A legacy electric power distribution system is characterized by a unidirectional power flow from centralized power plants to customers. The role of these customers has been known for many years as power consumers and not ...

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 ...

The motivation of this thesis was to formulate clear design guidelines for fabrication and control of an efficient series-series resonant inductive power transfer (SS-RIPT) system for electric vehicle battery charging ...

The electric power distribution system is experiencing significant operational changes due to the integration of plug-in electric vehicles and intermittent distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar photovoltaics. ...

Solar energy has been the most popular sources of renewable energy for residential and semi-commercial applications. Solar energy sources alone cannot be used to charge an electric vehicle (EV). Solar/Grid interconnected ...

The inductive link in wireless power transfer (WPT) fed by various high–frequency power converters is widely accepted for medium power (<50 kW) and medium power transfer distance (100 mm-200 mm) applications due to remarkable ...
