Intelligent Electric Vehicle Charging Controller
Cardoso, Filipe; Rosado, J.; Silva, Marco; Teixeira, C. J. Coelho; Agreira, C. I. Faustino; Caldeira, Filipe; Baptista, Pedro; Barreto, FranciscoFor domestic consumers, electricity tariffs usually have two components: one is related to the maximum available current/total power (billed in C/day) and the other concerns to the energy consumption (C/kWh). The main switchboard current is usually limited, according to the contracted power level, by way of automatic switches. To avoid main switchboard tripping by current limit violation, Electric Vehicle (EV) ...

Gonçalves Cardoso, Filipe; Rosado, J.; Silva, Marco; Teixeira, C. J. Coelho; Agreira, C. I. Faustino; Caldeira, Filipe; Baptista, PedroAbstract—For domestic consumers, electricity tariffs usually have two components: one is related to the maximum available current/total power (billed in C/day) and the other concerns to the energy consumption (C/kWh). The main switchboard current is usually limited, according to the contracted power level, by way of automatic switches. To avoid main switchboard tripping by current limit violation, Electric Vehi...
Comparative Study of Different Energy Management Strategies for Dual-Source Ele...
Trovão, João P.; Santos, Victor; Pereirinha, Paulo G.; Jorge, Humberto M.; Antunes, Carlos HenggelerThis paper presents a comparative analysis between a pure battery electric vehicle and a dual-source electric vehicle endowed with a multi-level energy management strategy. The energy management of multi-source electric vehicles is a crucial aspect to obtain an effective contribution of the power sources, namely one with high specific energy and another with high specific power. This issue is particularly relev...
Design Methodology of Energy Storage Systems for a Small Electric Vehicle
Trovão, João P.; Pereirinha, Paulo G.; Jorge, Humberto M.With the current state of technological development, the future of Electric Vehicles (EVs) seems to go through the hybridization of various Energy Storage Systems (ESSs). This strategy seeks to benefit from the best qualities of each available energy source, and is especially useful in urban driving. In this work, the need for multiple energy sources hybridization is addressed. A methodology to optimize the siz...
