This report outlines some immediate opportunities for adjustments to reduce cost of contracting under GCC by around 10 to 15 percent. Those include: (i) removal of subsidy bank guarantee; (ii) adequate time for bid preparation; (iii) enhanced termination and Force Majeure clauses; (iv) adequate payment securities; (v) measures to enhance creditworthiness of the contracting authorities; and (vi) capping of penalties.

In this paper, the authors analyse framework performance and key performance indicator (KPI) values during the pre-lockdown period, soft-lockdown period, and post-lockdown lift-off period to show how the pandemic situations and governmental lockdown regulations can impact EV grid performance and EV charging business.

A battery thermal management system (BTMS) with functions of heat dissipation and heating by using only one liquid and one structure was studied, and a design for a new type of thermal management device structure was proposed.

This paper discusses a detailed analysis for reducing power loss and improving efficiency. In continuous conduction mode, the converters are tested with a constant duty cycle of 50%.

This review article aims to provide an overview of recent scientific literature on different charging strategies, including battery swapping, conductive- and inductive charging, and what data may be needed for charging different types of electric vehicles.

An exponential increase in electric vehicles on the road needs a follow-up in terms of the warranty. The proposed state of warranty (SOW) is a meta state that qualitatively describes the warranty fulfillment level of an electric vehicle.

This paper explored four pathways to a carbon-free transport sector in Germany in 2050 with foci on electricity, hydrogen, synthetic methane, or liquid synthetic fuels.

This research describes and develops a simple, self-explanatory, repeatable, and adaptable selection criterion aimed at helping city managers in prioritizing the roads of an urban network to be upgraded from t-road to e-road status. T

This paper analyses the simultaneity factor (SF) or peak power of public electric vehicle charging stations with different recharging strategies. This contribution is the first of its kind in terms of data quantity and, therefore, representativeness

This work gives an overview of the Saudi electrical energy system and then investigates the impact EVs technology in the electricity sector in Saudi Arabia and its relevant consequences.
