The rapid development of Electric Vehicles (EVs) seen in recent years has been drawing increasing attentions from the public, markets, decision-makers, and academia. Notwithstanding the progress, issues still remain. Because of the widely complained disadvantages of limited battery capacity and long charging time, charging convenience has become a top concern that greatly hinders the adoption o...

Electric vehicle, as a clean energy industry, is an important branch. Electric vehicles not only are the energy of the electric user, but also can be used as mobile and distributed energy storage unit to the grid. As a precondition of safety operation for power grid, studies of EVs’ charging load characteristics is also the theoretical basis of intelligent scheduling EVs charging orderly. This ...

Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) charging stations couple future transportation systems and power systems. That is, PEV driving and charging behavior will influence the two networks simultaneously. This paper studies optimal planning of PEV fast-charging stations considering the interactions between the transportation and electrical networks. The geographical targeted planning area is a highway t...

A transition from metal-like double-layer capacitive charging to redox-like charging was observed in electrochemical ensemble Coulomb staircase experiments on solutions of gold nanoparticles of varied core size. The monodisperse gold nanoparticles are stabilized by short-chain alkanethiolate monolayers and have 8 to 38 kilodaltons core mass (1.1 to 1.9 nanometers in diameter). Larger cores disp...

In recent years, new energy vehicles in Beijing have developed rapidly. This creates a huge demand for charging. It is difficult problem to accurately identify the charging behavior of and evaluate use effect social piles (CART piles) Beijing. response, this paper established characteristics analysis model logistics based on positioning data vehicles. also researched vehicle SOC electricity ana...

We consider settings where electric vehicle drivers participate in a market mechanism to charge their vehicles. Existing work typically assumes that participants are fully rational and can report their charging preferences accurately. However, this may not be reasonable in settings with non-experts. To explore this, we design a novel game called Bid2Charge and compare a fully expressive interfa...

Given the dynamic nature of the mission of a wireless sensor network (WSN), and of the environment in which it is usually deployed, network reprogramming is an important activity that enables the WSN to adapt to the mission and/or environment. One important component of a reprogramming protocol is code dissemination and maintenance, during which new code is propagated to relevant WSN nodes. Sev...

A new multi-device wireless power transfer scheme that reduces the overall charging time is presented. The proposed scheme employs the intermediated energy storage (IES) circuit which consists of a constant power driving circuit and a super-capacitor. By utilizing the characteristic of high power density of the super-capacitor, the receiver can receive and store the energy in short duration and...

Electric vehicles (EVs) have the advantages of low pollution, energy consumption, and high efficiency, so they are highly valued by governments, enterprises, consumers. However, promotion use electric is restricted to a certain extent because their limited range. This paper selects vehicle intercity medium- long-distance travel as research object, takes classical flow-capturing location problem...
