▼ Trabalho Final de Mestrado para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica
Tem-se assistido nos últimos tempos a um aumento do preço do crude e este facto tem levado a um decréscimo acentuado na procura de veículos movidos a combustível fóssil, como se verificou nos últimos anos no nosso país. Impõe-se deste modo, uma procura de alternativas à dependência crónica do crude por parte do setor dos transportes e do parque automóvel em geral.
O presente trabalho debruçou-se sobre o estudo económico-financeiro da conversão de veículos diesel em elétricos da frota da Base Aérea n.º6, no Montijo, sem comprometimento da sua atividade diária. Após conhecida a tipologia dos veículos passíveis de conversão para tração elétrica, o estudo centrou-se na existência de vantagens nessa conversão ao nível económico, comparando o investimento desta com os custos associados à manutenção com motorização diesel. Para o efeito recolheram-se os dados relativos a estes veículos, tais como os custos de aquisição, sustentação e percursos efetuados durante o período de janeiro a dezembro de 2012, dados esses que permitiram concluir sobre as vantagens económicas da referida conversão.
In the last few years, we have witnessed in Portugal to a growth in the price of crude and this led to a decline in the demand for vehicles powered by fossil fuel. It is urgent to search new alternatives for the transport sector as there is a chronic reliance for petroleum and its derivatives.
This work focused on the economic and financial study of the conversion of diesel vehicles of Air Base nº6 in Montijo into electric vehicles, considering that all the daily activities performed by them were not compromised. After knowing the type of vehicle that can be converted to electric traction, the study will be to determine whether this is an advantageous process considering the initial investments and maintenance costs of both vehicles. To this purpose it was collected innumerous information, such as initial costs, maintenance expenses and their routes from January to December 2012, which will confirm whether it is economically advantageous to convert them.

▼ The introduction of
plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) into the transportation system will provide both opportunities and challenges for those who own the vehicles and power systems operators. The opportunities come in the form of the ability to provide
vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services including peak load reduction and frequency regulation. Utilizing these services can provide profits for the
vehicle owners, cost savings for the grid operators, and reduced air pollution. The primary goal of this study is to analyze these benefits from the viewpoint of the individual
vehicle owner. It is found that there is little financial incentive when V2G services are used for peak reduction. There is much greater potential for financial return when V2G services are used to provide frequency regulation, likely enough to incentivize many people to participate in such a program. Proposed in this paper is a system that combines these V2G services into a single program, which could have the effect of ensuring profits for the individual, while still providing cost-saving opportunities for grid operators, and emission reductions during the times when it is needed most. In addition to the opportunities brought about by increased penetration of PHEVs, there are challenges as well. This comes mainly in the form of increased demand for electricity. The possible effects on electricity load of increased PHEV penetration and V2G participation are analyzed in this paper. Furthermore, an econometric model is used to predict the effect of increased electricity load on electricity price at each hour of the day. It is found that increased PHEV penetration can (in a regulated charging scheme) increase electricity loads and prices during the hours when electricity loads and prices are currently lowest. Furthermore, if V2G technology is used for peak reduction, electricity loads and prices can be reduced during peak electricity demand hours. The overall effect of this is a flattening of the daily electricity load and price profiles, which is likely to be beneficial for power system operators. The flattening of the daily electricity price profile has the effect of reducing profits when V2G technology is used for peak reduction because it raises the price during charging (buying electricity) and lowers the price during discharging (selling electricity). While the analysis presented here works within the framework of the current electricity markets, it is possible that the best use for V2G technology could come in a program that allows grid operators to dispatch the stored energy for the optimal purpose (e.g.: peak reduction, regulation, reserves, ramping) at any period of time. This would require a different type of market structure, possibly even a separate market for storage, in which V2G services could participate.

▼ As the global demand for energy increases, the people of the United States are increasingly
subject to high and ever-rising oil prices. Additionally, the U.S. transportation sector accounts for 27% of total nationwide Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In the U.S. transportation sector, light-duty passenger vehicles account for about 58% of energy use. Therefore incremental improvements in light-duty
vehicle efficiency and energy use will significantly impact the overall landscape of energy use in America.
A crucial step to designing and building more efficient vehicles is modeling powertrain energy consumption. While accurate modeling is indeed key to effective and efficient design, a fundamental understanding of the powertrain and auxiliary systems that contribute to energy consumption for a
vehicle is equally as important if not more important. This thesis presents a methodology that has been packaged into a tool, called VTool, that can be used to estimate the energy consumption of a
vehicle powertrain. The method is intrinsically designed to foster understanding of the
vehicle powertrain as it relates to energy consumption while still providing reasonably accurate results. VTool explicitly calculates the energy required at the wheels of the
vehicle to complete a prescribed drive cycle and then explicitly applies component efficiencies to find component losses and the overall energy consumption for the drive cycle. In calculating component efficiencies and losses, VTool offers several tunable parameters that can be used to calibrate the tool for a particular
vehicle, compare powertrain architectures, or simply explore the tradeoffs and sensitivities of certain parameters.
In this paper, the method is fully and explicitly developed to model
Electric Vehicles (EVs), Series
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Parallel HEVs for various different drive cycles. VTool has also been validated for use in UDDS and HwFET cycles using on-road test results from the 2011 EcoCAR competition. By extension, the method could easily be extended for use in other cycles. The end result is a tool that can predict fuel consumption to a reasonable degree of accuracy for a variety of powertrains, calculate J1711 Utility Factor weighted energy consumption for Extended Range
Electric Vehicles (EREVs) and determine the Well-to-Wheel impact of a given powertrain or fuel. VTool does all of this while performing all calculations explicitly and calculating all component losses to allow the user maximum access which promotes understanding and comprehension of the fundamental dynamics of automotive fuel economy and the powertrain as a system.

