To charge the batteries of the these electric vehicles we present within this paper a technical solution based on the use of renewable energy resources. The modular solution can be adapted to any type of street furniture designed as bicycle parking, regardless of the number of parking spaces, the modular system that is used being composed of photovoltaic panels placed on the roof and individual inverters for each panel. The configuration presented in this paper, equipped with six monocrystalline photovoltaic panels with a nominal output of 270 Wp and a total installed power of 1.6 kWp, provide the possibility of charging compact personal electric vehicles like bicycles/trotters/mopeds/ hover boards, etc., simultaneously, in the limit of the amount of energy converted by photovoltaic effect. The charging station is equipped with the same number of six state-of-the-art inverters, one for each photovoltaic panel. By performing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm at photovoltaic (PV) module level, an increase in system efficiency by an average of 25% over the system lifetime can be achieved. The undesirable effects caused by the shading of photovoltaic panels, their improper orientation, the degree of dirtiness of the panel surfaces or the aging of the panels, are minimized because, unlike central inverters, the inverters used here are being attached to each PV module, they are working independently from the rest of the solar array and DC power is converted to AC power immediately. The concept of modularity, the state-of-the-art equipments that are used, the performance monitoring via Internet, makes the charging station for electric bicycles a product of a high technology level, highly competitive in the current global context that puts accent on the electric mobility area.","PeriodicalId":186248,"journal":{"name":"2017 Electric Vehicles International Conference (EV)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127632002","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}

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) became a great interest in the research field for their applications as a component in electrical vehicles. These polymeric membranes are produced from a few layers of various materials. The most suitable polymers used for the preparation of the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) are based on various types of polybenzimidazole (PBI). Therefore, a lot of efforts have been made on further improvement of these PBI membranes. One conceivable technique is the insertion of nano-scale particles, for example — SiO2 into the polymer matrix. By using this inorganic compound the performances of the fuel cells are certainly improved.","PeriodicalId":186248,"journal":{"name":"2017 Electric Vehicles International Conference (EV)","volume":"379 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116583023","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}

With the help of the OBD a data connection through the Controller Area Network (CAN) is realized with the Engine Control Unit (ECU). This control unit is instrumental in optimizing the engine performance. There are many OBD adapters on the market today, ranging from the cheap Do-It-Yourself kind to expensive, professional ones that can be used for telemetry data on racing cars. There is also a wide choice of software to interpret the data provided by the OBD, depending on platform and cost. A small review, which by no means is exhaustive, of available hardware and software needed to access this data is presented. Test results performed with compatible software using an ELM327 OBD II interface with WiFi capabilities on a Skoda Rapid model 2015 are given.","PeriodicalId":186248,"journal":{"name":"2017 Electric Vehicles International Conference (EV)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122384176","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}
