TL;DR: In this paper, the theory behind the proposed balancing methods for battery systems within the past twenty years is presented and comparison between the methods is carried out and different balancing methods are grouped by their nature of balancing.

TL;DR: A series of well-defined electric vehicle loads are established that are subsequently used to analyze their electrical energy usage and storage in the context of more electrified road transportation and applied to a European Union residential load profile to evaluate the impact of increasing electrification of private road vehicles on local loads and the potential for vehicle and residential load integration in the U.K.

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved analytical model for predicting the rotor eddy current loss in brushless machines equipped with surface-mounted permanent magnets is presented, which is formulated in polar co-ordinates and based on the calculation of the two-dimensional electromagnetic field in the air gap/magnet regions, with due account of the Eddy current reaction field.

TL;DR: A new family of SRMs which have higher number of rotor poles than stator poles is presented, using a newly defined pole design formula, and several novel combinations of the stator-rotor poles have been proposed.

TL;DR: The preliminary research and implementation of a fuzzy logic based controller to control the wheel slip for electric vehicle antilock braking systems (ABSs) indicate that ABS/traction control may substantially improve longitudinal performance and offer significant potential for optimal control of driven wheels, especially under icy conditions.
