This paper describes the development process and results of a battery system model with a fault simulation for electric … propulsion vehicles. The developed battery system model can be used to verify control and fault diagnosis strategies of the … supervisory controller in an electric propulsion vehicle. To develop this battery system model, three sub-models, including a …

In this paper we propose an equilibrium model for the housing market which provides an explanation for observed housing consumption of households over their lifetimes. The moving behavior of households is described as a stochastic dynamic process in which households' moving decisions depend on...
