▼ D.Ing. (Electrical & Electronic Engineering Science)
In the light of a history of more than a century, and reviving interest over the last three decades, battery powered electric vehicles are seen as one of the contributing technologies to alleviate transport problems in the future. This thesis is concerned with the use of energy in road transport. In particular, some selected aspects of the application of battery powered road vehicles are addressed. The thesis gives a brief background history and reviews the forces and factors which presently play a role in the developments and future application of battery electric vehicles. The main contribution, however, lies in the field of technical clarification of some aspects of electric vehicle theoretical analysis, which have not been addressed before. The first of these technical subjects is the analysis of energy consumption of vehicles when operating under non-steady driving conditions. The analysis results in simple but relevant expressions for the energy consumption of any moving vehicle during start-stop driving, as well as driving over a hilly route. The potential benefit of kinetic energy recovery can be quantitatively determined. The theory is then applied to battery electric vehicles and the results are compared to actual recorded energy consumption figures. The second technical investigation concerns the optimisation of electric vehicle drive systems with respect to mass. It is shown that optimized drive systems should be designed to suit both the energy density characteristics of the batteries used, as well as the particular characteristics of the drive cycle to which the vehicles will be applied.

▼ M.Sc. (Electrical & Electronic Engineering)
The behaviour of alternating current machines being fed from an electronic commutator is investigated. The performance of compound power switches for use in electric vehicle drives are examined. A detailed study on switching losses and base current characteristics based upon experimental measurements was carried out. With further reference to power switches the merit, development and functioning of an electronic commutator is discussed. Because of the close association between this study and electric vehicle drives, a comparative study of the performance of different rotor types within the same machine was executed. Attention is paid to torque and efficiency characteristics in particular. The influence of voltage and current harmonics was established by comparative testing of the machine with sinusoidal and electronic commutator excitation. The study shows that the highest specific power was attained with the alternating current machine with a wound rotor (synchronous machine) while there seems to be merit in the use of permanent magnet rotors for electric drives as well. On the average the use of electronic commutator excitation resulted in an efficiency decrease of approximately 15% for the a.c. machine with different rotor types. Efficiency and torque for an induction machine with solid rotor were disappointing so that there seems to be little application for solid steel rotors. A simple model for the synchronous machine with wound rotor was developed to explain the dependence of torque and efficiency upon speed of rotation and commutation angle. To conclude, guidelines are given for future studies on electric vehicle drives and machine types as primary drive.

▼ This dissertation describes the development of an energy model of a battery
electric vehicle (BEV) to assist designers in evaluating the impact of overall energy efficiency on vehicle performance. Energy efficiency is a crucial metric for BEVs as it defines the driving range of the vehicle and optimises the limited amount of energy available from the on-board battery pack, typically the most expensive component of the vehicle. Energy modelling also provides other useful information to the designer, such as the range of the vehicle according to legislative drive cycles and the maximum torque required from the motor. An accurate, fast and efficient model is therefore required to simulate BEVs in the early stages of design and for prototype validation.
An extensive investigation into BEV modelling and the mechanisms of energy losses within BEVs was conducted. Existing literature was studied to characterise the effect of operating conditions on the efficiency of each mechanism, as well as investigating existing modelling techniques used to simulate each energy loss. A complete vehicle model was built by considering multiple domain modelling methods and the flow of energy between components in both mechanical and electrical domains.
Simscape™, a MathWorks MATLAB™ tool, was used to build a physics based, forward facing model comprising a combination of custom coded blocks representing the flow of energy from the battery pack to the wheels. The acceleration and speed response of the vehicle was determined over a selected drive cycle, based on vehicle parameters. The model is applicable to normal driving conditions where the power of the motor does not exceed its continuous rating. The model relies on datasheet or non-proprietary parameters. These parameters can be changed depending on the architecture of the BEV and the exact components used, providing model flexibility.
The primary model input is a drive cycle and the primary model output is range as well as the dynamic response of other metrics such as battery voltage and motor torque. The energy loss mechanisms are then assessed qualitatively and quantitatively to allow vehicle designers to determine effective strategies to increase the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle.
The Mamba BEV, a small, high-power, commercially viable
electric vehicle with a 21 kWh lithium-ion battery was simulated using the developed model. As the author was involved in the design and development of the vehicle, required vehicle parameters were easily obtained from manufacturers. The range of the vehicle was determined using the World-Harmonised Light Duty
Vehicles Test Procedure and provided an estimated range of 285.3 km for the standard cycle and 420.8 km for the city cycle.

▼ The objective of this project is to determine the advantages of the modern alternative fueled
vehicles over traditional
vehicles on a well to wheel basis. Alternative fueled
vehicles are often lauded for their advantages during vehicle operation. This project evaluates
vehicles according to their relative values on a broader scale.
This project compares traditional, alternative fuel, and hybrid
vehicles for use in the U.S. from the complete fuel cycle standpoint using points of comparison that include energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and the emission of five principal pollutants. GREET software used in this study was developed at Argonne National Laboratory specifically for modeling these types of points. Financial considerations and social benefits outside the purview of GREET are also incorporated. The comparisons account for the attributes of each vehicle-fuel combination considering the feedstock, fuel production, and vehicle operation stages in order to provide a complete view of the fuel cycle. By comparing
vehicles in this way, this project highlights the advantages of each combination and provides insight into the overall effect of operating these vehicle technologies.

