EBOOK - Modern Electric Vehicle Technology (C.C. Chan & K.T. Chau)

We have now entered into the 21st Century. In a world where energy conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development are growing concerns, the development of electric vehicle (EV) technology has taken on an accelerated pace.
The dream of having commercially viable EVs is becoming a reality. This book is published after celebrating the  30th Anniversary of the Interna- tional Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS) and the  10th Anniversary of the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA), as well as at dawn of commercialization of electric/hybrid vehicles. In these activities, the  first author has deeply involved.

We hope this book reflects the  recent  development of electric/hybrid vehicles, contributes to the  advancement of electric/hybrid vehicle technology and pro- motes the commercialization of electric/hybrid vehicles-clean,  efficient and intel- ligent transportation means for the 21 st Century.
Electric vehicle technology is the happy marriage of mechanical/chemical and electrical/electronic laws  which operate in  perfect harmony. This book covers multidisciplinary aspects of  EVs, and is written for  a wide coverage of readers including students,  researchers, engineers and administrators. It is organized in such a way that it provides maximum flexibility without any loss of continuity
from one chapter to another. We believe that this approach would facilitate the readers to select reading  those chapters that are most interesting to them. The suggestion for reading is as follows:
0 Electrical engineering students taking a 35- to 45-h course dedicated to Electric Vehicle Technology may be interested in all chapters.

- Researchers in the field of EVs, EV technology or automotive engineering may be more interested in Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
- Researchers  in  the field of chemical engineering may be more interested in Chapters 6 and 7.
- Researchers  in  the field of computer  engineering may be more interested  in Chapter 8.
- Researchers  in  the field  of power  engineering  may be more  interested in Chapter 9.
- Researchers in the field of environmental sciences may be more  interested in Chapter 10.
- Practising  engineers for EVs and automobiles  may be more  interested in Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9.
- Administrators relating to EVs, hybrid EVs (HEVs), energy conservation, environmental protection and sustainable businesses may be more interested in Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10.
- General readers may be interested in any chapters.

Chapters 1 and 2 are written to review the important of engineering philosophy and fundamental concepts of EV technology, then to summarize the development of EVs. Chapter 1 gives an overview on the past, present and future of EVs, and reveals the essential engineering philosophy of EVs, which is the guiding ideology of the whole book. Then, Chapter 2 briefly describes the development of both EVs and HEVs, and hence identifies the state-of-the-art EVs and HEVs.
Chapters 3 and 4 present the system configurations of modern EVs and HEVs. New concepts and classifications of both EVs and HEVs are revealed. Chapter 3 includes the variations in EV configurations due to fixed and variable  gearing, single- and multiple-motor drives and in-wheel drives. Some unique EV para- meters are also discussed. Chapter 4 includes the variations in HEV configurations and the corresponding power flow control.
Chapters 5, 6 and 7 are core chapters of this book. These three chapters are essentially in technical nature. Chapter 5 is devoted to present electric propulsion systems for modern EVs. It involves in-depth  discussions of dc motor drives, induction motor drives, permanent-magnet motor drives and switched reluctance motor drives for electric propulsion. Chapter 6 presents different types of energy
sources for EVs, including batteries, fuel cells, ultracapacitors and ultrahigh-speed flywheels. Their  operating  principles, unique  features and potentialities are dis- cussed and evaluated. Also, a new concept on the hybridization of multiple energy sources is revealed to solve the  problems due to the use of sole energy source. Chapter 7 discusses various  auxiliaries for modern EVs, including battery char- gers, battery indicators, energy management systems, temperature control units, power  steering units,  auxiliary power  supplies, navigation systems and regener- ative braking systems.
Chapter 8 delineates the concept of system level simulation for EVs, hence the development of a dedicated EV simulator. Based on the EV simulator, the deduc- tions of optimal transmission ratio, optimal system voltage and optimal hybrid- ization ratio are exemplified. Furthermore, a case study on the implementation of electric light buses is given.
Chapters 9 and 10 deal with the commercialization and implementation of EVs. Chapter 9 discusses the most essential factor, EV infrastructure, for the commer- cialization and popularisation of EVs. It includes the  discussions on domestic charging infrastructure, public charging infrastructure, standardization and regulations, training and promotion as well as various impacts on the power system.
Chapter 10 presents the energy, environment and economy (EEE) benefits result- ing from the implementation of EVs.
