The kinetic battery model is a popular model of the dynamic behavior of a conventional battery, useful to predict or optimize the time until battery depletion. The model however lacks certain obvious aspects of batteries in-the-wild, especially with respect to (i) the effects of random influences and (ii) the behavior when charging up to capacity bounds. This paper considers the kinetic battery...

A unified, macroscopic, one-dimensional model is presented for the quantitative description of the process of dielectric charging in RF MEMS switches. The fidelity of the model relies upon the utilization of experimentally-obtained data to assign values to model parameters that capture the non-linear behavior of the dielectric charging process. The proposed model can be easily cast in the form ...

Electric vehicle has received more and more extensive attention, which is one of the major development directions of motor vehicles using new energy sources. Electric vehicles are development promising green transports, and important means to solve energy and environmental problems. The construction of charging infrastructure is an important prerequisite for the advancement of electric vehicles...

With the rapid growth of domestic electric vehicle charging loads, the peak-valley gap and power fluctuation rate of power systems increase sharply, which can lead to the increase of network losses and energy efficiency reduction. This paper tries to regulate network loads and reduce power system transmission loss by optimizing domestic electric vehicle charging loads. In this paper, a domestic...

The last five years has seen an incredibly rapid growth in the number of subscribers to the Internet and in the number of organisations which now consider a presence on the world wide web as vital to their commercial interests. With such growth arises the possibilities of not just advertising services on the WWW, but actually offering, delivering and gaining payment for information services ove...

The effects of variable charging rates and incomplete charging in off-grid renewable energy applications are studied by comparing battery degradation rates and mechanisms in lead-acid, LCO (lithium cobalt oxide), LCO-NMC (LCO-lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide composite), and LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells charged with wind-based charging protocols. Poor pulse charge acceptance, particul...

Many hopes lie on the introduction of electric vehicles (EV): reduction of transportation-related emissions, reduced dependence on oil imports, and improved integration of renewable energy sources. Meeting these goals will require a significant number of EVs on the streets and it will also require intelligent charging coordination. Through dynamic rates or local energy trading smart grids incen...

A novel distributed transient thermal model is proposed to investigate the thermal behavior of nickel emetal hydride (NiMH) batteries under fast-charging processes at constant currents. Based on the method of integral transformation, a series-form solution for the temperature field inside the battery core is obtained that takes account for orthotropic heat conduction, transient heat generation,...

A theoretical analysis of the circuits for a nitrogen laser driven by the Blumlein or capacitor charge transfer transmission line is given in detail. The electrical characteristics of the charge line for a special case of resonant charging are discussed and the effects of various parameters on voltage and current are investigated. By using MICRO-CAP software the transient behavior of the curren...

The foreign language effect (Costa et al., 2014) refers to a phenomenon in which the response to a moral dilemma depends on whether it is asked in a native or second language. This study explored this effect with Japanese participants using various types of moral dilemmas. Study 1 adopted twelve variations of trolley dilemmas from Mikhail (2007). Study 2 used seven types of moral dilemmas from ...