▼ In this study, the state of the transition towards
electric vehicles in the Netherlands was assessed. It was shown that however
electric vehicles are more expensive to buy, the total cost of ownership of an
electric vehicle is competitive for 20% of the consumers. This number is expected to increase in the future, since battery prices will decrease, and the cost of gasoline and diesel will increase. This results in a competitive TCO for the average consumer in between 2014 and 2018. Secondly, it was found the range of an average EV is 75% less compared to a conventional vehicle. The range however is expected to increase with 80% in 2020, due improved battery technology and decreased battery prices. It is hard to determine the minimal range consumers require, due to a difference in perception between what consumers think they need, and what they actually require. Therefore it is hard to predict at what point consumer will experience the range of an
electric vehicle to be sufficient, however the outlook of an increased action radius will certainly contribute to that feeling.
The charging infrastructure in the Netherlands seems currently sufficient, with one charger for every two
electric vehicles. However, it was found that further increase of this charging network is biggest hurdle to take. The profitability of slow chargers is problematic due to a high level of rules and regulations, a lack of leadership, different point of interest and no consensus among stakeholders. Continuing this current path will withhold further development of the slow charge network, and can have disastrous consequences to the transition as a whole.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
In recent years active control over selected electric loads has become increasingly important to reduce the peak demand and allow integration of intermittent renewable generation into the power grid. Two groups of loads are especially interesting in this regard due to their expected numbers and large freedom in scheduling: electric vehicles and so called thermostatically controlled loads, such as refrigerators, hot water heaters, or air conditioners. These electric loads allow their power consumption to be adapted depending on the needs of the distribution grid with a minimal impact on the customers. We consider two types of load power control abilities: binary and continuously controllable power. In this project we propose a load management scheme to deal with such electric loads. The load management scheme allows the usage of two algorithms: one for binary and one for continuously controllable loads. The proposed load management scheme relies on broadcast signals that are sent by a central management unit to all the agents connected. This means that the communication load is low and that simultaneous management over different load types is possible, due to the identical set up. Further, as there is no data transmitted from the controllable loads to the central management unit, there are no data protection or privacy issues present. For loads participating with binary controllable power consumption, we propose a binary automaton algorithm that uses stochastic decisions made by the agents to govern the power consumption. This algorithm’s behaviour is analysed and shows promising behaviour in simulations. The algorithm we propose for handling continuously controllable loads is the additive increase multiplicative decrease (AIMD) algorithm. This algorithm is commonly used for congestion control in communications networks and has shown to be very flexible and reliable. Its behaviour has been investigated in detail. While there are some adaptations needed to apply this algorithm in a load management case, we can apply many of the existing results found for the AIMD algorithm as it is applied in congestion control. We extend the analysis where necessary for our case.

The Market for Electric Vehicles in New Zealand: Using stated choice methods to evaluate the implications for electricity demand and carbon emissions to 2030.

▼ Anthropogenic global climate change caused by the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the combustion of fossil fuels is one of the greatest environmental threats faced by society.
Electric vehicles (EVs), which use lithium-ion battery technology, have been proposed as a means of reducing GHG emissions produced by light passenger
vehicles (LPVs). The ability of this vehicle technology to assist in reducing GHG emissions will depend on the market uptake and the effect that a growing EV fleet has on the GHG emissions produced by the electricity sector.
This thesis is the first use of stated choice methods in New Zealand to develop a vehicle demand model that takes detailed account of car buyers’ preferences for EV purchase price, driving range, performance, fuel and battery costs, and charging network availability.
A nationwide stated choice survey of New Zealand car buyers was undertaken in 2010 (n=281). The data from the survey was used to estimate a mixed multinomial logit discrete choice model, which was linked to a vehicle stock model of the New Zealand LPV fleet developed for this research. These two models were then used to simulate the New Zealand vehicle stock and energy demand, and the LPV fleet’s GHG emissions over a twenty year period.
The Electricity Commission’s mixed integer programming ‘generation expansion model’ (GEM) was used to take account of the additional GHG emissions produced by the electricity sector in response to meeting the electricity demand estimates from the vehicle stock model.
The results of this study indicate that, assuming the current state of EV technology and only modest reductions in EV prices over the modelling period, there would be sufficient demand for EVs to reduce, by 2030, the annual GHG emissions produced by the LPV fleet to approximately 80% of levels emitted in 2010. Changes in technology or vehicle design that reduce the cost of batteries and the purchase price of EVs would have the greatest impact in increasing the demand for these
vehicles, and would further reduce the GHG emissions produced by the LPV fleet.
The electricity sector modelling indicates that less than 730 MW of additional generation capacity will be required to be built if network operators can prevent EVs from charging during periods of peak demand, but without this capability, up to 4,400 MW of additional generation capacity could be required. The modelling also indicates that a policy environment where the use of coal-fuelled electricity generation is permitted and the price of carbon limited to 25 per tonne, the increased electricity sector GHG emissions that would result offset 88% of the cumulative GHG emission reductions achieved by the introduction of EVs into the LPV fleet. A policy raising the price of carbon to 100 per tonne would reduce the offsetting effect to 30%.
EVs are an emerging technology with considerable potential for further development. The results of this study indicate that even at current prices and levels of technological performance, EVs have the capacity to…

