Dynamics and Model-Predictive Anti-Jerk Control of Connected Electric Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-14)Electric Vehicles (EVs) develop high torque at low speeds, resulting in a high rate of acceleration. However, the rapid rise in torque of an electric motor creates undesired torsional oscillations, with vehicle jerk arising ... -
Enhancing System Reliability Utilizing Private Electric Vehicle Parking Lots Accounting for the Uncertainties of Renewables
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-19)Integration of renewable energy sources into electric grids comes with significant challenges. The produced energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar is intermittent, non-dispatchable and uncertain. The uncertainty ... -
Impact of High Fidelity Battery Models for Vehicle Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-14)Automotive battery models, compared with personal electronics, are more complex as they experience a larger range of current discharge/charge rates. Electronics have a constant power demand, and thus a constant current is ... -
Optimal Routing in Battery-Powered Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-25)The increased interest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions has motivated renewed interest in electric vehicles technology as an alternative to current fossil-fuel based transportation equipment. Electric vehicles (EVs) ... -
Reconfigurable Integrated Control for Urban Vehicles with Different Types of Control Actuation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-08)Urban vehicles are designed to deal with traffic problems, air pollution, energy consumption, and parking limitations in large cities. They are smaller and narrower than conventional vehicles, and thus more susceptible to ...
