This strategy is based on a virtual articulated concept and is validated using both characteristic equation analysis and time domain analysis methods. To create a system, any two adjacent front and rear vehicles in the intelligent vehicle platooning are connected using a virtual articulated model constructed through the virtual structure method. A ten-degrees-of-freedom model of the intelligent vehicle platooning system is established, taking into account the nonlinearities of the tire and steering systems, utilizing the principles of the second Lagrange equation theory. The system damping ratio is determined through characteristic equation analysis, and the system’s dynamic critical speed is assessed by examining the relationship between the damping ratio and the motion stability of the intelligent vehicle platooning, serving as an indicator of system stability. By applying sensitivity analysis, control variable analysis, and time domain analysis methods, the influence of vehicle structural characteristics and system parameters on the system’s dynamic critical speed and motion stability under lateral disturbances within the intelligent vehicle platooning is thoroughly investigated, thereby validating the soundness of the proposed control strategy.","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":" 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140689001","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}

Nonetheless, uncertainties persist in both the power output of new energy sources and load. To effectively harness the economic and operational potential of an Integrated Energy System (IES), this paper introduces an enhanced uncertainty set. This set incorporates N-1 contingency considerations and the nuances of source–load distribution. This framework is applied to a robust optimization model for an Electric Vehicle Integrated Energy System (EV-IES), which includes Electric Vehicle Battery Swapping Station (EVBSS). Firstly, this paper establishes an IES model of the EVBSS, and then proceeds to classifies and schedules the large-scale battery groups within these stations. Secondly, this paper proposes an enhanced uncertainty set to account for the operational status of multiple units in the system. It also considers the output characteristics of both new energy sources and loads. Additionally, it takes into consideration the N-1 contingency state and multi-interval distribution characteristics. Subsequently, a multi-time-scale optimal scheduling model is established with the objective of minimizing the total cost of the IES. The day-ahead robust optimization fully considers the multivariate uncertainty of the IES. The solution employs the Nested Column and Constraint Generation (C&CG) algorithm, based on the distribution characteristics of multiple discrete variables in the model. The intraday optimal scheduling reallocates the power of each unit based on the robust optimization results from the day-ahead scheduling. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively reduces the conservatism of the uncertainty set, ensuring economic and stable operation of the EV-IES while meeting the demands of electric vehicle users.","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":" 48","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140687961","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}

Moreover, optimal equilibrium weights are assigned to path tracking control and anti-rollover control to ensure that the path tracking accuracy of the mining vehicle can be effectively improved in a safe and stable driving state. Regarding the path tracking problem, a lateral preview error model is established, and a path tracking controller is designed using LQR (linear quadratic regulator) control theory. In the design of the anti-rollover controller, the effects of understeer and trip-type rollover on the stability of the vehicle are taken into account, and the ideal transverse swing angular velocity and trip-type rollover evaluation index are introduced for controller design, which reduce the effects of the curves and roadway excitation on the mining truck and improve the rollover motion. Based on a joint simulation using Trucksim and Simulink and the construction of a hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform for verification, the single control strategy and coordinated control strategy are compared and analyzed. The final simulation results show that the tracking error, yaw velocity, and center of mass side deviation angle are optimized by 45%, 32.5%, and 20%, respectively. Therefore, the Extension theory-based coordinated controller satisfies the complex road conditions in the mining area and improves the tracking accuracy to the maximum extent while ensuring the safety and smoothness of vehicle driving and exhibiting good adaptability and robustness.","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":"129 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140698606","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}

Firstly, a new population initialization method is proposed. This method adopts a higher-quality random point generation strategy to generate random points centrally near the start and end of connecting lines. It combines the improved ACO algorithm to connect these random points quickly, thus greatly improving the quality of the initial population. Secondly, path smoothness constraints are proposed in the adaptive function. These constraints reduce the large-angle turns and non-essential turns, improving the smoothness of the generated path. The algorithm integrates the roulette and tournament methods in the selection stage to enhance the searching ability and prevent premature convergence. Additionally, the crossover stage introduces the edit distance and a two-layer crossover operation based on it to avoid ineffective crossover and improve convergence speed. In the mutation stage, we propose a new mutation method and introduce a three-stage mutation operation based on the idea of simulated annealing. This makes the mutation operation more effective and efficient. The three-stage mutation operation ensures that the mutated paths also have high weights, increases the diversity of the population, and avoids local optimality. Additionally, we added a deletion operation to eliminate redundant nodes in the paths and shorten them. The simulation software and experimental platform of ROS (Robot Operating System) demonstrate that the improved algorithm has better path search quality and faster convergence speed. This effectively prevents the algorithm from maturing prematurely and proves its effectiveness in solving the path planning problem of AGV (automated guided vehicle).","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":"7 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140697673","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}