▼ Torque vectoring in electric ground vehicles (EGV) with individually actuated in-wheel motors (IAIWM) presents the opportunity to implement a wide range of control strategies for controlling vehicle yaw rate to improve vehicle stability and performance. The use of IAIWMs allows for alternative vehicle layout configurations which previously would have been unavailable to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. The use of higher level control architectures to distribute torque amongst the two front wheel-drive, rear wheel-drive or four wheel-drive in-wheel motors of an electric ground vehicle has presented the opportunity to design characteristics of electric ground vehicles through active control of power trains. Previously in internal combustion engine vehicles, these characteristics have been indirectly tuned via common chassis parameters. The use of modern components such as in-wheel motors in electric ground vehicles also provides additional benefits such as precise torque generation, fast motor response and the capability to produce forward and reverse torque as well as regenerative braking to improve energy efficiency, and enabling the estimation or measurement of useful feedback information. This feedback information can be applied to direct yaw-moment control (DYC) strategies which can be used to improve vehicle performance. The application of these new vehicle configurations can allow for differential torque output to the left and right hand side of vehicles, generating a yaw moment, and hence directly affecting the yaw rate of the vehicle in a practice known as direct yaw-moment control. In addition to the potential electric ground vehicles possess for superior vehicle stability and performance, they are also a viable solution for the environmental concerns pertaining to transport needs and meeting lower emissions targets. In this thesis the process of converting an internal combustion engine vehicle to a fully electric vehicle with IAIWM will be presented. The first aim of this thesis is to conduct a literature review in which control strategies available for allocating torque to individually actuated in-wheel motors on an electric ground vehicle are investigated, with the objectives of improving vehicle dynamics performance through control of yaw rate response. Secondly, this thesis will present the development of a simulation framework which models vehicle behaviour and addresses the major performance indicators relevant to evaluating vehicle dynamics performance with regards to torque vectoring(TV)/DYC strategies. Next, this thesis aims to show the effects of a traction control strategy, developed for active differentials, when adapted and extended for use as a direct yaw-moment control strategy on an electric ground vehicle with individually actuated in-wheel motors. This torque vectoring control strategy’s effect on a vehicle’s dynamic performance will be validated and analysed through use of simulations, using the platform developed as part of the work involved in this thesis.

▼ A review of the state of knowledge in the field of control and energy management in HEVs is carried out. The key innovation of the project is the development of a model of a PHEV using the real road data with an intelligent look-ahead online controller. Another novelty of this work is the method of route planning. It combines the information of vehicle sensors such as accelerometer and speedometer with the data of a GPS to create a road grade map for use within the look-ahead energy management strategy in the vehicle. For the PHEV, an adaptive cruise controller is modelled and an optimisation method is applied to obtain the best speed profile during a trajectory. Finally, the nonlinear model of the vehicle is applied with the sliding mode controller. The effect of using this controller is compared with the universal cruise controller. The stability of the system is studied and proved.

▼ As the awareness of energy security and global warming is increasing, alternative technologies are being developed such as electric vehicles. In addition, the integration of a more sustainable energy system with renewable resources put a lot of pressure on the electricity system in terms of regulation power. This thesis has investigated and developed proposals of business models with electric vehicles, which by their construction can raise value for both customers and electricity companies. The development of the business models have been done using a model, which was based on the complexity of the frequency control market, the charging of vehicles and the behavior of the drivers. The proposed models address two types of customer segments; business and private customers. In addition, applying a perspective that includes active and non-active customers has segmented these further. Based on the assumptions in the thesis, the most promising area of interest is the non-active business customer, in this case, a car pool. This proposal was based on the simulation results together with an analysis of advantages and disadvantages with active and non-active customers. This proposal assumed that customers preferred to be non-active in order to maintain flexibility and freedom, which could be studied further by customer surveys.

▼ As the energy transition is expected to increase the number of imbalances in the following years, more flexibility is needed to mitigate these imbalances. Electric Vehicles (EV) can provide this flexibility by adjusting their charging speed. An aggregator can provide this flexibility of many EVs to the balancing markets. However, since EVs are moving entities of which the exact mobility behaviour is unknown at the time in which the aggregator has to hand in their bids, the aggregator is subject to uncertainty. In this research it has been determined to what extent EV movements influence the potential of EV-flexibility for providing flexibility in the form of FCR (Frequency Containment Reserve). As can be concluded, the aggregator will have to withhold and uncertainty buffer up to 25 % from their bids to the market to prevent being fined for not being able to provide the full contracted amount of FCR when EV behaviour deviates from the forecasts. This strongly reduces the amount of FCR that can be provided. Secondly it can be concluded that the fines do not sufficiently incentivise the aggregator to withhold enough flexibility from their FCR bids to result in the desired reliability. Lastly, it can be concluded that reducing the length of the FCR bids from 24 hours to 2 hours will increase the amount of FCR that can be provided by EV aggregators with around 20 %. Further research to this topic is recommended that includes the geographical component of electric vehicles since this will enable to determine the effect of the grid limitations on the potential of providing FCR by making use of EVs. Also it is recommended to add weather forecast and other factors that influence mobility behaviour to the forecast in the model but also take the actual demanded amount of FCR into account since this will enable to more exactly determine the uncertainty buffer that is needed.