▼ Throughout the past several years, a major push has been made for the automotive industry to provide vehicles with lower environmental impacts while maintaining safety, performance, and overall appeal. Various legislation has been put into place to establish guidelines for these improvements and serve as a challenge for automakers all over the world. In light of these changes,
hybrid technologies have been growing immensely on the market today as customers are seeing the benefits with lower fuel consumption and higher efficiency vehicles. With the need for hybrids rising, it is vital for the engineers of this age to understand the importance of advanced
vehicle technologies and learn how and why these vehicles can change the world as we know it. To help in the education process, this thesis seeks to define a powertrain model created and developed to help users understand the basics behind
hybrid vehicles and the effects of these advanced technologies.
One of the main goals of this research is to maintain a simplified approach to model development. There are very complex
vehicle simulation models in the market today, however these can be hard to manipulate and even more difficult to understand. The 1 Hz model described within this work aims to allow energy to be simply and understandable traced through a
hybrid powertrain. Through the use of a 'backwards' energy tracking method, demand for a drive cycle is found using a drive cycle and
vehicle parameters. This demand is then used to determine what amount of energy would be required at each component within the powertrain all the way from the wheels to the fuel source, taking into account component losses and accessory loads on the
vehicle. Various energy management strategies are developed and explained including controls for regenerative braking, Battery
Electric Vehicles, and Thermostatic and Load-following Series
Hybrid Electric Vehicles. These strategies can be easily compared and manipulated to understand the tradeoffs and limitations of each.
After validating this model, several studies are completed. First, an example of using this model to design a
hybrid powertrain is conducted. This study moves from defining system requirements to component selection, and then finding the best powertrain to accomplish the given constraints. Next, a parameter known as Power Split Fraction is studied to provide insight on how it affects overall powertrain efficiency. Since the goal with advanced
vehicle powertrains is to increase overall system efficiency and reduce overall energy consumption, it is important to understand how all of the factors involved affect the system as a whole. After completing these studies, this thesis moves on to discussing future work which will continue refining this model and making it more applicable for design. Overall, this work seeks to provide an educational tool and aid in the development of the automotive engineers of tomorrow.

▼ Because of the rising awareness of environmental protection, the worldwide governments have proposed policies for enhancing the penetration of the
plug-in
electric vehicles (PEVs) to reduce the carbon emissions. PEVs are expected to replace the fuel vehicles in the future. PEVs can be charged at home as users finish their daily job. However, the residential power load plus the PEVs charging load would go beyond the limitation of power grid. In this thesis, we apply the concept of additive increase and multiplicative decrease (AIMD) to develop three load management approaches in decentralized ways: First, we modulate the available power according to the varying electricity price. Second, we adjust the charging rate by using the congestion prices. Third, we introduce weight factor to decide charging priority for the load management. The weight factor of the PEV is function of the remaining charging time and the stopping time of the PEV. In order to get high priority in charging, users may submit the less stopping time against their consciences. For fairness purpose, we combine the PEV weight factor with a pricing policy so that those users who submit the false report cannot get any benefit.

▼ This thesis is dedicated to study how the charging behaviours of plug-in hybrid vehicles affect the local distribution network. This study focuses on two issues: the power loss and charging cost optimization. The multi-objective particle swarm optimization technique is applied to achieve the optimal charging schedule, resulting in acceptable additional power loss ratio and charging cost. The power loss on electric lines is correlated to the load demand. However,due to the complexity of the distribution network including the transformers and unbalances of loads,it is necessary to understand the power loss-load demand model. The loss-load modelling is based on the distribution network structure and power flow analysis. The two classic distribution networks (IEEE 13-Node and IEEE 34-Node) are employed for power flow analysis.As the consequence of power flow analysis,a new power loss-load demand model is presented. In this thesis, the additional power loss ratio (APLR) is analysed to present the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) impact of power losses on distribution network. To study the charging cost impacts of PHEV,the least square error method is employed to curve fit the data of Australia electricity market and the electricity price-load and further charging cost-load equations are derived. Particle swarm optimization method is used in the optimization and Multi-Objective optimization is conducted to achieve the optimal charging schedule for PHEV to cause less APLR at acceptable charging costs. All the methodologies and algorithms are verified by simulations. The power losses and charging cost impacts and optimizations are simulated by DigSilent Power Factory and MATLAB.

▼ The emergence of
plug-in
electric vehicles (PEVs) shall bring a significant impact on the existing power system. In this thesis, we propose decentralized energy management strategies for PEVs to mitigate the impact of PEV-charging by using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) base on smart grid. With the proposed strategies, we can handle the high penetration level of PEVs. However,
the decentralized algorithm based on the ADMM method requires large numbers of iterations to achieve their optimal solutions. To improve their convergence rate, we divide the whole system into two sub-systems: the user sub-system and the grid sub-system. The user sub-system coordinates the PEV charging(discharging) and aims at maximizing user convenience levels while meeting predefined power demand
limits. We develop a distributed algorithm to solve the charging(discharging) problem in a decentralized manner. In addition, we exploit driving habit of individual EV user to accelerate the convergence rate. On the other hand, the grid sub-system
aims at minimizing power generation cost while meeting some circuit-level limits. We also develop a distributed algorithm to solve the optimization problem at the grid side. Finally, several simulations are conducted to verify the efficiency of the proposed energy management strategies.

electric motors, and a Weber MPE 850cc turbocharged engine. To combine the three inputs into a singular output a custom gearbox was designed with seven helical gears. The gears were designed to handle the high torque and speeds the
vehicle would experience. The use of this custom gearbox allows for a variety of control strategies. By optimizing the torque supplied by each motor, the overall energy consumption of the
vehicle could be reduced. Additionally, studies were completed on the engine to understand the effects of injecting water into the engines intake manifold at 25% pedal request from 2000-3500 rpm. Overall, every speed showed an optimum at 20% water to fuel ratio, which obtained reductions in brake specific fuel consumption of up to 9.4%.

