Lately, the depletion as well as negative environmental impacts of fossil fuels have directed the vehicle technology towards new alternative systems. Accordingly, the studies on electric vehicles (EVs) utilizing electric motor (EM) instead of conventional vehicles using fossil fuel consumer...

The development of hybrid electric two wheelers in recent years has targeted the reduction of on road emissions produced by these vehicles. However, added cost and complexity have resulted in the failure of these systems to meet consumer expectations. This paper presents a comparative study of...

In electric vehicles, air-conditioning (AC) units and electric heaters have been used for dehumidifying and heating the cabin. However, the air heating process in the electric heater causes higher power consumption due to a lower air temperature entering the electric heater from the sensible...

Battery state-of-charge (SOC) is a key parameter of the battery management system in the electric vehicle. To predict the practicable capacity of the battery in the degradation process, the cycle life model is built based on the aging cycle tests of the 6Ah Lithium Ion battery. Combined with the...

In the current paper a thorough analysis is conducted to assess, on one hand, the impact of vehicle electrification on electric grids and their related infrastructures, and, on the other, its potential contribution to GHG emission reduction. Such an analysis covers the timeframe 2011–2050,...

Renewable energy is one of the possible solutions when addressing climate change. Today, large-scale renewable energy integration needs to include the experience to balance the discrepancy between electricity demand and supply. The electrification of transportation may have the potential to deal...

Fuel expenses, diesel exhaust health externalities, and climate change are concerns that encourage the use of electric vehicles. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) policies provide additional economic incentives. This analysis evaluates the costs and benefits associated with the use of electric vehicles and...

With the increasing importance given to smart grid solutions in end-user premises, demand response (DR) strategies applied to smart households are important topics from both real time application and academic theoretic analysis perspectives, recently. In this study, a mixed-integer linear...

Fast charging stations are vital components for public acceptance of electric vehicle (EV). The stations are connected to the electric grid and can recharge an electric vehicle in less than 20min. Charging station development is highly influenced by the government policy in allocating station...

Increasing focus on sustainability affects all parts of the energy system. The future integration of the power and road transport system due to the introduction of electric drive vehicles influences the economically optimal investments and optimal operation of the power system. This work...