▼ In recent years, several trends are indicating a move towards a very different bulk power system. Increased integration of renewables, energy storage, synchrophasors, microgrids, Internet of Things devices, and
electric vehicles are increasing the complexity of the system. While these changes have the potential to lead to significant reductions in environmental impact and peak demand growth, they also require significantly stronger, granular, and faster-moving controls to ensure reliability and resiliency. Previous research shows that
electric vehicles have the potential to significantly reduce global (e.g., CO2), and regional (e.g., particulate) emissions associated with transportation. As fast-responding flexible loads, it was hypothesized that
electric vehicles could participate in reliability-centric markets. To study the integration of these
vehicles into the bulk power system, this project involved building an experimental charging system for
electric vehicles with bulk modeling of the
electric grid. This research test bed was developed in Taylor, Texas, to analyze real-world behavior of EVs in response to control signals. The diverse group of participating
vehicles provided rapid response between 1/6 and 1/2 second, suggesting a strong capacity for providing grid reliability services. Successful real-world tests of primary frequency response and dispatched load control highlight the scalability of this approach. Vehicle charging patterns (as measured by load ramp and current waveform at peak) were observed to be clustered by vehicle make, indicating predictive value of high-resolution waveform measurement at the beginning of a charging session. Simulation of a network with intermittent renewables shows that inclusion of these rapidly responding EVs can strengthen system stability in normal, black start, and islanded situations. It shows that controlled EV charging can provide reliable means for improved renewables integration. The aggregation of
electric vehicle charging can certainly provide fast-responding services that provide frequency support, congestion management, synthetic inertia, and many other useful services of significant value to the reliability of the bulk power system

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2016.
This dissertation focuses on the potential role of consumers in mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the two largest emitting sectors in the U.S.—electricity and transportation. In the electric sector, rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) offers the opportunity for consumers to generate their own electricity and export any excess to the grid. In the transportation sector, alternative fueled vehicles, such as those powered by electricity, can substantially reduce GHG emissions if fueled by renewable sources. Electric vehicles (EVs) also have the ability to ease the integration of growing levels of intermittent sources of renewable energy by acting as an energy storage device. Understanding the factors affecting adoption of pro-environmental technologies is crucial to achieving widespread deployment and reducing GHG emissions.
The first chapter explores whether there is a premium attached to homes that have PV. Using a hedonic pricing model and home resale and PV building permit data from 2000-2013 for Oahu, I find that the presence of PV on a home adds on average 5% to the value of a home. Since many of the circuits in Hawaii have reached legal limits for PV installations, homebuyers have an expectation that future installations will be limited. Therefore, the value of the system goes beyond its capital investments to incorporate expected electricity savings.
The second chapter estimates the effectiveness of policy incentives for EVs, financial and otherwise, using a within model difference-in-difference approach and rich dataset of semi-annual state-level vehicle registrations by model from 2010-2015. The results suggest that consumers respond to vehicle purchase incentives, and therefore policies that reduce the upfront purchase price of vehicles may be an effective mechanism to achieve widespread deployment of EVs. The third chapter examines the role of geographic peer effects in the adoption of EVs using zip code-level vehicle registration data for Hawaii and by exploiting the different lag structure of Nissan and other EVs. The results provide evidence for the presence of geographic peer effects, suggesting that the peer effects multiplier could be relied on to help jumpstart policy and should be factored into future policy design.

▼ A promising method for charging batteries of
electric vehicles (EV) is inductive power transfer (IPT), also known as inductive charging. IPT, a convenient, safe, and aesthetic method of charging EVs, inductively transfers high-frequency AC power in the transmitting pad, or coil, to the receiving pad, or coil. However, the application of IPT entails several practical limitations. For example, misalignment of the coils and varied charging distance (air gap) between the coils change the magnetic coupling effect between the transmitting and receiving coils. As a result, system stability decreases because the electrical characteristics in different charging cycles vary. Previous research has rarely proposed an adaptive and effective method to solve the problems of varied coupling. Many EV models, however, exist on the market and more will be released in the future. A universal charger suitable for charging various models of EVs will have broad applications, especially in public charging areas. Therefore, we must design a universal inductive charger capable of providing stable charging voltage to various loads, even with influences by varied magnetic coupling. Also important is the design standard of on-board chargers used for universal inductive charging. The design schemes of the universal inductive charger and on-board chargers can be used as references for the future development of the entire EV inductive charging system.

▼ The electrification of the transport sector requires the interconnection of the Electric Vehicles (EV) with the electricity grids utilizing appropriate charging infrastructures. The EV energy needs should be served as domestic consumption in a non-discriminatory way. The difference between EV and domestic demands lies in the fact that the charging demand is not static due to EV mobility and it presents intense spatial and temporal volatility. From the grid perspective, the EV charging demand is an additional load which can significantly modify the system load curve and affect the way electricity networks are operated and managed, in respect to the EV deployment level and the charging policy. The present PhD thesis aims to analyse the impact of EV deployment on the operation of electricity grids and to propose EV management algorithms that enables their efficient integration in the electricity grids in respect to the outcome of the grid impact analysis. The objective of an EV management is network dependent and it is directly linked to the technical and operational characteristics of the respective network under study. Thus, a holistic grid impact analysis (generation system, transmission/distribution networks, non-interconnected systems) is necessary in order to identify the potential operational market/network issues that EV share will provoke examining different EV penetration scenarios and EV deployment strategies. The two main goals of the proposed EV management algorithms in the present PhD thesis are: the maximization of the EV hosting capacity of distribution networks considering the current grid infrastructure as well as distributed renewable energy and the integrated market participation of the aggregated EV batteries’ capacity, taking into consideration the bidirectional power flow between the electric vehicles and the electricity grid. The dynamic EV behavior due to their mobility requires the development of advanced smart charging solutions aiming to serve EV charging needs balancing EV users’ preferences, network operational constraints and electricity market parameters. The implementation of decentralized management algorithms is highly volatile environments can be more efficient compared to centralized ones. Thus, the present PhD thesis focuses on the design and development of decentralized EV control algorithms. The performance of the proposed decentralized EV control algorithms is compared to the one of the respective centralized methods concluding that distributed algorithms provide results of similar quality requiring shorter computation time under high EV share.Last but not least, a standard custom-made charging station and an interoperable back-office system for charging stations network has been developed enabling the performance of compatibility tests to e-mobility standards of different commercial e-mobility technologies and the implementation of innovative EV management algorithms in laboratory or real environment.