▼ Modern power system aims to provide reliable, economic, as well as environmental friendly power supply to its customers. In the past few decades, power systems are going through considerable changes to both the power consumption side as well as the power generation side. The power system planners are faced with growing challenges in maintaining acceptable level of system reliability as new types of loads and generation introduce increased uncertainty in power system planning and operation.
New types of
electric devices or loads are often introduced in the market to provide customers more convenience and energy efficiency of utilizing
electric power.
Electric Vehicle provides an alternative to conventional transport vehicles that burn petroleum fuel and release harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
Plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a relatively new model of EV with more flexibility, and is considered in this research to assess the impacts of charging behavior on the overall power system reliability. PHEV load is different from other types of
electric loads as it introduces high variability and uncertainty, and therefore, requires proper modeling of its special characteristics. Different charging scenarios significantly influence power system reliability. This thesis provides a PHEV modeling methodology that incorporates the uncertainty in charging and driving behaviors using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method.
As PHEV sales are increased in response to environmental support, their impacts to system reliability will also increase. A range of reliability studies are carried out in the IEEE Reliability Test System (IEEE-RTS) to investigate the impacts of PHEV charging on system reliability. The system reliability degrades significantly with increase in PHEV penetration if PHEV owners charge their vehicles as soon as they arrive home from work. This effect can be mitigated by introducing a policy for delayed charging. Access to public charging will increase as PHEV increase in the future. The results show that a policy to manage public charging will be important to maintain power system reliability within acceptable limits. As the growth of PHEV is mainly driven by perceived environmental benefits, this research also explores the interactions between PHEV load and wind energy, and their combined impact of power system reliability. Based on the analysis of the results from case studies performed on the IEEE-RTS, this research provides valuable input for future power systems that are expected to support more PHEV and renewable energy.

▼ The personal
vehicle transportation fleet relies heavily on non-renewable and pollutive sources of fuel, such as petroleum. However, with harsher restrictions from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and California Air Resource Board's (CARB) Zero Emission
Vehicle (ZEV) standards coupled with growing sales for alternative fueled vehicles, the automotive industry has begun to shift toward more renewable and clean sources of energy to power vehicles. The fuel cell
plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle (FCPHEV) architecture provides a unique and promising solution to decreasing the dependence of vehicles on petroleum and decreasing the amount of pollution emitted from tailpipes. Until recently, the FCPHEV architecture had only been developed in concept cars and paper studies. However, recent studies have confirmed the capability of the FCPHEV concept in terms of its economics, environmental benefits, and real-world viability. From this concept it becomes important to understand how daily commuters will benefit from driving a FCPHEV using real world driving data. Through the use of geographic information system (GIS) data of
vehicle travel in the Puget Sound area from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) a model of electrical and hydrogen energy consumption of a fleet of FCPHEVs can be constructed. This model can be modified to model the driving, charging and fueling habits of drivers using four different all-
electric driving ranges, and using either a normal
plug-in
hybrid control strategy or a control strategy that focuses on highway fuel cell operation. These comparisons are used to analyze the driving habits of daily commuters while using a FCPHEV, and the effect of the FCPHEV architecture on the location of hydrogen refueling. The results of this thesis help to define FCPHEV energy management strategies and show that the FCPHEV architecture can concentrate the location of hydrogen refueling to predictable areas and aid in the development of the hydrogen refueling infrastructure.

▼ The transportation sector accounts for 28% of total US energy consumption, and 93% of this energy comes from petroleum resources (Energy Information Administration, 2014). If the effect of energy use for the transportation industry go unchecked, the associated emissions represent one of the biggest threats to our global environment. To reduce energy consumption used by transportation simply by traveling less or shipping less goods would hinder commerce and slow economic growth. It becomes important then to find an engineering solution to the environmental impacts of personal transportation in order to allow commerce and economic growth to continue uninhibited. The EcoCAR2 competition is a three year long collegiate level automotive engineering competition in which fifteen universities across North America to reduce the environmental impact of personal automobiles without sacrificing the consumer acceptability of the
vehicle (Argonne National Labratories, 2014). It is the first competition of its kind designed to create automotive technology that can penetrate the mass market and have significant and lasting environmental impact reductions. The technical goals allow for modifications to the power train of the
vehicle and control strategy innovations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, criteria emissions, petroleum energy consumption, and total energy consumption. The phrase "electrified
vehicle" includes mild
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), strong HEV,
Plug-in
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), and fully
electric vehicles (EV). These types of
vehicle powertrains are one technology that can potentially improve upon all of the technical goals of EcoCAR2. The stronger the electrification of a
vehicle, the better the improvement upon the competition's four main technical goals. However, with stronger electrification typically comes higher cost and increased emissions, both mostly due to the high voltage battery pack that is typically a NiMh (small capacity) or lithium chemistry. There are very few additional technologies that universally improve upon all of these criteria without causing detrimental effects on consumer acceptability.
Hybrid vehicles consist of two or more torque producing components, typically an
electric motor and a petroleum internal combustion engine. The driver interface for
hybrid vehicles, however, still only has a single accelerator pedal. There is a need for a supervisory control strategy that controls the torque output of each component. This supervisory control strategy is responsible for commanding the
vehicle drivetrain as a system to match the driver's intended torque demand, while optimizing to minimize emissions and energy consumption. This thesis outlines the
vehicle development process utilized by the University of Washington EcoCAR2 team over all three years of the EcoCAR2 competition. The UWEC2 team came up with a Parallel Through the Road (PTTR) PHEV that can operate as an EV for the first 50 miles after being charged off of the grid. This very heavy reliance on grid electricity…

