This paper presents a smart DC micro-grid system for plug-in electric vehicle charging and discharging. This DC microgrid integrates the plug-in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) & plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) together with the AC supply module, storage energy module, and intelligent control module. By connecting with the AC power source and the storage energy module, this grid can of...

Abstract: This study presents an inductive power transfer (IPT) system for electric vehicles (EVs) based on EE-shaped ferrite cores. The issues of the IPT system such as efficiency, air gap, displacement, dislocation, and motion are discussed. Furthermore, finite element analysis software is utilized to simulate the IPT system operated under large air gap conditions. Simulation and measurement ...

Thermal management of batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is essential for effective operation in all climates. This has been recognized in the design of battery modules and packs for pre-production prototype or production EVs and HEVs. Designs are evolving and various issues are being addressed. There are trade-offs between performance, functionality, volum...

Electric vehicle batteries (EVBs) are crucial components of electric vehicles (EVs). They also account for a major share of the initial prices of EVs, inhibiting the diffusion of green mobility solutions. After having been removed from the vehicles due to an increased internal resistance or an insufficient capacity to store energy, EVBs may be recycled, refabricated, or reused to comply with le...

As a clean energy technology, the development of electric vehicles (EVs) is challenged by lightweight design, battery safety, and range. In this study, our simulations indicate that using a flexible structure of battery module has the potential to overcome the limitations in battery-powered EVs, contributing to a new design. Specifically, we focus on optimizing the structure of vehicle battery ...

The anticipation of a large penetration of EVs (electric vehicles) into the market brings up many technical issues. The power system may put at risk the security and reliability of operation due to uncontrolled EV charging and discharging. It is necessary to carry out intelligent scheduling for charging and discharging of EVs. In this paper, a smart management and scheduling model is proposed f...

The increasing share of electric vehicles (EVs) in the coming years will lead to an additional load. Most vehicles come home during the afternoon and evening. Charging them directly after their arrival (plug and charge strategy) would lead to an increase of the consumption peak in the evening. But EVs are usually connected to the grid for longer than they need to charge their batteries. This en...

The world is two-thirds of the way through a century-long cycle of rapid urbanisation, at the end of which more than 70% of people will live in cities (World Health Organization, 2014). The urban transformation has become a major contributor to economic, demographic, social and environmental change. Electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular over the last few years and are conside...

electric vehicles (evs) have gained the attention of many authorities, automakers and researchers due to their considerable energy saving and emission reduction. one of the main issues that must be considered in design of a road vehicle is the calculation of aerodynamic forces. this issue also must be scrutinized in the design of evs. installation of rear spoiler is one of the solutions propose...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are currently being considered as promising drug delivery vehicles. EVs are naturally occurring vesicles that exhibit many characteristics favorable to serve as drug delivery vehicles. In addition, EVs have inherent properties for treatment of cancers and other diseases. For research and clinical translation of use of EVs as drug delivery vehicles, in vivo tracking ...
