The environmental aspect like oil depletion, global heating and CO2 gas emissions have become a concern and have propelled the development of an efficient and extendable energy management system (EMS) using fuel cell and battery sources for Hybrid Electric Vehicles. In this paper, a poser of a hybrid electric vehicle with energy management system with multiple source of energy is developed and ...

The paper describes the application of Model Predictive Control @fPC) methodologies for application to electric and hybrid-electric vehicle drivetrain formats incorporating multiple energylpower sources. Particular emphasis is given to the co-ordinated management of energy flow from the multiple sources to address issues of extended vehicle range and battery lifetime for allelectric drivetrains...

In this paper Hybrid Electric vehicle (HEV) technology provides an effective solution for achieving higher fuel economy and better performances with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. For Electric vehicle applications, Switched reluctance motor (SRM) is the best suitable one of all the available motors. To increase the driving miles of the electric vehicles, a photovoltaic (PV) panel is mounted ...

A utomotive electrical systems are becoming increasingly complex as more and more electrical and electronic equipment is incorporated into new vehicles. With this trend, the growing demand for electrical power is placing greater demands on the automobile’s primary source of electrical energy storage — the lead-acid battery. Whether the vehicle relies on an internal combustion engine, is a hybri...

This addendum adds to the analysis of ‘An innovation and policy agenda for commercially competitive plug-in hybrid electric vehicles’ (D M Lemoine et al 2008 Environ. Res. Lett. 3 014003) to the case of all-electric vehicles (EVs). We pay particular attention to grid impacts, break-even battery costs, and the three ways in which EVs could dramatically change the results we obtained for plug-in ...

– One promising technology to interface battery packs in electric and hybrid electric vehicles are multilevel converters. In the work presented here, it is shown how the switching times (angles) in a multilevel inverter can be chosen to achieve a required fundamental voltage and not generate speciÞc higher order harmonics. The method gives a complete solution to the problem in that all possible...
