A study on plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging load and its impacts on distribution transformers loss-of-life, is presented in this paper. The assessment is based on residential PEV battery charging. As the exact forecasting of the charging load is not possible, the method for predicting the electric vehicle (EV) charging load is stochastically formulated. With the help of the stochastic mo...

Hybrid Electric Vehicles HIGHLIGHTS PROCESS AND TECHNOLOGY STATUS – A hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV) is a vehicle equipped with either an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electrical motor powered by electrical batteries. In 1997, Toyota sold in Japan the first modern hybrid electric car, the Toyota Prius. Today’s HEVs are an emerging technology in the automotive market, with manufacture...

Aiming at the features of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) which can be charged through the network, the moving process of starting the engine was analyzed; the vehicle energy management strategy was formulated by combing of pure electric control strategy and economic model control strategy. Using genetic algorithm to optimize the upper and lower fluctuation limit values of state of char...

Plug-in electrical vehicles (PEV) are capable of both grid-to-vehicle (G2V) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) power transfer. The advantages of developing V2G include an additional revenue stream for cleaner vehicles, increased stability and reliability of the electric grid, lower electric system costs, and eventually, inexpensive storage and backup for renewable electricity. Here we show how smart con...

Many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. The full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (V) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. The size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. This research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. This vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

This paper proposes a stochastic dynamic programming framework for the optimal energy management of a smart home with plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) energy storage. This work is motivated by the challenges associated with intermittent renewable energy supplies and the local energy storage opportunity presented by vehicle electrification. This paper seeks to minimize electricity ratepayer cost, ...

In order to further improve the whole vehicle economy of a novel plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), considering two main factors, which are the driving working conditions and the driving distance, influencing the whole vehicle economy, a control strategy based on fuzzy self-adaptive online recognition is provided. A fuzzy working condition recognition algorithm is designed to online recogn...
