Emissions Reduction From Passenger Cars With RCCI Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technology
2020
Author(s): Benajes J, García A, Monsalve-Serrano J, Martínez-Boggio S
This work investigated the potential of implementing the dual-fuel Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) combustion mode in a plug-in hybrid vehicle platform. The results are compared against other electrifications levels and no-hybrid vehicles under the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) normative.
Implementation Framework for Automotive Technology: How to Introduce Hybrid and Electric Vehicles Into Automotive Production Lines
2020
Author(s): Otto WL, Dirkse van Schalkwyk T, Schutte CSL
In 2016 Mercedes-Benz SA introduced hybrid vehicles into their East London factory, pioneering high-voltage automotive manufacturing in the country. When the implementation decision was made, the factory was given less than a year to introduce this dangerous new technology at a level that met stringent international safety and quality standards, against a backdrop of a lack of applicable local legislation.
Grid Balancing Support Through Electric Vehicles Mobile Storage
2020
Author(s): Oceano A, Rodella G, Rizzo R, Di Noia LP, Brusaglino G
The e-Mobility is one of the most important fields of interest in the frame of green energy utilization, new technologies are now available for employment in the system Vehicle - User - Infrastructure.
From Electric Mobility to Hydrogen Mobility: Current State and Possible Future Expansions
2020
Author(s): Ala G, Castiglia V, Di Filippo G, Miceli R, Romano P, Viola F
The expansion of electric vehicles in Italy, has already started a few years ago, but some aspects prevent its expansion. Currently users prefer hybrid technology, mainly due to socio-economic factors related to initial investment and anxiety about autonomy.
Financial and Symbolic Incentives Promote ‘Green’ Charging Choices
2020
Author(s): Kacperski C, Kutzner F
Electromobility can contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions if usage behavior is aligned with the increasing availability of renewable energy. To achieve this, smart navigation systems can be used to inform drivers of optimal charging times and locations.
E-Mobility Scheduling for the Provision of Ancillary Services to the Power System
2020
Author(s): Gulotta F, Rancilio G, Blaco A, Bovera F, Merlo M, Moncecchi M, Falabretti D
In the present paper, the charging of an electric vehicles fleet is scheduled in order to provide power balance regulation to the electric grid. The starting of e-cars charging can be optimized according to predetermined limits set by users, in order to adjust the power exchange profile of the aggregated fleet. The
Analysis of Asymmetry in the Resonant Stage of Multiphase Converters for E-Mobility Charging Station
2020
Author(s): Arnaudov D, Marinov MB, Stefanova-Pavlova M
The paper presents a study of a multiphase converter for charging stations for electric vehicles. The converter consists of parallel operating units based on high-frequency resonant inverters. Simulation models of multiphase converters have been developed.
Adopting the Topology Optimization in the Design of High-Speed Synchronous Reluctance Motors for Electric Vehicles
2020
Author(s): Credo A, Fabri G, Villani M, Popescu M
This article deals with the design of high-speed synchronous reluctance motors for electric vehicle applications. The need to enhance the power density and to lower the cost leads to research on high-speed motors with a reduced amount of rare earth.
On the Ease of Being Green: An Investigation of the Inconvenience of Electric Vehicle Charging
2020
Author(s): Dixon J, Andersen PB, Bell K, Træholt C
This paper provides a quantitative investigation of the inconvenience of charging electric vehicles (EV) in comparison to the internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) in terms of the time penalty that drivers are likely to face.
Charging Infrastructure Requirements to Support Electric Ride-Hailing in U.S. Cities
2020
Author(s): Nicholas M, Slowik P, Lutsey N
This research analyzes two pressing questions that are highly relevant across major U.S. cities, namely, quantifying how many electric ride-hail vehicles can be supported by a growing public charging infrastructure network and how many additional dedicated chargers could pave the way for a fully electric ride-hailing fleet.
