An Overview Of Bidirectional Electric Vehicles Charging System As A Vehicle To Anything (V2x) Under Cyber–Physical Power System (Cpps), Onur Elma, Umit Cali, Murat Kuzlu

Engineering Technology Faculty Publications

Nowadays, EVs are rapidly increasing in popularity, and are accepted as the vehicles of the future all over the world. The most important components are their battery and charging systems. The energy capacity of EVs’ batteries has a significant potential to supply different energy requirements. Therefore, EVs must be designed in accordance with bidirectional power flow, and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) should be upgraded as Electric Vehicle Power Exchange Equipment (EVPE). This power exchange infrastructure can be called Vehicle-to-Anything (V2X). V2X will also be the key solution for energy grids of the future that will turn into a much …

Application Of Hierarchical Clustering On Electricity Demand Of Electric Vehicles For Gep Problems, Seyedkazem Afghah, Hati̇ce Teki̇ner Moğulkoç, Bi̇jan Bi̇bak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Increasing fossil fuel consumption and consequently the effects of greenhouse gases (GHGs) on the environment and economy are a major concern for all nations and governments. Electric vehicles (EVs) with plug-in capabilities have the potential to ease such problems. However, the extracted power from the grid for charging the EVs' batteries will significantly impact daily power demand. To satisfy the increasing demand and ensure generation capacity adequacy, the generation expansion planning (GEP) problem is solved to determine the investment decisions for electricity generation sources. Even though there are no centralized utilities for generation planning in most markets, there is still …

Smart Charging Of Electric Vehicles To Minimize The Cost Of Chargingand The Rate Of Transformer Aging In A Residential Distribution Network, Arjun Visakh, M P. Selvan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Electric vehicles (EVs) exhibit several benefits over combustion engine vehicles, making them an attractive mode of mobility for the future. However, supplying the electrical energy required to recharge their batteries could adversely affect the power system infrastructure. The most severe impact of EV integration is expected to be on the distribution transformers, which are among the costliest equipment in the distribution network. Sustained overloads on the transformer could lead to accelerated aging and early retirement. As the rate of EV deployment rises, so does the probability of transformer overloads and the subsequent loss of life. There is a need for …

Optimal Speed Control Of Electric Vehicles In Traffic With Wireless Charging, Amina Jemi

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

With the increase in electric vehicle use in recent years and expected increase in the future, a wireless network provides a possible option to allow vehicles with a route while maintaining an approximate net-zero energy balance under certain scenarios. In this type of network, a collection of wireless charging pads is installed under the road, and energy transfer occurs, while a vehicle with wireless charging capability is driven over the charging pads. This thesis describes a methodology and modeling to solve an optimization problem involving a speed-controlled vehicle in traffic. The methodology incorporates a receding horizon dynamic model with constraints. …

Analysis Of Electromagnetic Interference Problems Causedbyhigh-Speed Multiplayer Boards With Split Referenceplane, Xin Fang

Masters Theses

"Digital/Analog ground partitioning has been used to isolate noisy digital and power current from sensitive analog currents in high-speed multiplayer printed circuit boards. The through-hole signal via enables convenient routing and component placement on the PCB and is used for signal interconnections when the signal traces are changing the layers. This design, however, breaks the current return path for signal traces that cross the two separated grounds, which causes undesired effects such as signal distortion and radiated emission.

Electromagnetic mechanism associated with them needs to be understood to control and suppress these undesired effects. In this paper, we have investigated …

An Optimal Charging Solution For Commercial Electric Vehicles, Bassam Al-Hanahi, Iftekhar Ahmad, Daryoush Habibi, Pravakar Pradhan, Mohammad A.S. Masoum

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

New government regulations and incentives promote the deployment of commercial electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions from gasoline-fueled vehicles. For commercial electric vehicles (CEVs) operating in a fleet, charging processes are often performed at the depot where they begin and end their daily driving cycles, as well as at public stations on their routes. With the large penetration of CEVs in depots, simultaneous charging increases peak demand, which in turn impacts the electric network and increases the demand cost of a facility. These depot charging conditions influence the charging schedules of CEVs along their routes and the total service cost …

Stability Regions In Time Delayed Two-Area Lfc System Enhanced By Evs, Ausnain Naveed, Şahi̇n Sönmez, Saffet Ayasun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

With the extensive usage of open communication networks, time delays have become a great concern in load frequency control (LFC) systems since such inevitable large delays weaken the controller performance and even may lead to instabilities. Electric vehicles (EVs) have a potential tool in the frequency regulation. The integration of a large number of EVs via an aggregator amplifies the adverse effects of time delays on the stability and controller design of LFC systems. This paper investigates the impacts of the EVs aggregator with communication time delay on the stability. Primarily, a graphical method characterizing stability boundary locus is implemented. …
