Electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to play a large role in the future Smart Grid. They are expected to provide grid services, both for peak reduction and for ancillary services, by absorbing short term variations in the electricity production. In this paper the Economic MPC minimizes the cost of electricity consumption for a single EV. Simulations show savings of 50-60% of the electricity costs compared to uncontrolled charging from load shifting based on driving pattern predictions. The future energy system in Denmark will most likely be based on renewable energy sources e.g. wind and solar power. These green energy sources introduce stochastic fluctuations in the electricity production. Therefore, energy should be consumed as soon as it is produced to avoid the need for energy storage as this is expensive, limited and introduces efficiency losses. The Economic MPC for EVs described in this paper may contribute to facilitating transition to a fossil free energy system.","PeriodicalId":134818,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127267183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, cell state variations are commonly present, which reduces the energy conversion efficiency of the battery system. Furthermore, in a large battery system the risk of catastrophic faults of cells increases because a large numbers of cells are used. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a novel power electronics-enabled, self-X, multicell battery system design. The proposed battery system can self-heal from failures or abnormal operations of single or multiple cells and self-balance from cell state variations. These features are achieved by a cell switching circuit and a high-performance battery management system (BMS). The proposed design is validated by simulation studies in MATLAB Simulink for a battery system containing five modules connected in series, where each module consists of 6×3 cylindrical lithium-ion cells. The proposed design is scalable to large battery systems for EV/PHEV applications.","PeriodicalId":134818,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115522473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Battery is a major component in an electric vehicle. Economic viability of these vehicles depends on the availability of cost-effective batteries. Subsidies provided by the government will be instrumental in the initial success of electric vehicles. However, in the long run for the commercial success of electric vehicles the economics have to be self-sustained. Batteries used for transportation purpose cannot be used once the energy capacity reaches 70%-80%. The remaining capacity of the battery can still be utilized for secondary purpose like powering a building during peak load hours and reducing the carbon foot print. Owner of an electric vehicle would be benefited if a market for the used electric vehicle batteries is created. These batteries are called second life batteries. Commercial building peak load reduction is considered in this study. This work deals with using second life battery for peak load management and to analyze the cost effectiveness of the second life battery to be used for powering a commercial building. Battery is the main component in this study and increasing the life of the second life battery using Battery Life Estimator (BLE) is discussed. An optimal solution for incorporating peak load management, cost saving from the use of second life battery and lifetime of the second life battery is achieved using a rule-based control for the parameters.","PeriodicalId":134818,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114775871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Range prediction solutions are available to address anxiety but most of them have limited functionalities. In this paper we propose a new, “Accurate Range” and “Energy-efficient Route” (ARER) selection mobile software solution which is based on smartphone platform. The proposed solution provides several attractive features. The first and prime feature is estimation of the most accurate driving range considering those real time factors that were never considered in the prior art such as geographical terrain of the driving route (Elevation and Depression), real time alert implemented on the road (i.e. the road flood clogged or blocked due to catastrophe - such information would be received through PLAN (Personal Localized Alerting Network), a new public safety system that FCC and FEMA are working on currently that will enable government officials to send emergency text alerts, such as tornados, floods, terrorisms, to specific affected geographic areas through cell towers in near future), Real Time Wind Speed (tailwind and headwind), real time weight in the EV (onboard Passengers and Cargo), and real time traffic (including not only on road vehicles, but also STOP signs, advisory road signs, and probability of encountering red traffic lights, etc.), comparing with available battery energy. The second key feature that leverages on the first one is proposing the alternate route(s) that may not be essentially shorter but the most energy efficient (e.g. the route with depression instead of elevation and at the same time not flood clogged or blocked, the route with favorable wind direction at that instant and location, the route with lesser traffic congestion, fewer stop signs and fewer red traffic light etc.). The third feature is to evaluate the service relevance and suggest the point of service; offering similar services, that fall on the most energy efficient route (e.g. if the EV Driver searched for Rite-Aid Pharmacy, the software may also suggest the WalGreens or Wall Mart, or Target, or Shoprite, because of service relevance/similar service offering and occurrence on the most energy efficient route from the EV Driver's current location). The fourth feature is that it keeps the history of the roads traversed and uses the log data for future optimization. Lastly the fifth feature is that it produces a visual 360-degree real time range display, and calculates the estimated energy cost of completing a chosen rout. The software to make prototype for the work is under development.","PeriodicalId":134818,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125841532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