▼ Renewable and green energy development is vigorously supported by most countries to suppress the continuously increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, as the total renewable capacity expands, the growth rate of emissions is not effectively restrained. An unforeseen factor contributing to this growth is the regulation service, which aims to mitigate power frequency deviations caused by the intermittent renewable power generation and unbalanced power supply and demand. Regulation services, normally issued by supply-side balancing authorities, leads to inefficient operations of regulating generators, thus directly contributing to the emissions growth. Therefore, it is urged to find solutions that can stabilize the power frequency with an increased energy using efficiency.
Demand response (DR) is an ideal candidate to solve this problem. The current smart grid infrastructure enables a high penetration of smart residential
electric loads, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVACs), air conditioners (A/Cs),
electric water heaters (EWHs), and
plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Beyond simply drawing power from the grid for local
electric demand, those loads can also adjust their power consumption patterns by responding to the control signals sent to them. It has been proved that, if appropriately aggregated and controlled, power consumption of demand-side residential loads possesses a huge potential for providing regulation services. The research of DR is pivotal from the the application perspective due to the efficient usage of renewable energy generation and the high power quality. However, many problems remain open in this area due to the load heterogeneity, device physical constraints, and computational and communication restrictions. In order to move one step further toward industry applications, this PhD thesis is concerned with two cruxes in DR program design: Aggregation Modeling and Control; it deals with two main types of terminal loads: Thermostatically Controlled Appliances (TCAs) (Chapters 2-4) and PHEVs (Chapter 5).
This thesis proceeds with Chapter 1 by reviewing the state-of-the-art of DR. Then in Chapter 2, the focus is put on modeling and control of TCAs for secondary frequency control. In order to explicitly describe local TCA dynamics and to provide the aggregator a clear global view, TCAs are aggregated by directly stacking their individual dynamics. Terminal TCAs are assumed in a general case that an arbitrary number of TCAs are equipped with varying frequency drives (VFDs). A centralized model predictive control (MPC) scheme is firstly constructed. In the design, to tackle the TCA lockout effect and to facilitate the MPC scheme, a novel approach for converting time-integrated interdependent logic constraints into inequality constraints are proposed. Since a centralized MPC scheme may introduce non-trivial computational load by using this aggregation model,…

▼ The objective of this thesis is to quantify the effects of passive thermal management achieved through augmenting thermal isolation incorporated into an electrified
vehicle???s energy storage system by design. Temperature changes within the cells are to be minimized over the typical 24 hour daily cycle when exposed to extreme ambient climates. Productionized thermal management solutions take the approach of increasing heat transfer through augmented system power to maintain cell temperatures in their operating range under demanding conditions. The intent of this work is to provide feasible design alternatives that reduce active battery thermal management requirements and thereby parasitic power losses for an electrified
vehicle by applying fundamental engineering design principles.
Considering a production intent
vehicle envelope as a packing constraint, various methods of increasing thermal isolation are explored. Techniques are evaluated based on their overall effectiveness, as well as their ability to be packaged efficiently within a production energy storage system. Consequent cost and mass increases are considered as limiting factors when presenting the design alternatives.

▼ The gasoline Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) has rapidly taken over the majority of the market share
in terms of vehicle production and sales due to its reduced emission of exhaust pollutants and increased overall
e ciency. This has augmented the importance of studying these emission levels, their behaviour and impact
under real-world conditions. This study focuses on local tailpipe emissions such as NOX, particle number
and size from a Gasoline PHEV. The study describes a Real Driving Emissions measurement of a gasoline
PHEV in a test cell and on-road using a Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS). The measurement
instruments used for this study are an AVL PEMS unit and Cambustion's DMS500 Fast Particulate Analyser.
Similar amounts of PN from test-cell testings for the PEMS and DMS were found. A particle diameter study
showed how the average size of particles emitted varies in the urban, rural and motorway sections. It has to be
noted that the test vehicle used for this study does not qualify with on-road legislation. It is also concluded
that numerous tests have to be carried out to obtain consistency and repeatability in test results to strengthen
claims about the emission behaviour. The measurement capability of instruments used also plays an imminent
role in this analysis as noticed with the test-cell data comparison between the PEMS and DMS systems.