▼ Interest in electric vehicles (EVs) has increased rapidly over recent years from both industrial and academic viewpoints due to increasing concerns about environmental pollution and global oil usage. In the automotive sector, huge efforts have been invested in vehicle technology to improve efficiency and reduce carbon emissions with, for example, electric vehicles. Nowadays, the safety and handling of electric vehicles present new tasks for vehicle dynamics engineers due to the changes in weight distribution and vehicle architecture. This thesis focuses on one design area of the electric vehicle – torque vectoring control – with the aim of investigating the potential benefits of improved vehicle dynamics and handling for EVs. A full electric racing car kit developed by Westfield Sportcars based on an in-line motors design has been modelled in ADAMS with typical subsystems, and then simulated with computer-based kinematic and dynamic analyses. Thus, the characteristics of the suspensions and the natural frequencies of the sprung and unsprung masses were found, so that the model was validated for further simulation and investigation. Different architectures of the EVs, namely the in-line motors and the in-wheel motors, are compared using objective measurements. The objective measurements predicted with kinematics, dynamics and handling analyses confirm that the architecture of the in-line motors provides a superior dynamics performance for ride and driveability. An Optimal Driveline Control Strategy (ODCS) based on the concept of individual wheel control is designed and its performance is compared with the more common driveline used successfully in the past. The research challenge is to investigate the optimisation of the driving torque outputs to control the vehicle and provide the desired vehicle dynamics. The simulation results confirm that active yaw control is indeed achievable. The original aspects of this work include defining the characteristics and linearity of the project vehicle using a novel consideration of yaw rate gain; the design and development the Optimal Driveline Control Strategy (ODCS); the analysis and modelling the ODCS in the vehicle and the comparison of the results with conventional drivelines. The work has demonstrated that valuable performance benefits result from using optimal torque vectoring control for electric vehicle.

▼ Plug-in
Electric Vehicles (PEV) battery chargers are mostly connected to the low-voltage grid for charging, hence their increased penetration coupled with uncoordinated charging could impact the distribution system in terms of voltage unbalance and transformer overloading. Although PEV battery charging is increasing, impact on the distribution system is not fully understood. This study focuses on voltage unbalance caused by uneven distribution of PEV penetration among the phases. Using real data provided by utility, a distribution system has been modeled and tested using MATLAB-SIMULINK. PEV penetration level at 10-80% is studied, voltage unbalance is calculated and transformer overloading is analyzed. In the simulations conducted without PEV penetration, the real data at intellirupters of the system were close to simulated system voltages and currents. As PEV adoption is expected to increase, the impact on the distribution system will increase. Coordinated
or smart charging of PEVs will be essential for
consumers and utilities.

▼ The growing concerns about global climate change and urban emissions have stimulated the growth of electric vehicles (EVs), which are considered an important ingredient in sustainable transportation and a major contender to reduce traffic emissions including greenhouse gas. However, a massive adoption of EVs is hurdled by several barriers: high purchase price, limited driving range, long battery charging time, and lack of sufficient charging infrastructure. The range anxiety due to running out of battery typically arises in inter-city trips and the range will be extended in the future. The long battery charging time will be much shortened by the emerging battery swapping technology or supercharger. Therefore, to jumpstart the EV market, it relies on a massive deployment of the charging infrastructure, as well as price subsidy to reduce the high purchase price of EVs. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the impact of different strategies to increase the EV market penetration, and investigate how to allocate limited resources or budget to maximize the EV market, leading to the largest reduction in the resultant emissions. To achieve the goal, we first develop a mixed user equilibrium model with elastic EV demand to capture the charging behavior of EVs. The main difference between EVs and gasoline vehicles (GVs) lies in that certain EVs with immediate charging need have to traverse a specific station for recharging, while GVs and other EVs without immediate charging need do not have such a requirement. The proportion of EVs with immediate charging need is OD specific, related to their daily commute trip lengths and EV driving ranges, i.e. EVs will need recharging once every few days. The mixed user equilibrium (MUE) conditions state that EV drivers with charging need choose the routes via a charging station while en route to their destinations with minimum travel time cost, electricity cost plus charging station cost; whereas GV drivers and other EV drivers select the routes with minimum travel cost without having to traverse any charging station. The demands for EVs and GVs follow a logit model, whose utility functions are derived from an EV market survey conducted in Hong Kong. We formulate a convex mathematical program to capture the MUE conditions, and develop a double-stage algorithm for efficient solution. Furthermore, the MUE model exhibits the property of link flows preservation, i.e., as the EV market penetration increases up to a certain level, the link flows in the network remain unchanged. Next, based on the MUE model, we propose a mixed network design problem (MNDP) to investigate the optimal strategies for EV market development, which can be formulated as a bi-level programming model. The upper level is to design the combined strategies of the purchase price subsidy and the charging station deployment to maximize EV demand under a budget constraint. The lower level problem is the mixed user equilibrium (MUE) model given the deployment scheme and the price subsidy. A global solution algorithm of range…