The review focuses on the following three main categories of diagnostic approaches: motor model-based, signal processing-based, and artificial intelligence (AI)-based fault detection and diagnosis methods. Motor model-based methods utilize motor state estimation and motor parameter estimation as the primary strategies for ITSF diagnosis. Signal processing-based techniques extract fault signatures from motor measured data across time, frequency, or time-frequency domains. In contrast, AI-based methods automatically extract higher-order fault signatures from large volumes of preprocessed data, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of fault diagnosis. The strengths and limitations of each approach are thoroughly examined, providing valuable insights into the advancements in ITSF detection and diagnosis techniques for PMSMs in EV applications. The emphasis is placed on the application of signal processing methods and deep learning techniques in the diagnosis of ITSF in PMSMs in EV applications.","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":"3 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140700841","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}

First, the development of any system with multiphase motors requires an elaborate model to define the control mode and controllers. The modeling of a control system for six-phase drive is based on its conventional d-q mathematical model and indirect field-oriented control. In this study, a Simulink six-phase drive model is designed with indirect field-oriented control and simulated with two types of fuzzy controller, PID and PID fuzzy. The simulation results are presented and analyzed; these results reflect the step response and performance at the provided speed reference law while keeping the load application at a constant speed. A fuzzy controller with 49 rules is considered and applied. With field-oriented control and a well-tuned PID controller, the six-phase electric drive has good step response specifications: a short settling time when starting without a load, no overshoot in the step response, small size, and a slight decrease in speed when loaded. The system employing a PID fuzzy controller shows slightly better results in response to the application of torque: the decrease in speed is eliminated more quickly. The simulation results were tabulated with the PID and with the results of previous research that rearranged some models to only operate in the classical controller mode. The simulation results indicate the robustness to disturbance of both the systems with six-phase drive and provide high-quality transient specifications at the provided reference speed.","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140710355","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}

In the conventional model, a third-harmonic current is generated by connecting a 4-pole armature and 12-pole excitation windings serially with a three-phase diode rectifier to develop a pulsating field in the airgap of a machine. However, in the proposed model, the ABC winding is supplied by a three-phase current source inverter, whereas the auxiliary winding (X) carries no current due to an open circuit. The fundamental MMF component developed in the machine airgap creates a four-pole stator field, while the third-harmonic MMF induces the harmonic current in the specialized rotor harmonic winding. The rotor on the other side contains the harmonic and the field windings connected through a full-bridge rectifier. The electromagnetic interaction of the stator and rotor fields generates torque. Due to the open-circuited winding pattern, the proposed machine results in a low torque ripple. A 2D model is designed using JMAG-Designer, and 2D field element analysis (FEA) is carried out to determine the output torque and machine’s efficiency. A comparative performance analysis of both the conventional and proposed topologies is discussed graphically. The quantitative analysis of the proposed topology shows better performance as compared to the recently developed third-harmonic-based brushless WRVM topology in terms of output torque and torque ripples.","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":"6 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140716136","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}

When BEBs charge, the additional demands on the grid may exceed hardware limitations, so power providers divide a consumer’s energy needs into separate meters even though doing so is expensive for both power providers and consumers. Prior work has developed a number of strategies for computing charge schedules for bus fleets; however, prior work has not worked to reduce costs by aggregating meters. Additionally, because many works use mixed integer linear programs, their compute needs make planning for commercial-sized bus fleets intractable. This work presents a multi-program approach to computing charge plans for electric bus fleets. The proposed method solves a series of subproblems where the solution to the charge problem becomes more refined with each problem, moving closer to the optimal schedule. The results demonstrate how runtimes are reduced by using intermediate subproblems to refine the bus charge solution so that the proposed method can be applied to large bus fleets of 100+ buses. Not only will we demonstrate that runtimes scale linearly with the number of buses but we will also show how the proposed method scales to large bus fleets of over 100 buses while managing the monthly cost of energy.","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140717808","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}

Every year, these machines increase their presence in transportation applications. In this sense, early fault identification in these systems, specifically in the electronic speed controllers, is relevant for correct device operation. In this context, the techniques reported in the literature for fault identification based on the Hilbert–Huang transform have shown efficiency in electrical systems. This manuscript proposes a novel technique for early fault identification in electronic speed controllers based on the Hilbert–Huang transform algorithm. Initially, currents from the device are captured with non-invasive sensors in a time window during motor operation. Subsequently, the signals are processed to obtain pertinent information about amplitudes and frequencies using the Hilbert–Huang transform, focusing on fundamental components. Then, estimated parameters are evaluated by computing the error between signals. The existing electrical norms of a balanced system are used to identify a healthy or damaged driver. Through amplitude and frequency error analysis between three-phase signals, early faults caused by system imbalances such as current increasing, torque reduction, and speed reduction are detected. The proposed technique is implemented through data acquisition devices at different voltage conditions and then physical signals are evaluated offline through several simulations in the Matlab environment. The method’s robustness against signal variations is highlighted, as each intrinsic mode function serves as a component representation of the signal and instantaneous frequency computation provides resilience against these variations. Two study cases are conducted in different conditions to validate this technique. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in identifying early faults in brushless DC motor drivers. This study provides data from each power line within the electronic speed controller to detect early faults and extend different approaches, contributing to addressing early failures in speed controllers while expanding beyond the conventional focus on motor failure analysis.","PeriodicalId":507038,"journal":{"name":"World Electric Vehicle Journal","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140718014","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}
