All Rights Reserved Page 2 of 44 EDISON Deliverable 1.1 WP1.1 Electric Vehicle Technology 1 DISCLAIMER This is the report from work package 1.1 of the EDISON project. The work has been carried out as a combination of literature studies, surveys involving key industry personnel and contributions from own participation in international working groups. The short description of the EDISON project is “Electric vehicle meets grid”. The EDISON project develops the technical solutions that facilitates larger shares of renewable energy in the power system, and at the same time makes sure that distribution grids are not over loaded. Open standards and information- & communication technology are key topics in the project. The focus of this report has been to gather information on EV technology which is relevant for the other work packages in the EDISON consortium. Hence, the report deals with EV topics which are relevant for the power system. 2 ELECTRICAL VEHICLES A wide range of car manufacturers have started EV development programs. The products range from electric scooters and quadra cycles to high performance sports cars and medium sized lorries. 2.1 OVERVIEW OF EXPECTED CARS In appendix 1 several links to overviews of EVs that are on the Danish and international market today and future EVs can be found. 2.2 ENERGY CONSUMPTION In March 2009 Energinet.dk and the regional transmission companies made a report on the future transmission grid in Denmark 1. The assumptions for the work can be found in the appendix to the report. In appendix, it can be seen that the analysis uses 135 Wh/km for EVs. This figure is a compromise between the energy consumption of an old Citroën Saxo EV (175 Wh/km) and the figure (100 Wh/km) that was used in the Danish contribution to the European RES-directive. When measuring energy consumption or fuel consumption of conventional combustion engines, it is not normal to include the energy consumption of the gasoline station. However when addressing the impact on the electricity grid from EVs it is © Copyright EDISON Consortium. 2009.

Efficiency of EV components, 2 WP1.1 recommends that an average EV energy consumption of 150 Wh/km is used for network analyses. * Today the average Danish car drives approximately 50 km on an average day.

  • The Peugeot HX1 Concept Car Submitted By: Peugeot Tuesday, 18 October 2011
    The Peugeot HX1 Concept Car Submitted by: Peugeot Tuesday, 18 October 2011 The HX1 Concept Car gives Peugeot the opportunity to once again illustrate the marque’s ability to reflect on new ideas, learn how to evolve and to continually reinvent itself. The brief for this concept was to produce a vehicle for up to six people, offering strong styling, that is sporty and efficient and at the same time giving a unique driving sensation. To achieve this, the HX1 transcends the notions of adaptability in all areas, with its extreme aerodynamics (‘flaps’ are deployed to optimise aero efficiency according to vehicle speed), its tapered, low MPV (http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-5008/) architecture and its HYbrid4 (http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-3008-hybrid4/) power plant integrating ‘plug-in’ technology. A unique and transformable concept, aiming for maximum efficiency Adaptive The HX1 is a prospective concept designed to help envisage future solutions in numerous fields: architecture, aerodynamics, modularity, equipment, interior materials and the environment, not forgetting, of course, powerplants. These considerations have led to very strong bias that breaks from the norm and guided by a theme: ‘Metamorphosis’, to give the vehicle the capability to adapt itself to its environment, to life’s conditions, driving conditions, etc. and at any time. Architecture To meet specifications, the HX1 has been designed with an MPV architecture with unique dimensions: low (1.373 m) and wide (1.990 m overall) and with a length of 4.954 m. This allows for a volume suited to pure, elegant and sleek lines that delivers a low Cd figure for maximum overall efficiency.

The electric motor gets energy from a controller, which regulates the amount of power³based on the driver·s use of an accelerator pedal. The electric car (also known as electric vehicle or EV) uses energy stored in its rechargeable batteries, which are recharged by common household electricity. A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle which combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system. The presence of the electric powertrain is intended to achieve either better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle, or better performance. A variety of types of HEV exist, and the degree to which they function as EVs varies as well.

    Hybrid electric vehicle - Wikiwand 10/22/20, 1014 AM Hybrid electric vehicle A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) system with an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain). The presence of the electric powertrain is The Toyota Prius is the world's best selling hybrid car, with cumulative global sales of intended to achieve either better fuel almost 4 million units up until January 2017. economy than a conventional vehicle or [1] better performance. There is a variety of HEV types and the degree to which each function as an electric vehicle (EV) also varies. The most common form of HEV is the hybrid electric car, although hybrid electric trucks (pickups and tractors) and buses also exist. Modern HEVs make use of efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative brakes which convert the vehicle's kinetic energy to electric energy, which is stored in a battery or supercapacitor. Some varieties of HEV use an internal combustion engine to turn an electrical generator, which either recharges the vehicle's batteries or directly powers its electric drive motors; this combination is known as a motor–generator. Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the engine at idle and restarting it when needed; this is known as a start-stop system. A hybrid-electric produces fewer tailpipe emissions than a comparably sized gasoline car since the hybrid's gasoline engine is usually smaller than that of a gasoline- powered vehicle. If the engine is not used to drive the car directly, it can be geared to run at maximum efficiency, further improving fuel economy.

  • Issue 21 Paris
    Itʼs that time of year again! Welcome to the Paris International Motor Show 2010 and my goodness do we have news for you. This being arguably the most anticipated show of the year it was unlikely to disappoint but words can not do justice to what is on the following pages. Ok, so Iʼm not Franceʼs biggest fan but they do put on a dam good show. How does a new V10 Lamborghini Concept sound? Or the rebirth of biggest name in rallying? Still not tempted... what about a 780BHP Jaguar super car? Yeah I thought that would grab your attention. This Issue is entirely dedicated to the Paris show and so does not contain some of our usual features such as the boys columns. But donʼt fret as they will be back for issue 22. There are two reasons for this: 1) We managed to lose 25 pages of what would have been issue 21 “Dʼoh!” 2) This issue is being published within 48 hours of me typing these words. If all goes to plan you are reading this and Iʼm not just talking to myself. Enjoy! Ford Focus Episode 3: The ASBO Strikes Back The Ford Focus ST has always been a source of practicality, affordability and performance. It’s the sort of car that your wife would let you buy and you would be happy to own, that was until the green party killed it off.
