This book provides selected results from the accompanying research of the project CROME. The vision of the project was to create and test a safe, seamless, user-friendly and reliable mobility with electric vehicles between France and Germany as a prefiguration of a pan-European electric mobility...

Die deutsche Bundesregierung hat das Ziel ausgegeben, bis zum Jahr 2020 einen Bestand von einer Million Elektrofahrzeugen in der deutschen Fahrzeugflotte zu erreichen. Bis zum Jahr 2030 soll der Bestand bis auf sechs Millionen Elektrofahrzeuge ansteigen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im Rahmen...

The deployment of battery-powered electric bus systems within the public transportation sector plays an important role to increase energy efficiency and to abate emissions. Rising attention is given to bus systems using fast charging technology. This concept requires a comprehensive...

This paper examines how plug-in electric vehicles can be managed to balance the fluctuation of renewable electricity sources. In this context, different control strategies are introduced. To investigate indirect control via electricity tariffs, an electricity market analysis is conducted of a...

Foreword / by Donald R. Sadoway -- Acknowledgments -- The electric battery and a low-carbon future -- The technical challenge: more powerful and longer lasting batteries -- The battery's environmental footprint : how clean is the technology? -- The battery as the enabler for electrifying...

All-electric ships are now a standard offering for energy/propulsion systems in boats. In this context, integrating fuel cells (FCs) as power sources in hybrid energy systems can be an interesting solution because of their high efficiency and low emission. The energy management strategy for...

This study investigates a new hybrid energy storage system (HESS), which consists of a battery bank and an ultra-capacitor (UC) bank, and a control strategy for this system. The proposed topology uses a bi-directional DC-DC converter with a lower power rating than those used in the traditional...

On 16 January 2013, all Boeing 787 Dreamliners were indefinitely grounded due to lithium-ion battery failures that had occurred in two planes. Subsequent investigations into the battery failures released through the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) factual report, the March 15th...

Accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) of batteries is one of the key problems in a battery management system. This paper proposes an adaptive SOC estimation method based on unscented Kalman filter algorithms for lithium (Li)-ion batteries. First, an enhanced battery model is proposed...

This paper proposes a novel battery cell balancing topology with reduced component count and simplified control. The balancing algorithm is based on the state of charge (SOC) of each individual cell instead of cell voltage. The principle of the proposed topology is analyzed and verified through...

This paper describes the development process and results of a battery system model with a fault simulation for electric propulsion vehicles. The developed battery system model can be used to verify control and fault diagnosis strategies of the supervisory controller in an electric propulsion...

Ein Standard stellt ein technisches Dokument dar, welches die Beschaffenheit, Leistung und Eigenschaften eines Produktes beschreibt. Er spezifiziert bspw. auch die Schnittstellen verschiedener Software in einem System, so dass eine Kompatibilität hergestellt wird (vgl. u.a. Cargill und Bolin,...

In the context of future e-mobility concepts one important research question is the location for public loading stations. Nowadays a study for Berlin has analyzed a location distribution for a e-mobility structure based on existing electricity infrastructure. In contrast to that this paper will...

The paper describes the results of a survey, carried out with leading EU experts, on the capacity of both fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to reach commercial success in the next twenty years. The success of electric transport is hampered by a combination of low range, scarce...

В статье рассматривается решение проблемы несовпадения периодов производства энергии и периодов ее потребления. Альтернативные источники обеспечиваются...

With the aim of better regulation of traffic systems in cities, this Bill amends the existing Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other provisions, it makes way for state governments to allow recognised automobile associations to issue driving certificates. It also lays down a higher penalty...

<b> </b>The adoption of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) is widely seen as an interim solution for the decarbonization of the transport sector. Within a PHEV, determining the required energy storage capacity of the battery remains one of the primary concerns for vehicle manufacturers and system...

The paper considers the problem of manufacturing energy mismatch of periods and periods of use. Alternative sources are provided with battery. However, traditional electrical and heating systems sometimes fail for days and even weeks.

The impact of the sampling time interval for energy demands on the optimal operational planning of residential cogeneration systems without electric power export was analyzed. To improve their operational flexibility, focus was also placed on battery installation. First, an optimal operational...

In this paper the environmental performance of an advanced hybrid energy storage system, comprising high power and high energy lithium iron phosphate cells, is compared with a stand alone battery concept composed of lithium manganese oxide cells. The methodology used to analyse the environmental...
