Abstract

International audience; This paper presents a study which follows the present trend in the field of electric (or hybrid) vehicles E(H)V, having in mind that the major drawback of these last ones is the autonomy problem. Thus, by using a hybrid energy source (formed by ultracapacitors [...]

Abstract

This paper deals with a procedure capable to build the scenario tree associated with a parking lot equipped with several bidirectional charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). The scenario tree is conceived to be implemented in multistage stochastic optimization models [...]

Abstract

The future smart grids (SGs) consist of considerable amount of renewable energy sources (RESs), electrical vehicles (EVs), and energy storage systems (ESSs). The uncertainties associated with EVs and uncontrollable nature of RESs have magnified voltage stability challenges and the [...]

Abstract

International audience; This paper deals with a control strategy used for designing energy management systems within average-power electric vehicles. The power supply system is composed of three sources, namely a fuel cell, a battery and an ultracapacitor - specialized within distinct [...]

Abstract

The strong interaction between electric vehicles and the charging infrastructure presents new challenges towards system-level optimization. Moreover choices between the power level, duration, and frequency of charging events can have direct impact both on energy efficiency, as well [...]
