Abstract

The Tool for Rapid Assessment of City Energy (TRACE) is used for conducting rapid assessments of energy use in cities. It helps prioritize sectors with significant energy savings potential, and identifies appropriate energy efficiency interventions across six sectors-transport, municipal [...]

Abstract

The World Bank Group (WBG) has focused on reducing the environmental impacts of its internal operations and improving corporate environmental practices since 2002, when the WBG President announced WBG's commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The objective of this document [...]

Abstract

The report gives an extensive overview of the results of the project entity Electric Commercial Vehicles (ECV) that was active 2012–2016 under EVE programme of the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (Tekes). Contributions to this final report have been made [...]

Abstract

Flywheel systems are attractive in hybrid and electric vehicles due to their ability to handle power during acceleration and braking. The combination of a flywheel device with a battery source has several advantages such as high peak power capacity, high energy density and reduction [...]

Abstract

Charging stations are becoming an important part of the modern urban infrastructure. This paper describes a concept of a standalone cost-effective medium power charging station dedicated for electric bus charging. It is based on a voltage-source active rectifier operating in both [...]

Abstract

International audience; This paper describes the analysis of recorded data parameters from electrical battery ageing during electric vehicle use. These data allow traditional battery ageing investigation based on resulting capacity fade and resistance raise. The measured variables [...]

Abstract

Public transport is an especially promising sector for full electric vehicles due to the high amount of cycles and predictable workload. This leads to a high amount of different vehicle concepts ranging from large batteries, designed for a full day of operation without charging, to [...]

Abstract

SUMMARY This article investigates charging strategies for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) as part of the energy system. The objective was to increase the combined all-electric mileage (total distance driven using only the traction batteries in each PHEV) when the total [...]
