It has been observed that a rising penetration rate of electric vehicles (EVs) fleet could cause undervoltage and congestions in the power grid network. Under such circumstances, optimal scheduling of EVs charging/discharging power proved to be one of the best alternatives. The prime objective of this paper, to investigate the impact of charging and discharging on load variations/peaks. This paper develops a load estimation model and EVs charging model under the various scenario of vehicle travelling patterns to predict their impacts on charging behavior. This paper also demonstrates a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based charging/discharging algorithm that efficiently deals with the prediction of EVs driving patterns and manages the issues of high-power demand during peak time. In vehicle to grid (V2G) technologies, the stored energy supplies power to the grid at a certain time when required. Further, to increase the flexibility of the grid storage system and user trip schedule using a proposed algorithm. The proposed probabilistic approach demonstrates an effective estimation of power demands and controls the peak regulation, without changing the performance of the scheduled vehicle owner's trip.","PeriodicalId":162261,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC-India)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117087105","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}

Numerous metal and coatings systems are being developed with objective of achieving required properties, cost and durability targets. It is of utmost importance to develop suitable methods and techniques for the assessment of key performance indicators of metallic BP Plates. The paper describes detailed techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, Hall measurement, Potentio-dynamic corrosion test, Water contact angle measurement, Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS) which were utilized for evaluation of commercially available SS 316 coated with carbon based materials for suitability as BP plates for indigenous fuel cell stack development. The investigation was undertaken to evaluate key properties to establish suitability under fuel cell environment. Formability assessment was also performed to evaluate integrity of carbon coating during hydroforming which is required to form transport channel for gas flow and water management.

Range anxiety depends on topological factors, driving styles, climatic conditions, traffic conditions and auxiliary power requirements. Though many researchers have extensively worked on various factors of Range Anxiety, an accurate residual range estimation algorithm has not yet been figured out. Machine Learning and Deep Learning based models have also come up to evaluate the residual range of EVs. Auxiliary loads are one of the prime factors for offering driving comfort to passengers. It is found that the lights, horns, power steering and media components contribute significantly to the energy storage loss. This paper presents a simulation-based analysis on the influence of auxiliary loads on the energy consumption and hence the range of an EV. The simulations are done on Advanced Vehicle Simulator (ADVISOR) software and the results are interpreted. The vehicle specifications correspond to a commercially available EV and two different drive cycles, namely the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) drive cycle and the NREL to VAIL drive cycle.

The 20-sector based DTC scheme provides a smoother control over torque and flux compared to the conventional 10 sector-based DTC schemes for five phase induction motors. The switching scheme used in the proposed scheme eliminates the auxiliary plane harmonic voltages and provides higher DC bus utilization compared to two-level five phase voltage source inverter fed DTC schemes. The switching scheme for realization of these virtual voltage vectors does not generate any resultant common mode voltage across the stator windings and hence a single DC source is used to supply both the voltage source inverters.

Electric vehicles (EV) are at the helm of this revolution. There have been many hurdles in development of EVs. Vehicle NVH tends to be one of these areas. The change in fundamental source of noise and vibration in a vehicle combined with efforts to increase range by using lighter materials has produced new challenges for NVH engineers. This paper tries to identify the disparities brought about in NVH performance of vehicle with introduction of electric powertrains. A subjective as well as objective approach using state of art is used and methodology elaborated in this paper. Henceforth providing an original and unique contribution to NVH testing of electric vehicles. The core of this work is to analyze the shift in noise and vibration trend with the introduction of electric powertrains thereby finding the challenges in NVH analysis. A multitude of test conditions are performed at vehicle level for acquiring NVH data which is further thoroughly analyzed to bring about the shift in trends observed in electric vehicles. It is observed that a huge reduction in noise levels is observed at idle conditions whereas the difference diminishes as vehicle accelerates to higher speeds. Also mount vibration ranges have significantly reduced with introduction of electric powertrains. Yet there are peculiar phenomena observed in EVs related to switching frequencies of inverter which are visible at higher frequencies.