▼ Thermal management system is necessary to control the operating temperature of the lithium ion batteries in battery packs for electrical and hybrid electrical
vehicles. This thesis studies, develops and models novel battery thermal management systems for the battery packs in hybrid
electric vehicles and
electric vehicles. The systems??? thermal performances are assessed through thermal and electrochemical models. The performances of the proposed systems are investigated in terms of various performance measures including the maximum temperature in the pack and the temperature distribution throughout the battery pack and through each battery. The results show that pool based systems achieve better performance for cylindrical battery packs than for prismatic battery packs. For a pool system, covering 30% of the battery height reduces the maximum battery temperature by 28% to 40% depending on the fuel type for a high intensity cycle. To achieve 28% to 40% reduction in the prismatic battery maximum temperature from the case where there is no cooling, the pool system has to cover 80% of the battery height. The best performing system for prismatic battery packs is the tube based system, where the aluminum cold plate has tubes completely filled with coolant to maintain the battery temperature within range needed for the best performance possible by the system. The tube cold plate based system maintains 80% less coolant in the battery pack at a time than the direct contact pool based system while achieving a higher performance in terms of the maximum battery temperature and the maximum temperature difference across the battery pack. The response time for the proposed systems reached nearly 10 times faster than liquid and air systems proposed in the literature. Compared with the literature the pool based system response was 1.7% of the cycle time compared to around 17% for the cycle time for the mini channel cold plate cooling system.

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Electrical Engineering 2019.
As the electric vehicle (EV) is becoming more and more popular, there exists an increasing need for more efficient charging facilities for both on-board and off-board chargers. High power density on-board charger can help reduce the weight of the vehicle and leading to higher miles per kilo-watt-hour (kwh). What is more, EV with tens of kilo-watt-hour battery is a perfect energy storage unit with mobility. Hence, in the next generation modern home-based microgrid system, EV can play multiple roles beyond transportation. For example, EV can send active power back to the grid, which can help reduce the power grid burden during peak hour. EV can also improve the distribution power grid quality by sending reactive (either inductive or capacitive) power to the grid especially where the heavy unbalanced load is connected. The power flow interaction between the vehicle is often recognized as G2V (Grid to vehicle or charging mode) or V2G (vehicle to grid). Not only does EV can help stabilize the grid, but also it can benefit the home appliance by providing robust AC (single-phase or three-phase) or DC voltage output for various loads whenever the mainline is not available. However, these application scenarios would not be feasible if there is no such universal power converter to facilitate the power flow. A modular and universal power converter is of great need to achieve this goal. Hardware design flexibility and scalability are very important which allows configurations into different ways to accomplish various functions mentioned above. Hence, in this thesis, a hardware prototype with the mentioned property is built to prove the idea and solve the challenges of integrating all function in a single unit. The wide bandgap power device is used due to their excellence in the reduction of switching and conduction losses. Robust gate drive design with protection feature is explained and verified with experiments results. Galvanic isolation is required in such a converter and implemented by an isolation transformer. The nanocrystalline core material is selected to construct the isolation transformer in this prototype since it has higher saturation flux density and relatively low core losses at high frequency. Optimization algorithm for low conduction loss under variable operating modes is proposed. A generalized transformer design procedure is also discussed and verified with experimental results. To realize these multiple functions, sensors and digital signal processors are used to control this converter. Detailed control strategy for each application scenario has been analyzed and verified with simulation or experimental results.

▼ As the world's major car-producing countries and companies are increasing research and development efforts on vehicle electrification, electric vehicles (EVs) are developing rapidly from the development and testing stage to commodity production and application stage. As the largest global vehicle manufacturer and new vehicle market, China has considered the EV as one of the key tools to solve the increasing energy security issues and environmental pollution issues in the road transport sector. However, as a new market, what the challenges and key factors are in the EV promotion process is still not clear. The main objective of this dissertation is to answer this question through evaluating the effectiveness of EV development in China on energy savings, environment protection and policy demonstration. Instead of covering all determinants, this dissertation mainly focuses on four key aspects: the current statues and issues surrounding China's EV development and promotion; the energy consumption and carbon emissions of EVs based on the power mix both at the state level and regional level; the potential diffusion trend of the EV penetration and the sensitivities of the key impact factors; and the evaluation of the effectiveness of the EV demonstration program in China. Applying a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods (such as lifecycle analysis, diffusion model and evaluation framework), this dissertation found that, in addition to the technology limitation of the EV, there are still many issues surrounding the environmental, industry, infrastructure and policy aspects, which have hindered EV development in China. To accelerate EV promotion, more comprehensive and diversified policy strategies should be developed instead only focusing on the financial subsidies. The charging infrastructures, for example, showed a more important role in EV penetration than the pricing factors, based on current market conditions. For the energy and environmental motivations, although the pure battery EV (BEV) can achieve a great reduction in fossil energy consumption, its benefits in carbon emission savings is not obvious due to China's heavy reliance on coal-fired power generation. The plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) seems to be the right choice as a transit technology, according to its performance with emission savings in the current market situation. An evaluation framework has been developed in this dissertation to discuss the effectiveness of the EV demonstration program in China, and help to guide a more balanced development of EVs by considering comprehensive aspects, which include the EV industry, market conditions, policy support, and environmental impacts. Ultimately, this dissertation provides recommendations for the policy implementation for developing a diversified and flexible policy strategy for the EV penetration in China based on different technology choices (EV types), different situations (national and regional) and different timelines (short-term, mid-term and long-term).

