So far in the Twenty-first century the field of people transportation has had numerous setbacks, of these some are related to air pollution and some to the rarefaction of petroleum sources. Studies have been undertaken within this domain for many years now ...
Scooters are a well-established transport system for short distances – particularly within cities. Currently, the majority of scooters are petrol powered. Their engines typically exhibit bad efficiencies and thus contribute to global warming by CO2 product ...
Development of unmanned aerial vehicle has attracted attention of several agencies and university laboratories over the past decade, due to their great potential in military and civilian applications. There are a dozen of commercial autopilots which combin ...
After their theoretical development in the early 1990s, Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) have been applied in restructured US electricity markets for about a decade now. Lately, FTRs have also been proposed as a potential feature of the emerging Europe ...
A new feeding concept for electrical transportation system is presented, based on supercapacitative energy storage. Supercapacitors are new and poewrful components for energy storage. Compared with batteries, the amount of energy supercapacitors can store ...
Supercapacitors are components for energy storage, well dedicated for applications where energy storage can help to the smoothing of strong and short time power solicitations of a distribution network. Those properties are developed for two examples. The f ...
Electric vehicles are mainly fed directly from batteries, where the high power solicitation represents a well-known problem with its relation to efficiency and life cycle of batteries. The paper presents experimentation and study of a solution with power a ...
This paper presents the study and experimentation of a hybrid energy storage system based on Compressed Air, where the storage and discharge are done within maximum efficiency conditions for the volumetric machine. As these maximum efficiency conditions im ...
An increasing recourse to renewable energies is one of the key solutions to address the current resource and environmental concerns related to the world energy supply. Because of the distributed and intermittent nature of several of them (Solar, Wind), an ...
A new methodology is presented, based on energy-flow analysis on systems. The aim is to obtain a representation of energy flows between the various sources of a complex system, via energy storage devices connected together with electrical and mechanical co ...