▼ A high fidelity
vehicle model is important to predict energy consumption of
vehicle and to implement control strategies for further improvement in performance of
vehicle. The work in this thesis, describes modeling procedure for developing a high fidelity model of
plug in
hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) Chevrolet Volt Gen II using parameters provided by General Motors, is as a part of Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy (ARPA-E) group's "NEXT-Generation Energy Technologies for Connected and Automated On-Road Vehicles (NEXTCAR)'' project. Each powertrain component , namely; internal combustion engine (ICE), motor generators, battery, traction power inverter module (TPIM) and drive unit, have been developed using high fidelity parameters in MATLAB/ Simulink.
In addition to major powertrain components development process, several energy affecting components/ conditions were modeled. To enhance accuracy of energy consumption prediction of battery, a regression fit drive unit auxiliary pump model, dependent on
vehicle speed, axle torque and operating mode, was developed using experimental Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) test data. Further improvement in engine fuel energy prediction was improved by incorporating rule based fuel penalties (catalyst light-off , cold-start and cranking) that depends on three way catalyst (TWC) and engine coolant temperatures. In-
vehicle testing was carried out to accomplish this task. To predict engine coolant temperature, a lumped coolant model was developed which will be necessary for predicting cold-start fuel penalty. Catalyst thermal model was develop to predict TWC temperature.
This thesis walks through validation process of each subsystem developed with experimental ANL test data and, validated components were integrated to develop a Chevy Volt Gen II model. The developed model was validated for US06 and Highway Fuel Economy Test (HWFET) drive cycles provided ANL for both charge sustaining (CS) and charge depleting (CD) test cases. The total energy (sum of electrical and fuel energy) of developed model is well with 5 % error compared to ANL test data. Further analysis of engine transient operation, causing transient fuel penalty, has been performed which a map-based engine model is incapable to predict. Using this analysis, an engine transient fuel penalty map was developed which will make a map-based model to mimic as a dynamic engine model. Moreover, mode switch fuel penalties have been analyzed and incorporated in the model.

▼ Personal transportation has a large and increasing impact on people, society, and the environment globally. Computational energy-use simulation is becoming a key tool for automotive research and development in designing efficient, sustainable, and consumer acceptable personal transportation systems. Historically, research in personal transportation system design has not been held to the same standards as other scientific fields in that classical experimental design concepts have not been followed in practice. Instead, transportation researchers have built their analyses around available automotive simulation tools, but conventional automotive simulation tools are not well-equipped to answer system-level questions regarding transportation system design, environmental impacts, and policy analysis. The proposed work in this dissertation aims to provide a means for applying more relevant simulation and analysis tools to these system-level research questions. First, I describe the objectives and requirements of
vehicle energy-use simulation and design research, and the tools that have been used to execute this research. Next this dissertation develops a toolset for constructing system-level design studies with structured investigations and defensible hypothesis testing. The roles of experimental design, optimization, concept of operations, decision support, and uncertainty are defined for the application of automotive energy simulation and system design studies. The results of this work are a suite of computational design and analysis tools that can serve to hold automotive research to the same standard as other scientific fields while providing the tools necessary to complete defensible and objective design studies.

▼ The fuel cell
plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle (FCPHEV) has been shown to be a promising
vehicle architecture in terms of cost, emissions reduction, and reducing petroleum use. It combines a high power battery pack and a small fuel cell to make a zero emissions
vehicle with all of the capabilities of current consumer vehicles. Previous FCPHEV studies have projected
vehicle cost, emissions, and efficiency, but little work has been performed towards understanding the use, design, and functionality of the architecture. This study presents several topics which will help to advance the state of the FCPHEV.
Plug-in
hybrid vehicles, including FCPHEVs, can use two different sources of fuel depending upon how the
vehicle is driven and charged. To quantify this fuel use, SAE J2841 establishes a utility factor method based upon transportation survey data that includes assumptions about
vehicle use and battery charging habits. The utility factor model is an important tool for automakers, consumers, and researchers, and it is used by the EPA to determine the fuel economy of
plug-in
hybrid vehicles. In the Section A of this study, the utility factor model is examined and compared to data collected from over 1,400 Chevrolet Volts in order to assess its accuracy. Until now, there has been no large-scale set of
vehicle data to which the model could be compared. Results show that the assumptions of the J2841 utility factor model are not representative of the driving behavior of this set of
plug-in vehicles. A hydrogen fueled
vehicle requires a high pressure gaseous fuel storage and delivery system that is very different than the fueling systems of current conventional vehicles. The design and execution of the system is critical to the safety and functionality of an FCPHEV, but previous literature on hydrogen fueled vehicles covers fuel systems in little detail. Section B of this study details the considerations that one must make when designing a high pressure hydrogen fuel system and provides an example of how those considerations were met for the FCPHEV built by Colorado State University in the EcoCAR 2 competition. The FCPHEV built for the EcoCAR 2 competition is the first of its kind to publish real-world driving data. Data taken from the
vehicle during on-road testing is analyzed in Section C of this study to prove the FCPHEV concept and increase the understanding of overall system operation. The results of the driving tests demonstrate the viability of the FCPHEV and highlight its advantages over current zero emissions
vehicle architectures.

▼ In this dissertation, an integrated
Plug-in
Electric Vehicle (PHEV) charging loads forecasting model is developed for regular distribution level system and microgrid system. For regular distribution system, charging schedule optimization is followed up. The objectives are 1. Better cooperation with renewable energy sources (especially wind). 2. Relieving the pressure of current distribution transformers in condition of high penetration level PHEVs. As for microgrid, renewable energy power plants (wind, solar) plays a more important role than regular system. Due to the fluctuation of solar and wind plants' output, an empirical probabilistic model is developed to predict their hourly output. On the other hand, PHEVs are not only considered at the charging loads, but also the discharging output via
Vehicle to Grid (V2G) method which can greatly affect the economic dispatch for all the micro energy sources in microgrid. Optimization is performed for economic dispatch considering conventional, renewable power plants, and PHEVs. The simulation in both cases results reveal that there is a great potential for optimization of PHEVs' charging schedule. Furthermore, PHEVs with V2G capability can be an indispensable supplement in modern microgrid.