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Electrical Engineering 2019.
With the present trend of reducing carbon emissions to the environment, electric vehicles (EVs) have become a popular topic for the scientific community and automotive-related industries. In order to increase the number of EVs on the road, customers’ main concerns: driving range, charging time, and vehicle price need to be addressed. These concerns can be resolved in a variety of manners, ranging from improving the chemistry to the charging units of the EV battery. This dissertation focuses on advancing the two types of charging units: plug-in and wireless, particularly improving the following crucial features: efficiency, reliability, size, and cost. The first half of the dissertation offers solutions for the plug-in technology, specifically in the power levels of extreme fast chargers (XFC), which will charge EVs within 10 minutes. Current XFC stations have a fixed charging-port configuration (CPC), using a single port to charge any EV type, which requires their power converters to be larger and more expensive than likely necessary. In this dissertation, a 13.8kV, 1.2MW XFC system with a CPC that adapts in response to the types of EVs connected is proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed CPC allows a station to have a 40%-66.7% smaller power rating compared to one using the conventional CPC, thus achieving a less expensive and smaller system.For safety reasons, the proposed XFC station as well as conventional plug-in chargers isolate EVs from the power grid with high-frequency transformers (HFTx), which are one of the most heavy, bulky, and inefficient components in the station. Traditional methods to specifically reduce the HFTx’s core loss are limited to their design and manufacturing, and typically rely on complex optimization algorithms. An online-based approach to reduce this loss is proposed in this dissertation, which relative to the conventional methods, is less time consuming to implement and can be easily applied in existing stations. Theoretical analysis and simulation results from ANSOFT Maxwell show a core loss reduction of 50% at light load, and of 80% at full-load. The second half of the dissertation presents solutions for the wireless technology, which enables EVs to re-charge while driven. Conventional single-phase wireless chargers rely on a two-stage power conversion to perform power factor correction (PFC) and to regulate power flow. To absorb the inherent “2ω” ripple flowing in the system, a large dc-link capacitor is used; which is sized with an equation that relies on a single operating condition. This sizing approach may cause reliability issues, and can inadvertently suggest that the station needs a larger and more expensive capacitor than needed. To overcome this limitation, this dissertation proposes a simulation-validated generalized equation that accounts for system control variables and the whole load range. The conventional two-stage charger inherently possess the following drawbacks: 1) extra…

▼ Hybrid
electric vehicles (HEV’s) are a very important part of today’s
transportation system as they are bridging the gap between fully
electric vehicles and
conventional internal combustion
vehicles (ICV’s). They have much higher efficiencies
and lower emissions than ICV’s, while still having the ability to travel long range and
refuel conveniently. The advantages offered by HEV’s have caused several major
automobile manufacturers to develop HEV’s for public use and they are also being
developed for military use. With the necessity of high performance
vehicles the need
arises for investigations on the converter generated harmonics which may become
increasingly important. This is because there are several problems associated with
harmonics including, high frequency interference, additional heat, mechanical stresses
and audible noise (vibration) that may shorten the life of the equipment involved in
HEV’s and lower their reliability.
This thesis models, predicts, and mitigates the dc bus harmonics that are
reflected by power electronic converters. It includes the investigation of dc bus
harmonics through sine-triangle pulse width modulation (SPWM) analytical derivations (open and closed form) and switching function approaches, as well as verification
through Simulink and PSpice simulations, which all showed very good correlation. The
resulting dc bus harmonics were also compared against MIL-STD-461 distortion limits.
In the case where MIL-STD-461 was not met, mitigation techniques involved
increasing the size of the dc bus capacitor. For further comparison, the space vector
PWM (SVM) switching function approach has also been implemented in the
simulations. Next, an experimental verification is presented and compared with a
Simulink simulation which operates at approximately the same parameters. The final
section of this report presents an overall comparison of the output line-to-line voltage
harmonics, and the dc currents, for all of the above approaches.

