ADVANCED VEHICLE SIMULATOR (ADVISOR) PERFORMANCE CHARACTERIZATION OF A SERIES HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Abstract: Series hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) formed by a combination of internal combustion engine and batteries/ultra capacitors in the appropriate ways, provides high-performance and high efficiency power systems for HEV applications. This paper discusses the performance characteristics of series HEV using advanced vehicle simulator. Different sizes of motor and engine were utilized with various battery capacities to explore the optimal component combinations. A comparative simulation was...
Adequate Power System Planning: A Necessity for an Improved Power System in Nigeria
ABSTRACT-Power system planning is a vast and important issue for operation and expansion of power delivery. One of the basic objectives of planning is to determine the right schedule for investment in new devices which ensures secure and economic power delivery for predicted customer demand. System planning also addresses the question of reliable and stable operation; hence reliability and stability analysis are also included in adequate power system planning studies. This work explores the a...
