This paper is focused on the performance of a solar-assisted DC refrigerator installed on the backside of the electric vehicle (EV). The experiments are performed by varying load conditions inside the refrigerator. The experimental setup consists of four solar PV panels, a charge controller, battery bank, voltage converter, DC refrigerator, and an electric vehicle. The temperature inside the refrigerator cabin was controlled with the thermostat position adjustment. The solar PV panels of the vehicle was generating 2.5-4 kWh energy on the average sunny day. The refrigerator's inside temperature was decreased with a faster rate at the third thermostat position and consuming higher energy at the seventh thermostat position among all load conditions. The fourth and fifth thermostat positions were better at maintaining the lower desired temperature inside the refrigerator cabin by consuming the minimum energy. The COP of the refrigerator was decreasing with the increasing compressor speed. The battery bank was able to run the refrigerator 240 hr, 96 hr, 72 hr for the no-load, 15 L load, and 25 L load conditions at the higher thermostat position. The vehicle was travelling 68.3 km, 65.3.6 km, 63.4 km distance in no-load, 100 kg, and 200 kg load conditions respectively by consuming 3010 Wh, 3230 Wh, and 3450 Wh energy. The travelling charge of this vehicle was 1-1.5 INR per kilometer

Mobility has been changing precipitously in recent years. With the increasing number of electric vehicles (EV), travel-sharing continues to grow, and ultimately, autonomous vehicles (AV) move into municipal fleets. These changes require a new, distributed, digitalised energy system, maintenance, and growing electrification in transportation. This paper proposes the designing of an Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) by using hybrid energy sources such as solar PV, wind, and diesel generator. The proposed system is mathematically modelled and designed using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER). The system is analysed and assessed in both autonomous mode and grid-connected mode of operation. The optimum sizing, energy yields of the system in each case is elaborated, and the best configuration is found for design. The variations in Levelized Cost Of the Energy (LCOE), Net Present Cost (NPC), initial cost, and operating cost of the various configuration are presented. From the results, it is observed that the grid-connected EVCS is more economical than the autonomous EVCS. Further, a sensitivity analysis of the EVCS is also performed.

Most refrigerating systems are driven by an internal combustion engine that increased the conventional vehicle's oil consumption and tailpipe emissions. The solar-assisted refrigerating electric vehicle (SAREV) system powered by a hybrid energy mode has been designed. The hybrid energy (solar + grid) was stored in the battery bank to complete this vehicle's necessary functions. The PV panels are prominently incorporated into this vehicle rooftop to charge the battery bank. In this study, the integrated system was driven by a hybrid energy mode that reducing the wastage and deterioration during temporary storage and transportation in different areas. The performance of the integrated system was tested under different operating conditions. The effect of load variation on maximum speed and travelling distance of vehicle was analyzed. The battery bank charging and discharge performance were studied with and without solar energy. The refrigerator was consuming 116 Wh energy per day to maintain a -12 oC lower temperature on the no-load condition at the higher thermostat position. The refrigerator was run continuously for 4-6 days on battery bank energy and 7-10 days on the full load condition of hybrid energy. The vehicle was travelling at a maximum of 23 km/h speed on full load condition. The vehicle needed torque 14-16 N-m at the initial phase for each load condition. Torque demand was decreasing with the increasing speed of the vehicle. The full-charged battery bank's initial voltage was 51.04 V, and the cut-off voltage was 46.51 V. The vehicle was covering a distance of 62.4 km with the battery bank alone at full load condition. It was travelling 68.3 km distance with hybrid energy mode. The vehicle's integrated system was the best in maintaining battery performance, power contribution capability, and drive range enhancement.

In this paper, a coordination method of multiple electric vehicle (EV) aggregators has been devised to flatten the system load profile. The proposed scheme tends to reduce the peak demand by discharging EVs and fills the valley gap through EV charging in the off-peak period. Upper level fair proportional power distribution to the EV aggregators is exercised by the system operator which provides coordination among the aggregators based on their aggregated energy demand or capacity. The lower level min max objective function is implemented at each aggregator to distribute power to the EVs. Each aggregator ensures that the EV customers’ driving requirements are not relinquished in spite of their employment to support the grid. The scheme has been tested on IEEE 13-node distribution system and an actual distribution system situated in Seoul, Republic of Korea whilst utilizing actual EV mobility data. The results show that the system load profile is smoothed by the coordination of aggregators under peak shaving and valley filling goals. Also, the EVs are fully charged before departure while maintaining a minimum energy for emergency travel.

This contribution outlines the design of electric vehicle direct-current (DC) bus control system supplied by a battery/ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage system, and its coordination with the fully electrified vehicle driveline control system. The control strategy features an upper-level DC bus voltage feedback controller and a direct load compensator for stiff tracking of variable (speed-dependent) voltage target. The inner control level, comprising dedicated battery and ultracapacitor current controllers, is commanded by an intermediate-level control scheme which dynamically distributes the upper-level current command between the ultracapacitor and the battery energy storage systems. The feedback control system is designed and analytical expressions for feedback controller parameters are obtained by using the damping optimum criterion. The proposed methodology is verified by means of simulations and experimentally for different realistic operating regimes, including electric vehicle DC bus load step change, hybrid energy storage system charging/discharging, and electric vehicle driveline subject to New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), Urban Driving Dynamometer Schedule (UDDS), New York Certification Cycle (NYCC) and California Unified Cycle (LA92), as well as for abrupt acceleration/deceleration regimes.
