This paper describes system definition of the extended range EV and presents cruising strategy of EV mode and ER mode. Also high voltage battery strategic SOC could be indicated and compared depends on various generator working cycles. A C-segment SUV has been produced and carried out cruising test in order to validate on highway, city and hill climbing road. This paper shows advantages and disadvantages of SOC variation on each road environments and presents the strategies as the cruising test results. On the basis of the test result, this paper suggests future works and research directions for strategy of battery management to extended range EV.

In this paper, the ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) method of Electric Vehicle using sliding mode controller is proposed. The IPMSM is safely controlled as safe distance using distance sensor at front of vehicle. The speed of EV is controlled to ensure safe distance using sliding mode controller. The sliding mode controller is suitable to apply nonlinear system like EV. In this paper, IPMSM speed control ability is verified by simulation using PSIM.

BMS(Battery Management System) in EV system(Electric Vehicle) senses voltage, temperature and the charging or discharging current of batteries. The main roles of BMS are to estimate SOC(State OF Charge) of batteries and optimally monitor them according to the operation state of EV system which is motoring mode or charging mode. In this paper, we propose the proper algorithm about BMS's roles and operation which is suitable to EV system and illustrate validity and effectiveness through the experiments which were performed in the condition of Vehicle road test and charging test.

In this paper, powertrain of output split type plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is analyzed for the operation range of speed, torque, and power. First, it is assumed that the efficiency of motor is 100%. And, the speed and torque equations are derived based on the lever analogy. With the above equations, the simulations are performed for the powertrain of output split type plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. From the simulation results, it is found that the output torques of EV1 and series modes are larger than the EV2 and power split modes' ones. It means the EV1 and series modes can be used for the rapid acceleration. But the EV1 and series modes can be used only the velocity of under the 120 km/h. It is because the motor reaches its maximum speed when the velocity is over the 120 km/h for the EV1 and series modes. When the engine is turned on, the engine power is transmitted through the two motors. But, the power split mode shows the power split of engine at the output shaft, and it has the point of zero motor power. Thus, the transmission efficiency of the power split mode can be higher than the series mode's one, it the motor efficiency is considered.

Utilization of Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been growing popularity in recent years due to increment in fuel price and lack of natural resources. Random unexpected charging by home EV charger in distribution is predicted in the future. The power quality problems such as fluctuation of power factor in a residential distribution network was explored with random EV chargers. This paper proposes a high-performance nonlinear sliding mode controller (SMC) for an EV charging system to compensate voltage distortions and to enhance the power factor against the unbalanced EV chargers. For the verification of the proposed scheme, MATLAB-Simulink simulations are performed on 22.9-kV grid. The results show that the proposed scheme can improve the power factor of a smart grid due to the EV chargers on the grid.

This research report cuts across management sciences (market strategy entry mode development) and innovative technology (Electric Vehicle (EV)) alongside measures to submerge global warming. The development of a successful entry mode for the electric Vehicle into the African continent is the main objective of the study. The study focuses on an analysis of how electric car manufacturers can enter the African market in other to achieve global sustainability and social responsibility. The methodology is based on identifying the factors that affect the choice of an entry mode into international markets by multinational companies desiring to leverage their revenue through a foreign market. It also offered a quantitative approach that can support the economic and sustainability entry mode model for EVs and a qualitative approach of Porter's five forces analysis as an entry mode coaching tool for EVs. These proxies are used in quite a wide range of multivariate statistical methods (trend analysis, ratio, and probability, comparative t-test technique, auto-regression, and ordinary least square technique). The result acknowledges joint venture and setting of the plant (physical presents) as the optimal entry mode in African EV market. It requires the EV manufacturers a tire-free emission innovation technology in order to optimize the global sustainability initiative.

An electrical vehicle (EV) is a huge issue in the automotive industry. The EV have many electrical units: electric motors, batteries, converters, ets. The DC power distribution system (PDS) is essential for the EV. The DC PDS offers many advantages. However, multiple loads in the DC PDS may affect the severe instability on the DC bus voltage. Therefore, a voltage bus conditioner (VBC) may use the DC PDS. The VBC is used to mitigate the voltage transient on the bus. In this paper, sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed for the VBC of DC PDS in the EV. The simulation results by PISM simulation package are presented for validating the proposed control technique.

The purpose of this study is to present the EV range in HDRI acquisition process to create luminance map. The proposed method in this study is to capture the scene at EV ${\pm}0$ that is the longest exposure points and reference point in the scene. With this reference point, sets of 25 LDRI test case were taken manually at ${\pm}2$ EV using the aperture-priority manual mode. The 25 HDRIs were created using Adobe Photoshop. The HDRIs were then imported Radiance lighting simulation program to be analyzed into falsecolor. The analysis results of the 25 HDRIs test case are 50[%] of the all tested case have a margin of error of 10[%]. In case of f/5.6, the luminance map generated with HDRI were similar to the spot luminance meter. As a result, the EV range to reduce error of luminance map generated with HDRI is EV $+2{\sim}{\pm}0{\sim}-10$.

The brushless DC motor (BLDCM) has many advantages. As a result, it is widely used in electric vehicle (EV) drive systems. To improve the reliability of the motor control system, a position sensorless control strategy based on a sliding mode observer (SMO) is proposed. The global fast terminal sliding mode observer (GFTSMO) is proposed to enhance the control performance of the SMO control system. The advantages of the linear sliding mode and the nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) are combined in the control strategy. The convergence speed of the system state is enhanced. The motor commutation point is obtained with the observation of the back EMF, and the instantaneous torque value of the motor is calculated. Therefore, the position sensorless control of the BLDCM is realized. Experimental results show that the proposed control strategy can improve the convergence speed, dynamic characteristics and robustness of the system.
