One of the big concerns of big cities is facing with the increase of fossil fuel vehicles in the roads. The cars intensify greenhouse gas emission in civic centers. One approach to reduce the emission is replacing the cars by Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PEVs). In spite of reducing the emission, PEVs have some adverse effect on electric distribution networks. Technical challenges such as load and...

That is, the electric potential difference is the work that must be done, per unit charge, to move from  to  with no change in kinetic energy. Remember not to confuse electric potential energy ∆ which is in joules, and electric potential difference ∆ which is in units of  =    The electric field is perpendicular to equipotentials, that is lines of constant electric poten...

Energy providing to meet user’s requirements is an endless cause of concern. The people living in the developed countries, (G8) represent 13.1% of the world’s population. That 13.1% consumed in 2002 about 1500 Giga Joules per habitant in energy. For the remaining countries’ development, the need in energy will increase up to 500% in relation with the current level of need. Hence, it is necessar...

The binding energies of all hydrogen isotopes have been calculated successfully for the first time in a previous paper [J Fusion Energy, 30 (2011) 377], using only the electric and magnetic Coulomb’s laws, without using the hypothetical shell model of the nucleus and its mysterious strong force. In this paper, an elementary calculation gives the order of magnitude of the nuclear interaction. Th...

In electric arc furnace steelmaking units, the essential parameters are reducing price, increasing production and decreasing environmental pollution. Electric arc furnaces are the largest users of electric energy in industry. The most important techniques that can be used to reduce the electric energy consumption in electric arc furnaces are scrap preheating, stirring, use of burners and hot ch...

Increasing electric vehicles usage, as a promising solution for environmental issues, might have unexpected implications, since it entails some changes in different sectors and scales in energy system. In this respect, this research aims at investigating the long-term impacts of electric vehicles deployment on Iran's energy system. Accordingly, Iran's energy system was analyzed by LEAP model in...

This paper discusses about the potential need for electric vehicles (EV), charging station (CS) infrastructure and its challenges for the Indian scenario. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are promising class of drive trains in the coming years especially in urban regions in order to shift the decentralized exhaust emission in megacities to centralized power plants in rural areas. Up to now the ...
