International Journal of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles (IJEHV)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Regenerative brake control strategy based on electro-hydraulic brake system   Order a copy of this article
    by Qiping Chen, Bowen Wang, Lu Ouyang, Haoyu Sun, Qiang Shu, Zhiqiang Jiang 
    Abstract: In order to enhance the energy recovery efficiency of vehicle braking and reduce energy consumption, this paper proposes a braking assist method for regenerative braking systems and a braking distribution strategy based on equivalent braking deceleration. Lastly, the integration of the proposed regenerative braking control algorithm with a line-controlled hydraulic braking system was implemented on a prototype electric micro-bus. Experimental tests were conducted on a hub-turning test bench under typical urban bus cycle conditions in China. The experimental results indicate that the control strategy proposed in this paper achieved a maximum braking energy recovery rate of 23.05% and a minimum energy consumption of 31.45(kwh) per 100 kilometers under a single typical urban bus cycle in China. These results meet practical engineering requirements. This control method holds significant theoretical and practical engineering application value.

  • Bidirectional electric vehicle charging system based on Z-source converters and related PWM control system   Order a copy of this article
    by Mahmoud Hatami, Mohammad Sarvi 
    Abstract: The growing population and the increase of internal combustion engines (ICE) in large cities contribute to rising pollution, which directly impacts the health of society. However, advancements in science have led to significant progress in developing electric transportation and vehicles as a viable solution. The development of EVs faces challenges such as limited range, battery technology, energy storage systems with high density, topology, optimal charging systems, etc. The progress of power electronics science and the presentation of new DC-DC converters have significantly impacted EV charging systems. This paper presents a charging system based on z-source converters, a primary rectifier converter, and an active power filter. In this system, according to the proposed converter at the DC stage, the problem of voltage fluctuations and output current of traditional inverters has been solved, and we will have a stable charging system. This function will lead to improved system efficiency. The presented system minimizes power fluctuations and thus reduces THD.
    Keywords: electric vehicle; battery charger; power electronic converter; Z-source converter; DC-DC converter.
