Resilience Oriented Vehicle-to-Home Operation Based on Battery Swapping Mechanism
2021
Author(s): Mehrjerdi H
The electric vehicle (EV) battery swapping is a strategy to increase the acceptance rate of EVs and to deal with the concerns regarding lengthy charging times and range anxiety related to the EVs. This paper considers battery swapping and energy resilience in the building integrated with electric vehicle (EV), reserve battery, and solar energy.
Dynamic Analysis of Unilateral Harpoon-Shift Synchronizer for Electric Vehicles
2021
Author(s): Mo W, Walker PD, Tian Y, Zhang N
A novel unilateral Harpoon shift is developed as an alternative for conventional cone-type synchronizers used in electric vehicles equipped with multi-speed CLAMT, aiming to improve the gearbox's efficiency and performance.

2021
Author(s): Jeon DH, Cho JY, Jhun JP, Ahn JH, Jeong S, Jeong SY, Kumar A, Ryu CH, Hwang W, Park H, Chang C, Lee H, Sung TH
To meet the growing demand for electric vehicles, this paper introduces a novel concept to enhance the energy generation performance of piezoelectric energy harvesters used as charging stations on roads.
A Comprehensive Analysis of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) Systems and Scholarly Literature on the Application of Such Systems
2021
Author(s): Bibak B, Tekiner-Moğulkoç H
In this paper, by analyzing a precise and comprehensive literature review, the authors consider all aspects of implementing the EVs especially their supporting roles for the grid in vehicle to grid system (V2G).
Heterogeneous Fleet Recyclables Collection Routing Optimization in a Two-Echelon Collaborative Reverse Logistics Network From Circular Economic and Environmental Perspective
2021
Author(s): Cao S, Liao W, Huang Y
The recycle and reuse of recyclable wastes is an important way of a good social and economic cycle, and plays a decisive role in resource conservation and environmental protection. The idea of reverse logistics based on the principle of 'sustainable development and circular economy' has increasingly gained attention as the issue of resource wastage and environmental degradation has become more serious.
Study on the Economic Benefits of Retired Electric Vehicle Batteries Participating in the Electricity Markets
2021
Author(s): Xu X, Hu W, Liu W, Wang D, Huang Q, Chen Z
This study investigates the economic benefits of REVB participating in different Danish electricity markets. The objective function maximizes the profit in the different markets with considering REVB life loss cost in the operational process.
The Effects of Dynamic Traffic Conditions, Route Characteristics and Environmental Conditions on Trip-Based Electricity Consumption Prediction of Electric Bus
2021
Author(s): Li P, Zhang Y, Zhang K, Jiang M
As prediction of trip-based electricity consumption has become a prerequisite for the deployment of large-scale EB fleets, this study has established random forest-based models to systematically investigate the impacts of environmental conditions, route characteristics, and dynamic traffic conditions.
A Review on Recent Progress, Challenges and Perspective of Battery Thermal Management System
2021
Author(s): Lin J, Liu X, Li S, Zhang C, Yang S
This article mainly summarizes the thermal management models in the literature which can predict heat generation, heat transfer and the temperature distribution within the battery cell, module and pack.
Electric Vehicle-Attributed Environmental Injustice: Pollutant Transfer Into Regions With Poor Traffic Accessibility
2021
Author(s): Bai B, Wang Y, Xiong S, Ma X
In this paper, the transfer of EV-attributed PM2.5, SO2, and NOx inhalations in China are studied. Then by comparing the inhalations versus traffic accessibility among the impacted municipalities, this study sheds light on the environmental injustice lying in the mismatch between pollutant inhalations and traffic accessibility.
