When the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are transferring the parts from one machine to another in a job shop environment, it is possible that AGVsstopon their guidepaths since their batteries are discharged.Consequently, it is essential to establish at least one Battery Charging Storage (BCS) to replace full batteries with empty batteries for the stopped AGVs. Due to non-predictable routes fo...

A battery charging station (BCS) is a charging facility that supplies electric energy for recharging electric vehicles’ depleted batteries (DBs). A BCS has a certain number of charging bays and maintains a dynamic inventory of fullycharged batteries (FBs). This paper studies a BCS scheduling (BCSS) problem whose target is to schedule the charging processes of the charging bays such that the cha...

Battery storage system is emerging as an essential component of hybrid power system based on renewable energy resources such as solar and wind in order to make these sources dispatchable. Accurate modeling of battery storage system is essential in order to ensure optimal planning of hybrid power systems incorporating battery storage. Majority of the system planning studies involving battery sto...

The charging infrastructure plays a key role in the healthy and rapid development of the electric vehicle industry. This paper presents an energy management and control system of an electric vehicle charging station. The charging station (CS) is integrated to a grid-connected hybrid power system having a wind turbine maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controlled subsystem, photovoltaic (PV) MP...

The transportation industry contributes a significant amount of carbon emissions and pollutants to the environment globally. adoption electric vehicles (EVs) has potential not only reduce emissions, but also provide needed energy storage contribute distributed renewable generation. Similarly, providing adequate charging infrastructure plays momentous role in rapid proliferation Electric Vehicle...

This paper proposes a novel hybrid Monte Carlo simulation-genetic approach (MCS-GA) for optimal operation of a distribution network considering renewable energy generation systems (REGSs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs). The aim of this paper is to design an optimal charging /discharging scheduling of BESSs so that the total daily profit of distribution company (Disco) can be maximiz...

The exchange of the energy storage unit from an electric vehicle is considered as an alternative to in-vehicle battery charging or regeneration. If the exchange process is mechanically assisted or automated, the exchange can be accomplished in much less time than that required for in-vehicle charging. Many means for accomplishing battery exchange have been proposed or attempted, with various de...

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...