▼ Electric vehicles are quickly becoming one of the most rapidly growing technologies of this age. With their acceleration to prominence, the concept of
Vehicle to Grid (V2G) becomes much more common as well. V2G is normally used as a supplement to the power grid to shave peak load levels, as a spinning reserve, or as a supplement to renewable energy sources. These vehicles can provide many advantages to consumers and power grid operators while also benefitting the environment. This paper explores an additional application where V2G could be of great benefit. This situation is the use of a V2G capable car to provide backup electricity generating capacity to an average American-style home (in terms of power consumption). This objective is completed in coordination with the IEEE 1547 Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with
Electric Power Systems. A 2007 Toyota Prius retrofitted to function as a
Plug-In
Hybrid Vehicle is used as a baseline. The output of the system is designated to be a single phase 240 Vrms 60 Hz signal that would connect to the house grid. All steps in designing and simulating the interface are performed as well as selection of components including gate drive support systems.

▼ In early design phase for new hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrains, simulation isused for the estimation of vehicle fuel consumption. For hybrid electric powertrains,fuel consumption is highly related to powertrain efficiency. While powertrainefficiency of hybrid electric powertrain is not a linear product of efficiencies ofcomponents, it has to be analysed as a sequence of energy conversions includingcomponent losses and energy interaction among components.This thesis is aimed at studying the energy losses and flows and present them in theform of Sankey diagram, later, an adaptive energy management system is developedbased on current rule-based control strategy. The first part involves developing energycalculation block in GT-SUITE corresponding to the vehicle model, calculating allthe energy losses and flows and presenting them in Sankey diagram. The secondpart involves optimizing energy management system control parameters according todifferent representative driving cycles. The third part involves developing adaptiveenergy management system by deploying optimal control parameter based on drivingpattern recognition with the help of SVM (support vector machine).In conclusion, a sturctured way to generate the Sankey diagram has been successfullygenerated and it turns out to be an effective tool to study HEV powertrain efficiencyand fuel economy. In addition, the combination of driving pattern recognition andoptimized control parameters also show a significant potential improvement in fuelconsumption.

▼ Plug-in
electric vehicles (PEV) are any
vehicle that uses electricity to propel the
vehicle, potentially in combination with other fuels like gasoline, diesel or hydrogen. PEV offer the benefits of reduced dependence on foreign oil and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. While the benefits are numerous for this new technology, the drawbacks are not fully understood. The largest concern for the utility company is to understand the necessary infrastructure requirements to minimize their impacts on the
electric grid. This study focuses on the infrastructure needs and effects and how to best control PEV charging. The results of these analyses show the fundamental disconnect between the consumer and the utility company.

▼ As industry strives to standardize engineering design, manufacturing, and maintenance processes, the focus on achieving component modularity is increasing. Component swapping modularity (CSM) in control systems allows component change without redesign of the system level controller, while achieving the required system performance. Opportunities to achieve CSM are emerging in control systems consisting of smart components connected by bidirectional communication networks. By distributing a part of the controller into the component module, controller recalibration can be limited to only the component module when the component changes.
In this dissertation, a novel Direct Method is proposed to generate the distributed controller with CSM through a bi-level optimization. The distributed controller enables CSM and provides required system performance for each component variant. The Direct Method is applied to throttle actuator CSM design in engine idle speed control. The results demonstrate that the new Direct Method improves the CSM results compared to the previous 3-Step Method. In addition, the Direct Method permits the designer to trade off desired system performance versus achievable CSM.
The Direct Method is then applied to design a distributed supervisory controller for battery CSM in
plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles. A novel feedback based controller for the charge sustaining mode is proposed. For effective controller distribution, a method based
on sensitivity analysis of the control signals with respect to the battery hardware parameter is introduced. The bi-level optimization problem for the distributed controller gains is solved using the Augmented Lagrangian Decomposition method. The results demonstrate that battery CSM can be achieved without compromising fuel economy compared to the centralized control case.

▼ The environmental and
electric utility system impacts from plug‐in
hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)
infiltration in Michigan were examined from years 2010 to 2030 as part of the Michigan Public Service
Commission’s (MPSC) PHEV pilot project. Total fuel cycle energy consumption, greenhouse gas and
criteria air pollutant emissions for Michigan’s light duty
vehicle fleet were analyzed, as well as gasoline
displacement due to the shift to electrified travel.
PHEVs consume both liquid fuel and grid electricity for propulsion. While this fueling strategy
can significantly reduce gasoline consumption and related emissions, it is important to understand the
impacts that these PHEVs have on the electrical system and its associated emissions. A MATLAB® model
was developed to quantify the regional emissions and energy use of this interaction for Michigan.
Each year the model examined
vehicle charging behavior, PHEV sales infiltration, changes to the
electric grid, and electricity dispatch. Individual PHEV energy consumption was determined from a
database of actual
vehicle trips, and scaled to the number of on‐road PHEVs. The electricity to charge
PHEVs was added to Michigan’s baseline hourly electrical demand and new generating capacity was
added to the grid to meet renewable portfolio standards and capacity reserve mandates. Lastly,
generating assets were dispatched to serve the load, and total fuel cycle (TFC) emissions were
calculated. Several scenarios were developed to capture the range of possible outcomes examining
PHEV infiltration, charging behaviors, and future grid mixes.
In all scenarios, an increased number of PHEVs led to decreased statewide GHG emissions,
ranging from a 0.4% to 10.7% reduction in 2030, and displaced from 0.5 to 9 billion gallons of gasoline
from 2010‐2030. Depending on the scenarios employed and allocation method, The emissions intensity
of PHEV travel in 2030 ranged from 294 and 187 gCO2e per mile. Substituting nuclear generators for
some of Michigan’s predominately coal baseload power plants had a large effect on reducing emissions,
a 40% reduction in annual electricity sector GHG emissions between 2009 and 2030, and reduced PHEV
emissions intensity up to 22%. Criteria air pollutant emissions were reduced in most scenarios.
However, SOX emissions could increased with the addition of PHEVs.

