Specifying an energy source for an AUV is usually a compromise between performance and cost. For most vehicles and most missions, high specific energy primary lithium batteries are not a practical option due to cost. One solution that shows promise and affordable cost is to use a hybrid approach that combines low cost secondary batteries with a fuel cell or combustion energy source. Exploring t...

In the present paper, the idea of braking energy regeneration and reusing that energy during acceleration for a refuse truck is comprehended. According to their driving cycle, the refuse trucks have a good potential for braking energy regeneration. On the other hand, hydraulic hybrid is a powertrain with high power density which is appropriate for energy regeneration. In the primary stage of th...

With ever growing concerns on energy crisis and environmental issues, alternative clean and energy efficient vehicles are favoured for public applications. Internal combustion engine(ICE)-powered series hybrid buses and fuel cell (FC) hybrid buses, respectively as a near-term and long-term strategy, have a very promising application prospect. The series hybrid vehicle utilizes an ICE/FC as the ...

In hybrid and renewable energy system, multiple-input converter is the best choice to integrate various input sources for supplying power to the load. In this paper, a multi-input DC-DC converter having ability to transfer energy from one of the sources to the energy storage source is presented. This feature results in improved reliability. In addition to this, energy sources having distinct vo...

Hybrid power system can be used to reduce energy storage requirements. The influence of the Deficiency of Power Supply Probability (DPSP), Relative Excess Power Generated (REPG), Energy to Load Ratio (ELR), fraction of PV and wind energy, and coverage of PV and wind energy against the system size and performance were analyzed. The technical feasibility of PV-wind hybrid system in given range of...
