This paper evaluates the annual operation and benefits of EVs and V2G in a microgrid environment and demonstrates different modes of operation. Guided by the gaps identified in the literature, one of the main contributions of this research is to uncover the impact of EV charging scenarios on the V2G operations.

This report assesses the impact and opportunities for developing countries of the boom in demand for raw materials entering into the production of electric vehicle batteries. In particular, it describes how trade policy could play an important role in helping them capture value from this expansion while managing the risks of overinvestment.

This study evaluated and quantified the energy consumption rates and energy regeneration rates for three heavy-duty battery electric vehicles (a step van, a yard tractor, and a class 8 truck) using driving cycle tests with a heavy-duty vehicle chassis dynamometer.

Electric vehicle sales are rising fast in Europe and a growing number of governments have set targets for phasing out new internal combustion vehicle sales. A fundamental input in deciding the feasibility of such policies is how quickly battery electric vehicles can reach price parity with their internal combustion counterparts. Further improvements in lithium-ion batteries will be critical and manufacturing strategy will also play a role. This report shows trajectories of cost developments for the production of battery electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles, and the implications for the adoption of electric vehicles in Europe.

The aim of this research is to compare the conventional power system with a diesel engine and alternative power system with a selected battery to identify convenient technology for zero-emission shipping according to the environmental and economic criteria.

This paper provides a detailed modeling approach based on continuous variables to minimize the installation costs for electrified highway kilometers while providing sufficient energy for a given set of representative tours of electric vehicles.

The report outlines an intelligent bi-directional converter (PCU) that interfaces with SRTPV and battery systems (with DC coupling) to manage the energy flow with EV chargers and the grid. The prioritisation of solar energy for local consumption before feeding it to the grid, deployment of a novel charging algorithm where the EV charging load is made to follow and the solar energy generation profile. Such a method reduces the need for costly battery energy.

This study provides a novel patent-based analysis framework for identifying the latent knowledge structure of technological domains by adopting dynamic perspectives. It uses patent data collected between 2010 and 2018 to systematically examine and visualize promising knowledge interactions that could foster the advancement of solid-state battery technology.

The rapid development of battery technology has promoted the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). To ensure the healthy and sustainable development of EVs, it is urgent to solve the problems of battery safety monitoring, residual value assessment, and predictive maintenance, which heavily depends on the accurate state-of-health (SOH) estimation of batteries.

This paper applies a case study approach for Australia and calculates the equipment life cycle assessment of diesel, hybrid and electric buses. This study prepared the assessment according to the procedures and methodologies outlined in the ISO 14040:2006 Environmental Management – Life Cycle Assessment.