▼ Plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) feature combined
electric and gasoline powertrains with internal combustion engine and
electric motors powered by battery packs. The battery packs of PHEVs are mostly charged during off-peaks hours at lower prices and meanwhile absorb the excess power from the grid. Similarly, the power stored in the batteries can also flow back to the
electric grid in response to ease the peak load demands. With the increasing penetration and integration of PHEVs, the reliability of PHEVs is essential to overall power system reliability since the charging mechanisms of PHEVs can influence the reliability of power system. Furthermore, due to the direct integration of PHEVs into the residential distribution network, the PHEVs can work as backup batteries for power systems in case of power outage. Therefore, the reliability analysis of power systems and the ancillary services provided by PHEVs are also proposed in this thesis study. For the driving pattern of each PHEV, there are three basic elements modeled, which are the departure time, the arrival time and the daily mileage, all represented by probability density functions. Based on these basic concepts, the methodology for modeling the load demand of PHEVs is introduced. In the proposed system, both the Differential Evolution and the Particle Swarm Optimization are proposed to optimize the control strategies for power systems with integration of PHEVs. Aside from using the minimum cost as a figure of merit when designing and determining the best PHEV charging mechanism, the reliability improvement brought to the power systems by PHEVs and the extra earnings obtained by performing frequency regulation services are also quantified and taken into account. Although the reliability of power systems with PHEV penetrations has been well-studied, the adoption of the Differential Evolution algorithm for minimizing the cost of overall system is not exercised, not to mention a thorough comparative study with other common optimization algorithms. To sum up, the Differential Evolution can not only achieve multiple goals by improving the power quality, reducing the peak load, providing regulation services and minimizing the total virtual cost in this system, it can also offer better results compared with the Particle Swarm Optimization in terms of minimizing the cost.

▼ The distribution network has experienced an increasing level of photovoltaics (PVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) integration in recent years. Investigating the potential influence of integrating these sources into distribution networks is difficult and requires the development of a suitable system simulation model for a grid-tied PV system with energy storage. The major objective of this thesis is modelling, control and power management of a grid-connected PV system with PHEVs as energy storage. The parameters of the PV array and Tremblay’s battery models integrated within the whole system simulation model are estimated using the parameter estimation techniques. The simulation models developed throughout the thesis are implemented in MATLAB/SimPowerSystems environment. Experimental testing of BP 380 PV modules is conducted to validate the effectiveness of the PV module model. A suitable control and charging strategy is also developed to control the charging and discharging processes of the PHEV battery.
The major novelty of the work described in the thesis lies in three aspects: (1) parameter identification of PV modules using a genetic algorithm (GA) approach to improve the accuracy of the model parameters; (2) parameter identification of Tremblay’s battery model using a novel quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) parameter estimation technique; (3) development of a charging strategy for PHEVs to optimally coordinate the power flow among the system based on the State of Charge (SOC) scenario of a day.
This thesis begins with a study of modelling approaches for a PV cell and selects the single diode model (SDM) to model the PV array. A critical review of three parameter estimation techniques for the SDM is presented. A novel GA approach to parameter estimation for the SDM is also proposed. Simulation results are presented to show the advantages of the GA approach over Villalva's iterative method [1]. Experimental testing of a BP 380 PV module is conducted to validate the effectiveness of the SDM in modelling the experimental current-voltage (I-V) and P-V characteristics. A PV array simulation model is developed using the SDM calibrated through parameter estimation.
Secondly, the thesis presents overviews of MPPT techniques, DC-DC converter topologies, and grid-tied PV inverter topologies for MPPT applications. A review of the input voltage control of DC-DC converters is presented, especially on the voltage mode control (VMC) and current mode control (CMC). This leads to the development of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. This controller is used to transform the PV array voltage tracking error into the duty cycle to control the operation of the boost converter interfacing the PV array. Four cases are developed based on whether the effect of the DC link capacitor is considered, and different linear models are selected for modelling a PV array. According to the assumptions given in the four cases, the small signal model of the boost converter is developed by adoption of…

▼ The energy company Luleå Energi wants to examine the need for public charging for electric cars in the municipality of Luleå and wants to know how to design a charging infrastructure. The aim of this project was to support the company in matters concerning charging infrastructure. The goal was to develop a recommendation on how to design a basic public infrastructure for charging electric cars in Luleå. The thesis work is based on a literature study and dialogue with various professionals with knowledge about charging infrastructure and the use of electric cars.Electric cars are mainly charged overnight in connection to the residency, or during the day at the work place. However, due to today’s vehicles' limited range, a certain public charging infrastructure is needed in order to increase the effective range. Public charging stations are also needed to allow longer trips with battery electric vehicles and to enable plug-in hybrids to be predominantly powered by electricity. Normal power recharging points can recharge an electric vehicle battery in one to six hours. These units should be positioned at well-attended parking spaces where vehicles are parked for a longer period of time, for example in the city center, at shopping centers and airports. High power recharging points will typically recharge an electric car battery in 20 to 30 minutes. These charging stations should primarily be located along freeways and highways, at fuel stations or similar facilities.The report includes recommendations for charging power, connector types and communication systems that will ensure a user-friendly charging infrastructure that is well- prepared for future needs. Normal charging stations that are established in Luleå should have fixed cables and should be equipped with Type 1 and Type 2 connectors. High power charging stations are always fitted with fixed cables and should be equipped with CHAdeMO and Combo 2 connectors. In order for users to retrieve status information through navigation systems or online map services, all charging spots should be provided with internet access.In the report a proposition is presented, that contains seven charging spots positioned with the intention of benefitting the most possible amount of users. It is concluded that, to provide a basic charging infrastructure that meets the need for existing vehicles and that encourages more drivers to choose electrically powered vehicles, between 36 and 55 new charging points are needed. This should cover the need for public charging until 2017 and maybe even until 2020 depending on the increase rate of plug-in electric vehicles.

