Journal ArticleDOI
Conception of an electric propulsion system for a 9 kW electric tractor suitable for family farming
Rodnei Regis de Melo,Fernando L. M. Antunes,Sérgio Daher,Hans Heinrich Vogt,Daniel Albiero,Fernando Lessa Tofoli +5 more
TL;DR: Experimental results are presented, demonstrating that the proposed electric tractor is technically feasible in terms of performance when compared with a similar internal combustion engine one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleaved bidirectional DC–DC converter for electric vehicle applications based on multiple energy storage devices
TL;DR: High power density, low component count and increased robustness can be stated as the main advantages of the proposed approach, which can be considered as a viable alternative for practical EV applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric tractor system for family farming: Increased autonomy and economic feasibility for an energy transition
Hans Heinrich Vogt,Rodnei Regis de Melo,Sérgio Daher,Benedikt Schmuelling,Fernando L. M. Antunes,Priscila Alves dos Santos,Daniel Albiero +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a small-size electric farming tractor's feasibility for family farming to do energy transition between fossil energy for electrical energy, where the main parameter of system optimization was the autonomy of work and this challenge was overcome through innovative planning and management of batteries in various operational configurations of energy transmission.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Bidirectional interleaved dc-dc converter for supercapacitor-based energy storage systems applied to microgrids and electric vehicles
TL;DR: This paper presents a survey on supercapacitors and their application as power supply in microgrids (MGs) and electric vehicles (EVs), and the main topologies adequate for this purpose are discussed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wheel Slip Control Applied to an Electric Tractor for Improving Tractive Efficiency and Reducing Energy Consumption
TL;DR: In this paper , an automatic slip control solution applied to a two-wheel-drive (2WD) electric tractor is presented, where the slip can be maintained within a specific range that depends on the type of soil.
