Author: Technologies and Applications for Smart Charging of Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles
Author: Ottorino VeneriPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319436511
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
This book outlines issues related to massive integration of electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles into power grids. Electricity is becoming the preferred energy vector for the next new generation of road vehicles. It is widely acknowledged that road vehicles based on full electric or hybrid drives can mitigate problems related to fossil fuel dependence. This book explains the emerging and understanding of storage systems for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The recharging stations for these types of vehicles might represent a great advantage for the electric grid by facilitating integration of renewable and distributed energy production. This book presents a broad review from analyzing current literature to on-going research projects about the new power technologies related to the various charging architectures for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Specifically focusing on DC fast charging operations, as well as, grid-connected power converters and the full range of energy storage systems. These key components are analyzed for distributed generation and charging system integration into micro-grids. The authors demonstrate that these storage systems represent effective interfaces for the control and management of renewable and sustainable distributed energy resources. New standards and applications are emerging from micro-grid pilot projects around the world and case studies demonstrate the convenience and feasibility of distributed energy management. The material in this unique volume discusses potential avenues for further research toward achieving more reliable, more secure and cleaner energy.

Pages : 236
Book Description
"In Wiring Vietnam: The Electronic Wall, Anthony Tambini describes every aspect of this surveillance, from the sensors used to detect seismic signals from nearby troop and vehicle movements to audio sensors deployed to pick up conversations of both troops and traffic noise of vehicles to engine ignition detectors. Beginning with the conception, development, and implementation of these devices, Tambini then explains how the various signals collected by the sensors were transmitted to orbiting aircraft that processed and retransmitted the signals to a U.S. base in Thailand. There, the data underwent further analysis to identify targets that could be attacked from the air."--BOOK JACKET.
