This is achieved by formulating two multiobjective optimization problems using the Pareto-concepts and solving it by using a Genetic Algorithm. Whereas results have already been shown for the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) [1], this paper focuses on future driving scenarios that represent the markets USA, China and Germany.

However, due to its fluctuating characteristics its application within power grids leads to new challenges for system operators. That includes the intermediate storage of the energy which necessitates the installation of new systems or approaches. One of them is the usage of electric vehicle batteries which can be aggregated to virtual power plants. In this paper we propose an energy management algorithm which schedules the optimal charging and discharging times of an electric vehicle battery according to the expected fraction of regenerative energy within the power grid. At the same time the constraints of other stakeholders (driver, charging station infrastructure provider) are taken into account, enabling the algorithm to support the user in his charging decisions upon his daily mobility requirements. In the course of the paper we provide a detailed description of the algorithm, simulation results based on this approach and discuss its application in a field test we have performed, recently.","PeriodicalId":134818,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Electric Vehicle Conference","volume":"108 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":"129125917","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}

This has prompted increasing interest in evaluating the potential impacts of PEVs on power distribution system planning and operations, as well as in proposing mitigation approaches that allow their seamless integration. In addition, there is a noticeable growth in the number of solar photovoltaic distributed generation (PV-DG) being interconnected to distribution feeders in North America and other regions. The rising penetration of PV-DG may also lead to important impacts on power distribution systems, particularly due to the intermittent nature of its output caused by cloud cover. As an emerging technology, Distributed Energy Storage (DES) aims to improve the reliability, efficiency, and controllability of the power distribution system and to facilitate the integration of distributed generations. This paper discusses the integration of all these technologies from a technical perspective and investigates how DES may be used as a means for mitigating the impacts of PEV charging and PV-DG interconnection.

We show how this can be implemented as a specialized form of cooperative adaptive cruise control, one of the innovative Intelligent Transportation System applications.

In this study, the multi-input structure with bridgeless high frequency boost converter is proposed in order to reduce the size of the passive components with high efficiency compared to other topologies. The proposed topology is compared with bridge boost converter and Bridgeless power factor correction converter topologies in order to examine its performances. The converter topologies and their controller are designed and investigated. Furthermore, the proposed topology is experimentally validated with results obtained from 60-kW prototype that has been built and tested in our laboratory based on TMS320F28335 DSP.

EVs load time series are generated for each scenario by a stochastic model which is based on real commuting patterns of the Dutch population. The results indicate that EVs load is mainly supplied by conventional generation: gas, coal and nuclear.

Several vehicles of this type would be stationed along a congested roadway allowing an automated and quick response to clear incident situations such as roadway debris, abandoned or disabled vehicles, and minor accidents. It is anticipated that by accomplishing both EV charging and incident response, the system can help to reduce important problems of incident delay, injury and deaths to emergency response personnel, and petroleum related emissions. A case study using data from Washington's State Route 520 indicates that the system can potentially save up to 50% of the induced delay due to incidents.
