The complete drivetrain for a single person ultra light electric vehicle (EV) is optimized towards a minimal total weight and a maximal average efficiency for different driving cycles. The EV is named ELBEV, which is an acronym for Ecologic Low Budge...
This article discusses the development of a control system for an electric propellant pump for a light-lift launch vehicle. The relevance of this work stems from the need to create compact and energy-efficient propellant supply systems capable of ens...
Automated guided vehicles (AGV) or mobile robots (MR) are being used more and more in modern factories, logistics, etc. To extend the work-time of the robot, kinetic energy recovery systems are implemented to store the braking or lifting energy. In m...
The advances in electric mobility, motivated by current sustainability issues, have led public and private organizations to invest in the electrification of their corporate fleets. To succeed in this transition, companies must mitigate the impacts of...
Electric mobility is attracting significant attention in the current era due to its environmental benefits, sustainable transportation options, and the absence of carbon emissions. However, challenges such as the high price of batteries, inefficient...
One aspect of the competitiveness of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is the ability to recharge batteries quickly. Ideally, this process would take no longer than it takes to refuel vehicles powered by conventional fuels. The term fast charging...
Ethanol as a renewable fuel has been applied in fuel vehicles (FVs), and it is promising in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). This work aims to investigate the emission characteristics of ethanol applied in both FVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle...
A battery management system (BMS) plays an important role in electric vehicles (EVs) in order to achieve a reasonable-lasting lifetime. An equalizing method is essential in order to obtain the best performance. A monitoring system is required to chec...
Recently, while electric vehicles (EV) have substituted the fossil fuel vehicles, the design of the electrical motors with more efficient and less mechanical converters has become mandatory due to the weighting gears, mechanical differentials, and ot...
The use of plastics in automobiles is increasing dramatically due to their advantages of low weight and cost-effectiveness. Various products can be manufactured by recycling end-of-life vehicle (ELV) plastic waste, enhancing sustainability within thi...
To address the challenge of balancing junction temperature prediction accuracy and computational efficiency for high-power multi-chip IGBT modules in automotive applications during complex electro-thermal conversion processes, this study proposes an...
In this paper, we present LightBAL, an ultra-lightweight deep learning framework for real-time active cell balancing and onboard balancing control in electric vehicle (EV) battery management systems (BMSs). Although active cell balancing can improve...
Three-phase three-level unidirectional rectifiers are among the most adopted topologies for general active rectification, achieving an excellent compromise between cost, complexity and overall performance. The unidirectional nature of these rectifier...
