Abstract: In order to increase the power rating of electric vehicles, insulated gate bipolar translator (IGBT) modules with multiple power terminals are usually adopted. The transient current sharing of the same polarity power terminals is related to the stray inductance in the branches of the bus-bar. Based on the laminated bus-bar of a three-phase inverter in the electric vehicles that consis...

Open access electric network faces severe congestions due to the increasing demand for power, multiple transactions in the transmission line and outage of network equipment, causing uncertainty and affecting the system security. In this article, different operating states are considered for congestion management in an electric power network. An effective algorithm to reschedule the generating u...

As part of the ongoing effort to be independent of petroleum resources and to be free from pollutant emission issues, various electric vehicles have been developed and tested through their integration with real world systems. In the current paper, yet another application specific EV for public transportation, an electric bus, is introduced and explained with results from the pilot test program ...

The driving range is an important issue of electric car manufacturers and electric vehicle fleet operators, and it directly influences the cost, operation and customer satisfaction. The estimation of Battery performance which has a significant impact on the driving range is an immature technique, however ARTC (Automotive Research & Testing Center) proposed to estimate parameters including energ...

This paper presents the development of an experimental platform to test a real-time controller for a small Permanent Magnetic Brushless Direct Current (PM BLDC) motor using a Controller Area Network (CAN) communication bus. The CAN communication bus transmits and receives information between modules to control the speed, acceleration/deceleration, and rotational direction of the motor. The desi...

In this paper, a new intelligent scheduling algorithm, which can improve the network utilization rate, had been present based on analyzing the vehicle CAN bus network schedulability in the vehicle CAN bus electrical control system. Through the mathematical modeling of the vehicle CAN bus network control system, simulation modeling of the 3-loop CAN bus system and computer simulation research ba...

Additional energy source of hybrid electric buses comprises new control tasks. One of the main challenges of hybrid electric buses is the integrated control between traction motor and brakes, associated with which is the problem of switching traction motor and brakes. Existing control techniques only provide a result of frequent switch and jerky ride. In this paper, we propose a control strateg...

A thrust allocation algorithm with capability to assist the power management system on a vessel with diesel-electric propulsion has recently been proposed. In the work presented here, the results show that the use of this thrust allocation algorithm produces a signi cant improvement in the stability of the electric bus frequency in the presence of large power load variations, as long as those l...
