In this paper, an energy management strategy is proposed for a series plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. A number of quadratic equations are employed to determine the engine fuel-rate with respect to battery power. The problem is solved by using quadratic programming and simulated annealing method...

In this work, the commercially available diesel fuel (Bu00), butanol(20%)–diesel(80%) (by vol.) (Bu20), butanol(30%)–diesel(70%) (Bu30), and butanol(40%)–diesel (60%) (Bu40) fuels were tested. Experiments were conducted on a high-speed direct injection (DI) diesel engine for passenger-car...

With the rapid development of EVs (electric vehicles), the integration of PV (photovoltaic) generation with EV charging infrastructure can effectively improve the efficiency of clean energy utilization and carbon emission reduction. How to optimize the capacities of components in the PV-based...
