The range-extended electric vehicle is proposed to improve the range anxiety drivers have of electric vehicles. Conventionally, a gasoline/diesel generator increases the range of an electric vehicle. Due to the zero-CO2 emission stipulations, utilizing fuel cells as generators raises concerns in society. This paper presents a novel charging strategy for fuel cell/battery electric vehicles. In comparison to the conventional switch control, a fuzzy control approach is employed to enhance the battery's state of charge (SOC). This approach improves the quick loss problem of the system's SOC and thus can achieve an extended driving range. Smooth steering experience and range extension are the main indexes for development of fuzzy rules, which are mainly based on the energy management in the urban driving model. Evaluation of the entire control system is performed by simulation, which demonstrates its effectiveness and feasibility.

Rechargeable batteries are central to modern energy storage systems, from portable electronics to electric vehicles. The cathode material, a critical component, largely dictates a battery's energy density, capacity, and overall performance. This review focuses on the application of operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to study cathode materials in Li-ion, Na-ion, Li-S, and Na-S batteries.

This work examines the impact of the electrification of the Holon-Bat Yam passenger train line (central Israel) on air pollutant concentrations using data collected from air quality monitoring stations that operated at the train stations across the electrified train line. We present statistically significant reduction in the annual average NO, NO and NO concentrations (29-45%, 79-85% and 65-75%, respectively), attributed to the electrification of the passenger train line. The drop in the NO and NO concentrations was much stronger than in the NO concentrations, since NO is the main nitrogen species emitted by diesel locomotives.

Flapping wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) are recognized for their significant potential in military and civilian applications, such as military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and disaster rescue. However, the lack of takeoff and landing capabilities, particularly in landing behavior, greatly limits their adaptability to the environment during tasks. In this paper, the purple stem beetle (), a natural flying insect, was chosen as the bionic research object.

As global interest grows in renewable energy sources, the impact of combined Electric Vehicle (EV) and PhotoVoltaic (PV) penetration on the power grid stability requires renewed attention, to incorporate new technologies to maintain the power quality under operational constraints. Energy-saving techniques such as Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) allow the power utilities to transmit voltage at a lower operation limit, increasing the generation margin to absorb the peak load demands. Increased reverse PV penetration results in grid overvoltage while EV charging absorbs the reactive power causing grid instability.

The voltage is one of limited reliable information for battery management system, and the faults of voltage sampling will result in adverse effects and lead to potential risks for operation, which emphasize the importance for investigating the failure modes of voltage sampling and diagnosis algorithm. In this article, a knowledge-data driven sampling diagnosis algorithm is established and an online intelligent diagnosis algorithm is proposed accordingly based on outlier detection with fuzzy entropy. The fault diagnosis algorithm is established and evaluated under positive exploitation, where the knowledge-base of failure mode based on equivalent simulating models is firstly constructed.
