using advanced lightweight materials on the mass, energy use, and cost of conventional and battery electric passenger vehicles is compared. Analytic vehicle simulation is coupled with cost assessment to find the optimal degree of weight reduction minimizing manufacturing and total costs. The results show a strong secondary weight and cost saving poten...

Dynamic behavior analysis of electric motors is required in order to accurately evaluate the performance, energy consumption and pollution level of hybrid electric vehicles. Simulation tools for hybrid electric vehicles are divided into steady state and dynamic models. Tools with steady-state models are useful for system-level analysis whereas tools that utilize dynamic models give in-depth inf...
