Abstract With the rapid development of electric vehicles, the requirements for charging stations are getting higher and higher. In this study, we constructed a charging station topology network in Nanjing through the Space-L method, mapping charging stations as network nodes and constructing edges through road relationships. The experiment introduced five EV charging recommendation strategies (based on distance, number of fast charging piles, user preference, price, and overall rating) used to simulate disordered charging caused by different user preferences, and the impact of the network dynamic robustness in case of node failure is explored by simulating the… More >

Abstract To reduce the negative effects that conventional modes of transportation have on the environment, researchers are working to increase the use of electric vehicles. The demand for environmentally friendly transportation may be hampered by obstacles such as a restricted range and extended rates of recharge. The establishment of urban charging infrastructure that includes both fast and ultra-fast terminals is essential to address this issue. Nevertheless, the powering of these terminals presents challenges because of the high energy requirements, which may influence the quality of service. Modelling the maximum hourly capacity of each station based on… More >

Abstract Electrification of vehicles intensifies their cooling demands due to the requirements of maintaining electronics/electrical systems below their maximum temperature threshold. In this paper, passive cooling approaches based on heat pipes have been considered for the thermal management of electric vehicle (EV) traction systems including battery, inverter, and motor. For the battery, a heat pipe base plate is used to provide high heat removal (180 W per module) and better thermal uniformity (<5°C) for the battery modules in a pack while downsizing the liquid cold plate system. In the case of Inverter, two phase cooling system… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Electric vehicles (EVs) are the most interesting and innovative technology in the 21st century because of their enormous advantages, both technically and economically. Their emissions rate compared to fuel-based vehicles is negligible as they do not consume fuel and hence do not emit any harmful gases. However, their bulk production, adoption and lack of charging stations increase the stress of power stations due to modern-day lifestyles. If Electric vehicles demand increases drastically then conventional power stations will not bear their demand and if they generate electricity by conventional means it will be very costly and… More >

Abstract Electric vehicle (EV) is an ideal solution to resolve the carbon emission issue and the fossil fuels scarcity problem in the future. However, a large number of EVs will be concentrated on charging during the valley hours leading to new load peaks under the guidance of static time-of-use tariff. Therefore, this paper proposes a dynamic time-of-use tariff mechanism, which redefines the peak and valley time periods according to the predicted loads using the fuzzy C-mean (FCM) clustering algorithm, and then dynamically adjusts the peak and valley tariffs according to the actual load of each time… More >

Abstract The plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) technology can effectively address the issues of poor dynamics and higher energy consumption commonly found in traditional mining dump trucks. Meanwhile, plug-in hybrid electric trucks can achieve excellent fuel economy through efficient energy management strategies (EMS). Therefore, a series hybrid system is constructed based on a 100-ton mining dump truck in this paper. And inspired by the dynamic programming (DP) algorithm, a predictive equivalent consumption minimization strategy (P-ECMS) based on the DP optimization result is proposed. Based on the optimal control manifold and the SOC reference trajectory obtained by the More >

Abstract The couple between the power network and the transportation network (TN) is deepening gradually with the increasing penetration rate of electric vehicles (EV), which also poses a great challenge to the traditional voltage control scheme. In this paper, we propose a coordinated voltage control strategy for the active distribution networks considering multiple types of EV. In the first stage, the action of on-load tap changer and capacitor banks, etc., are determined by optimal power flow calculation, and the node electricity price is also determined based on dynamic time-of-use tariff mechanism. In the second stage, multiple… More >

Abstract This article aims to address the clustering effect caused by unorganized charging of electric vehicles by adopting a two-tier recommendation method. The electric vehicles (EVs) are classified into high-level alerts and general alerts based on their state of charge (SOC). EVs with high-level alerts have the most urgent charging needs, so the distance to charging stations is set as the highest priority for recommendations. For users with general alerts, a comprehensive EV charging station recommendation model is proposed, taking into account factors such as charging price, charging time, charging station preference, and distance to the More >

Abstract Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are widely regarded as having the potential to replace internal combustion engines in vehicles. Since fuel cells cannot recover energy and have a slow dynamic response, they need to be used with different power sources. Developing efficient energy management strategies to achieve excellent fuel economy is the goal of research. This paper proposes an adaptive equivalent fuel minimum consumption strategy (AECMS) to solve the problem of the poor economy of the whole vehicle caused by the wrong selection of equivalent factors (EF) in traditional ECMS. In this method, the kinematics More >

Abstract In today’s world, smart electric vehicles are deeply integrated with smart energy, smart transportation and smart cities. In electric vehicles (EVs), owing to the harsh working conditions, mechanical parts are prone to fatigue damages, which endanger the driving safety of EVs. The practice has proved that the identification of periodic impact characteristics (PICs) can effectively indicate mechanical faults. This paper proposes a novel model-based approach for intelligent fault diagnosis of mechanical transmission train in EVs. The essential idea of this approach lies in the fusion of statistical information and model information from a dynamic process.… More >