▼ In this thesis, in order to investigate the impact of charging load from
plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), a stochastic model is developed in Matlab. In this model, two main types of PHEVs are defined: public transportation vehicles and private vehicles. Different charging time schedule, charging speed and battery capacity are considered for each type of vehicles. The simulation results reveal that there will be two load peaks (at noon and in evening) when the penetration level of PHEVs increases continuously to 30% in 2030. Therefore, optimization tool is utilized to shift load peaks. This optimization process is based on real time pricing and wind power output data. With the help of smart grid, power allocated to each
vehicle could be controlled. As a result, this optimization could fulfill the goal of shifting load peaks to valley areas where real time price is low or wind output is high.

▼ Plug-in
Hybrid Electric vehicle (PHEV) technology has the potential to reduce operational costs, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and gasoline consumption in the transportation market. However, the net benefits of using a PHEV depend critically on several aspects, such as individual travel patterns,
vehicle powertrain design and battery technology. To examine these effects, a multi-objective optimization model was developed integrating
vehicle physics simulations through a Matlab/Simulink model, battery durability, and Canadian driving survey data. Moreover, all the drivetrains are controlled implicitly by the ADVISOR powertrain simulation and analysis tool. The simulated model identifies Pareto optimal
vehicle powertrain configurations using a multi-objective Pareto front pursuing genetic algorithm by varying combinations of powertrain components and allocation of vehicles to consumers for the least operational cost, and powertrain cost under various driving assumptions. A sensitivity analysis over the foremost cost parameters is included in determining the robustness of the optimized solution of the simulated model in the presence of uncertainty. Here, a comparative study is also established between conventional and
hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to PHEVs with equivalent optimized solutions, size and performance (similar to Toyota Prius) under both the urban and highway driving environments. In addition, breakeven point analysis is carried out that indicates PHEV lifecycle cost must fall within a few percent of CVs or HEVs to become both the environmentally friendly and cost-effective transportation solutions. Finally, PHEV classes (a platform with multiple powertrain architectures) are optimized taking into account consumer diversity over various classes of light-duty
vehicle to investigate consumer-appropriate architectures and manufacturer opportunities for
vehicle fleet development utilizing simplified techno-financial analysis.

▼ Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) come in many sizes and degrees of hybridization. Mild
hybrid systems, where a simple idle stop strategy is employed, eliminate fuel use for idling. Multiple motor
hybrid systems with complex electrically continuously variable transmissions in passenger cars, SUVs and light duty trucks have large increases in fuel economy. The
plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) takes the electrification of the automobile one step further than the HEV by increasing the battery energy capacity. The additional capacity of the battery is used to propel the
vehicle without using onboard fuel energy. Commercial software of great complexity and limited availability is often used with sophisticated models to simulate powertrain operation. A simple method of evaluating technologies, component sizes, and alternative fuels is the goal of the model presented here. The objective of this paper is to define a PHEV model for use in the EcoCAR competition series. E85, gaseous hydrogen, and grid electricity are considered. The powertrain architecture selected is a series
plug-in
hybrid electric vehicle (SPHEV). The energy for charge sustaining operation is converted from fuel in an auxiliary power unit (APU). Compressed hydrogen gas is converted to electricity via the use of a fuel cell system and boost converter. For E85, the APU is an engine coupled to a generator. The results of modeling the
vehicle allow for the comparison of the new architecture to the stock
vehicle. In combination with the GREET model developed by Argonne National Lab, the multiple energy sources are compared for well to wheel energy use, petroleum energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions.

▼ Defining key parameters for a charge sustaining supervisory (torque split) control strategy as well as an engine and catalyst warm-up strategy for a Split Parallel Architecture Extended-Range
Electric Vehicle (SPA E-REV) is accomplished through empirically and experimentally measuring
vehicle tailpipe emissions and energy consumption for two distinct control strategies. The results of the experimental testing and analysis define how the
vehicle reduces fuel consumption, petroleum energy use and greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining low tailpipe emissions. For a SPA E-REV operating in charge sustaining mode with the engine providing net propulsive energy, simply operating the engine in regions of highest efficiency does not equate to the most efficient operation of the
vehicle as a system and can have adverse effects on tailpipe emissions. Engine and catalyst warm-up during the transition from all-
electric charge depleting to engine-dominant charge sustaining modes is experimentally analyzed to evaluate tailpipe emissions. The results presented are meant to define key parameters for a high-level torque-split strategy and to provide an understanding of the tradeoffs between low energy consumption and low tailpipe emissions.
The literature review gives a background of
hybrid and
plug-in
hybrid vehicle control publications including tailpipe emissions studies, but does not include experimental results and comparisons of supervisory strategies designed for low fuel consumption and low tailpipe emissions the SPA E-REV architecture. This paper details the high-level control strategy chosen for balancing low energy consumption and low tailpipe emissions while the engine is operating.
Vehicle testing data from a chassis dynamometer is presented in support of the research.
