A cost and time-effective novel method for determining the specific heat capacity of prismatic pouch lithium-ion cells using a simple setup easily available equipment is presented in this paper. Specific an important thermal parameter which not readily or provided by cell manufacturers. The results found work are compared with calorimetrically determined values maximum error 5% 1.4% have been c...

The integrated design of the drivetrain of a single person ultra light electric vehicle powered by batteries is optimized towards high efficiency and low mass. The drivetrain of each front wheel consists of an outer rotor permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), a gearbox and the power electronics with converter and control print. The complete drivetrain is optimized for the New European Driv...

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are driven by two energy convertors, i.e., an Internal Combustion (IC) engine and an electric machine. To make powertrain of HEV as efficient as possible, proper management of the energy elements is essential. This task is completed by HEV controller, which splits power between the IC engine and Electric Motor (EM). In this paper, a Genetic-Fuzzy control strategy...

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...

Based on the structural features of electric vehicle (EV) driven by in-wheel motors and the characteristics of low speed as well as high torque for in-wheel motors, regenerative braking method for in-wheel motors has been presented. All braking torque for vehicle deceleration is output by in-wheel motors under Medium-intensity braking condition for the sake of recovering the maximum braking ene...

Methanol, as a promising carbon-neutral fuel, has become research hotspot worldwide. In this study, pure gasoline and blended with five different volume ratios of methanol (10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 75%) were selected test fuels, which referred to M0, M10, M20, M30, M50, M75. The experiments on carbon pollutant emissions performance carried out passenger vehicle direct injection (GDI) turbocharged en...

The European Commission is examining test procedures to ensure that light-duty vehicle emissions are well controlled both in real use and over the legislative test cycle. At the same time, the UN Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) has developed a Worldwide harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) that is expected to be used for Type Approval in the EU in the future. To identify...

The National Embryo Donation Center [4] (NEDC) is a non-profit organization [5] that was established in 2002 in Knoxville, Tennessee. The organization [5] is endorsed and supported by several Christian-based associations such as the Christian Medical Association [6], Bethany Christian Services, and Baptist Health Systems. Its goal is to provide embryo donation [7] and embryo adoption [8] servic...
