Recharge stations: A review
2016
Charging equipment for all-Electric Vehicles (EVs) is classified by the rate at which the batteries are charged. Charging times vary based on how depleted the battery is, how much energy it holds, the type of battery, and the type of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). In this paper, a review of the innovative charging stations is reported.
E-bike battery charging: Methods and circuits
2013
Today, academic and industrial research is focused on innovative battery charging methods to ensure complete mobility of both handheld devices and electric vehicles. Wireless power transfer is actually the leading strategy even if efficiency related issues are to be solved for a successful marketing. In this paper, a wireless battery charging station is proposed for electric assisted pedal bikes. If compared with existing wireless solutions, the proposed system architecture improves power conversion efficiency of the charging equipment. The simulation model of the whole charging station is described in detail. The transmitter, receiver and inductive coupling circuits are described and desig…
Priority Based Coordinated Electric Vehicle Charging System for Heterogeneous Traffic
2020
Despite the environmental and health merits associated with Electric vehicles (EVs), a massive deployment of EVs tends to create new technical and economic challenges for power systems. This is being addressed with different coordinated charging schemes where the charging coordination is distributed across multiple EVs and/or aggregators based on different objectives. This work analyzes an algorithm which maximize the operational profit of a charging station with a high charging station utilization while adhering all the constraints enforced by the utility grid. And it is analyzed the performance of the coordinated charging scheme which facilitates heterogeneous EV users whose arrival is un…
Forecasting the diffusion of hydrogen EV refuelling infrastructures in Italy
2019
In Italy the electric vehicle revolution is arrived but it still has difficulties to take off. At the moment hybrid technology would seem the most quoted, due especially to range anxiety. The aim of this work is to understand if the fuel cell technology can find place in Italy. The possibility to use fuel cell to storage electric energy is quite interesting: the charging times will be reduced, and heavy passenger transportation should be easily faced. Basing on the existing history and analysis of the information accessible, this paper addresses the existing e-mobility scenario in Italy and predicts the cities in which a hydrogen refuelling infrastructure should be more remunerative, in ord…
The strategies for the diffusion of EVs: Focus on Norway and Italy
2017
The goal of this work is to predict e-mobility trends which are essential for understanding the market and the infrastructure development over the next years. Nowadays among the many and different standards and rules there are two charging categories for electric vehicles: High power DC and AC charging modes. It will be interesting to see which technology will prevail in the next few years and if the charging mode option on a given EV affects its sales performance. This study presents the current e-mobility scenario in Norway and Italy, in particular analyzing: EV technical and commercial features, electric vehicle market related national incentive policies, technical and diffusion connecto…
An optimization location scheme for electric charging stations
2013
International audience; Due to environmental issues, electric mobility is one of the mobility alternatives that are receiving a huge attention nowadays. In fact, in the last few years electric vehicles have entered the world's car market. This revolutionary technology requires a fast deployment of electric charging stations since the key issue in this system is recharging the batteries. In this work, we propose an optimized algorithm to locate electric-vehicles charging stations. Different factors and limitations are considered and a real case study is given as an application. We first determine the appropriate strict constraints and cost of charging stations' location; and then we propose …
Hydrogen Supplied Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles
2020
The aim of this work is the experimental characterization of a Wireless Charging System based on IPT (Inductive Power Transfer) supplied by a PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) in order to verify the possibility of its installation in not electrified areas. A hydrogen-based supply system is designed and assembled with the purpose of having an EV (electrical vehicle) charging station not connected to the main power grid. An efficiency analysis of the wireless transmission system is carried out taking into account external parameters such as distance and misalignment between the transmitter coil and the receiver coil, verifying the integration potentialities of both IPT and fuel cell …
An Efficient and Secure Energy Trading Approach with Machine Learning Technique and Consortium Blockchain
2022
In this paper, a secure energy trading mechanism based on blockchain technology is proposed. The proposed model deals with energy trading problems such as insecure energy trading and inefficient charging mechanisms for electric vehicles (EVs) in a vehicular energy network (VEN). EVs face two major problems: finding an optimal charging station and calculating the exact amount of energy required to reach the selected charging station. Moreover, in traditional trading approaches, centralized parties are involved in energy trading, which leads to various issues such as increased computational cost, increased computational delay, data tempering and a single point of failure. Furthermore, EVs fac…
Electric-Motion in Romania - Overview - Study on Machining Parameters of EV Charging Station Mechanical Components
2016
This paper presents some relevant aspects of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Romania. It evidences the charging station and fast charging stations designed and installed by the first Romanian company dedicated 100% to e-mobility, E-Motion Electric. Also, a study on machining (milling) parameters of some mechanical components of electric vehicle (EV) charging station is done and, finally, the regression model for these parameters is determined. This model would be further used for machining process optimization.
Economie assessments on the use of wired and wireless recharging systems in Italian and European market
2017
The conductive charging method for the electric vehicles is the most widespread, since it is the simplest and has higher returns. In the last years, alternative charging technologies have been investigated. Between these wireless charging systems have been large diffusion and have been commercialized by some manufacturer. Wireless charging systems for electric vehicles have some advantages respect the wired ones, not obliging the user to connect physically the vehicle to the electric charging station. Assuming the efficiency declared by the manufacturer of wireless systems the authors, in this paper, estimate the maximum cost that wireless recharging systems can have to be, however, more fa…