▼ DURING the last decade, Electric Vehicles (EVs) have become a reality, and several products that offer a cleaner alternative for transportation have become available on the market. However, despite the numerous advantages
of EVs, drivers are still more inclined to use conventional vehicles because they do not see them as a real alternative to transportation. The main reasons for this are the long refueling process using conventional overnight
charging and their limited mileage capacity. Several options have been explored in order to address this reticent behaviour toward EVs. Among these alternatives, the high-power fast charging process of the battery packs holds the potential to facilitate large-scale adoption of EVs. However, to reduce the charging times and also meet all the challenges and requirements of this growing application, new high-performance architectures must be conceived and developed. Framed by this context, the main goal of this thesis is to contribute the development of fast-charging stations (FCS) configurations, control schemes and coordination methods to facilitate its grid integration. The increased power levels and the amount of energy involved in transportation, make multilevel power converters as the most suitable topologies for enabling the station. Aiming in this direction, a novel architecture for FCS is
proposed, based on the use of a bipolar dc bus enabled by a central Neutral Point Clamped Converter.
Given the selected dc configuration, the balancing of the dc voltages becomes more complex. This is related with the stochastic nature of the EV charging load, leading to unbalanced dc loads. To overcome this issue two balancing methods are proposed based on the use of a balancing circuit that enhances the central converter capabilities.
Moreover, the architecture enables the inclusion of energy storage and generation stages, allowing to extend its functionality. To fully explore the potential benefits of FCS, a third balancing mechanism is developed based
on the use of an energy buffer. Without altering its main function, its power consumption can be managed toward aiding the balancing tasks.
Additionally, the inclusion of these optional stages requires a proper management of the energy available in the system. A novel generalized energy management strategy is proposed, that allows to evaluate the economical
benefits of the different configurations.

▼ In the United States, more than a quarter of greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions (27%) are attributed to the transportation sector which comprises mainly of
vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (ICE). To reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and the resulting GHG emissions associated with conventional ICE
vehicles, plug-in hybrid
vehicles are being promoted as a viable near-term vehicle technology. This paper is a comparative experimental study of two types of hybrid systems: parallel (also known as plug-in hybrid) and series (also known as extended-range
electric) hybrid systems. The two hybrid systems are modelled on an
electric bicycle platform and field tested to analyze their performance. The fuel economy was measured and compared in L/100km and the
electric powertrain efficiency of the system was measured and compared in watt-hours per kilometer (Wh/km). A sensitivity analysis is carried out in terms of different transmission gear ratios and the variable setpoints in the hybrid control logic to access the impact these factors have on the performance of the hybrid system. This paper focuses only on the technological aspect of the hybrid system and any social and policy aspects associated are not considered. The constructive modeling of the hybrid system, the limitations faced during the process and the results of the field tests are presented.

▼ This thesis contains three analyses relating to energy and the transition to a low-carbon economy. In Chapter 1, an hourly model is estimated to predict electricity load and price simultaneously. This model is used to calculate how
electric vehicles affect electricity markets in New York City and the Hudson Valley for different penetration rates. Charging
electric vehicles at night increases the off-peak prices for all customers. The net monthly cost for a PHEV user is about 9 compared to a savings of 115 in gasoline. The extra cost for non-users is only 2. If the feedback effect of load on price is ignored, the extra monthly cost per customer is underestimated by nearly 50%. The costs of PHEV can be reduced substantially by introducing a Vehicle-to-Grid program because it reduces the on-peak prices for all customers and is more than enough to offset the higher off-peak prices. Chapter 2 determines the optimal energy use portfolio, carbon cap, and carbon shadow price from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) by developing an algorithm to maximize social welfare with a carbon damage cost. By introducing a carbon damage cost, coal and natural gas consumption is reduced over time because the damage from burning fossil fuels increases dramatically over time. The optimum carbon price is determined to be 60/tCO2e compared to the current RGGI price of 2/tCO2e. Chapter 3 presents the first analysis to use a dynamic structural model to divide the total electricity load into Temperature Sensitive Load (TSL) and Non-Temperature Sensitive Load. (N-TSL). The analysis shows how the system cost can be minimized when controllable thermal storage is used to offset traditional air conditioning demand in New York State and New England. Benefits from reductions in both the energy cost and capacity cost are calculated for thermal storage owners and non-owners. Using only 30% of the TSL, the optimum daily patterns of load and price are effectively flat. However, the main savings are from reducing the peak load, and the associated capacity costs, and not from the lower cost of purchasing electricity.

▼ This thesis investigates the impact that home charging of a large private fleet of electric vehicles would have on the power system. A large multi-regional travel survey dataset is used to model vehicle use and charging spatially heterogeneously, and a selection of representative network models are used to assess the impact of charging on system operation. A stochastic data-driven model is proposed to model uncontrolled charging of vehicles, and convex optimisation is used to calculate the optimal smart charging strategy. The power system is commonly broken down into the generation, transmission, and distribution systems. The operation of each of these systems will be impacted by the addition of EV charging to residential networks. A variety of objectives have been proposed for smart charging, each of which would protect the system in a different way. Existing research tends to focus on a single part of the system, and considers only the smart charging objective that most benefits that part of the system. Here, the three systems are modelled simultaneously, and a large range of smart charging objectives are investigated. The value of explicit loss minimising smart charging is quantified, compared to a simpler and more standard load flattening algorithm. These results are used to propose a novel optimisation formulation which reduces losses without requiring extensive network information. The value of bi-directional smart charging is also quantified compared to uni-directional smart charging, in order to investigate the viability of residential vehicle-to-grid. It is demonstrated that it is not possible to optimise the transmission level and distribution level systems simultaneously, and the penalty of only optimising for one is quantified. A method for finding a compromising solution between both system levels is proposed, which exploits the sections of the distribution where components are over-specified. Two specific case studies are investigated. The majority of the analysis in the thesis is based on the GB power system, however the Texas system is also presented as a comparative case study.
