2021
Author(s): Aghajani GR, Heydari I
This study was conducted to investigate the energy management for production and storage resources. For this purpose, the authors considered the market price of energy, the prices quoted by distributed generation sources, and electric vehicles in the grid and responsive loads.
Disruptive Innovation, Business Models, and Encroachment Strategies: Buyer’s Perspective on Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Technology
2021
Author(s): Benzidia S, Luca RM, Boiko S
According to disruptive innovation theory, customers are swayed by new market entrants through low-end encroachment strategies and/or new market disruption, but these predictions do not account for the rising interest in product categories such as electric vehicles in emerging markets.
Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for the Energy Management of Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles in Real Time
2021
Author(s): Pereira DF, Lopes FDC, Watanabe EH
Fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEVs) are emerging as a promising alternative for a more environment-friendly transportation. This article recommends an energy management system (EMS) for FCHEVs. The EMS is based on nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) and employs a recurrent neural network (RNN) for modeling a proton exchange membrane FC.
Design and Optimization of an Electric Vehicle Wireless Charging System Using Interleaved Boost Converter and Flat Solenoid Coupler
2021
Author(s): Yao Y, Gao S, Wang Y, Liu X, Zhang X, Xu D
This article proposes an EVWCS using interleaved boost converter (IBC) and flat solenoid coupler (FSC). The closed-loop control between the primary and secondary is realized by adjusting the duty cycle of the IBC.
The Impact of Smart Connectivity Features on Customer Engagement in Electric Vehicles
2021
Author(s): Ullah A, Zhang Q, Ahmed M
Electric vehicle (EV) technology is still developing, and most of the available brands market them as either environmentally friendly or operationally economical compared to internal combustion engine based traditional vehicles.
A Time-of-Use Pricing Strategy for Managing Electric Vehicle Clusters
2021
Author(s): Vuelvas J, Ruiz F, Gruosso G
In this paper the authors have proposed a contract between an aggregator and a fleet of electric vehicles, allowing to design prices that induce users to modify their energy consumption in demand response programs. A demand response program for electric vehicles (EV) is proposed to control the charging decision process in EV clusters.
