Electric Vehicles: The Benefits and Barriers - Seref Soylu, 240 Pages
- In this book, theoretical basis and design guidelines for electric vehicles have been emphasized chapter by chapter with valuable contribution of many researchers who work on both technical and regulatory sides of the field. Multidisciplinary research results from electrical engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering were examined and merged together to make this book a guide for industry, academia and policy maker.
- Internal combustion engines have experienced an enjoyed monopoly for almost a century as power sources of road transport vehicles. But, in the same period, vehicle ownership and mileages increased to a level that the resulting petroleum based fuel consumption, urban air pollutants and green house gas emissions (the challenging triad) have became great concern especially for past a few decades. There have been several regulations issued to be remedy for the challenging triad, but even in the most developed countries, the challenging triad has been still one of the biggest threats for sustainable transport and development of urban agglomerations. Development in internal combustion engines and their fuels was very fast in the early decades of the 20th century, but today internal combustion engines are at their mature levels that any further development to increase engine efficiency and minimize the emissions is expected to be very little if ever possible. Any improvement in engine and fuel technology for better efficiency and emissions either increases the cost to uncompetitive levels or brings additional environmental problems when especially considering life cycle of the engines and fuels. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, are becoming promising alternatives to be remedy for the challenging triad and sustainable transport as they use centrally generated electricity as a power source. It is well known that power generation at centralized plant is much more efficient and its emissions can be controlled much easier than those emitted from internal combustion engines that scattered all over the world. Additionally, an electric vehicle can convert the vehicle’s kinetic energy to electrical energy and store it during braking and coasting. All these benefits of electrical vehicles are starting to justify, a century later, attention of industry, academia and policy makers again as promising alternatives for urban transport. Nowadays, industry and academia are striving to overcome the challenging barriers that block widespread use of electric vehicles. Lifetime, energy density and power density, weight, cost of battery packs are major barriers to overcome. In this sense there is growing demand for knowledge to overcome the barriers and optimize the components and energy management system of electrical vehicles.
