    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Braves.com Braves' Top 5 center fielders: Bowman's take By Mark Bowman No one loves a good debate quite like baseball fans, and with that in mind, we asked each of our beat reporters to rank the top five players by position in the history of their franchise, based on their career while playing for that club. These rankings are for fun and debate purposes only … if you don’t agree with the order, participate in the Twitter poll to vote for your favorite at this position. Here is Mark Bowman’s ranking of the top 5 center fielders in Braves history. Next week: Right fielders. 1. Andruw Jones, 1996-2007 Key fact: Stands with Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Ichiro Suzuki as the only outfielders to win 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards The 60.9 bWAR (Baseball Reference’s WAR model) Andruw Jones produced during his 11 full seasons (1997-2007) with Atlanta ranked third in the Majors, trailing only Alex Rodriguez (85.7) and Barry Bonds (79.2). Chipper Jones was fourth at 58.9. Within this span, the Braves center fielder led all Major Leaguers with a 26.7 Defensive bWAR. Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez ranked second with 16.5. The next closest outfielder was Mike Cameron (9.6). Along with establishing himself as one of the greatest defensive outfielders baseball has ever seen during his time with Atlanta, Jones became one of the best power hitters in Braves history. He ranks fourth in franchise history with 368 homers, and he set the club’s single-season record with 51 homers in 2005.

  • E-Mobility Index Q3 2015
    STUDY E-Mobility Index Q3 2015 Roland Berger – Automotive Competence Center & Forschungsgesellschaft Kraftfahrwesen mbH Aachen September 2015 E-MOBILITY INDEX Q3 2015 1 Key takeaways from the E-Mobility Index for Q3 2015 > While the competitive situation in respect of industry remains largely unchanged, France has taken the lead in terms of technology. With regard to the market, Japan has dropped from second to fourth place, and growth in the USA has also slowed significantly. France has increased its lead still further, while Germany has moved into third place on the back of strong growth. However, the average market share of xEVs in the seven leading automotive nations is stagnating at below 1%. > The lack of coherent sales concepts is partly responsible for the weak sales figures. OEMs are not doing enough to win customers over to BEVs and PHEVs. Strategies are lacking for creating lasting incentives for dealers to sell low-emission vehicles. > xEVs are still underperforming on key customer criteria, especially range. Besides developing a new generation of cells with higher energy density, considerable savings are possible by reducing the energy consumption of auxiliary electric devices, especially in the area of climate control. 2 Summary comparison of the competitive positions of the world's seven leading automotive nations In terms of technology, France has overtaken Japan and is now in pole position. Behind this improvement lies a shift in the model mix of French OEMs in favor of smaller BEVs that offer good value for money. Japan is losing out by comparison because its OEM product portfolios exhibit only marginal technical development in the medium term.

  • ABSTRACT ZHOU, XIAOHU. Design and Control of Bi-Directional Grid
    ABSTRACT ZHOU, XIAOHU. Design and Control of Bi-Directional Grid-Interactive Converter for Plug- in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Applications. (Under the direction of Dr. Alex Q. Huang). The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a promising technology which provides a sustainable approach to transportation that is easily accessible to a large portion of the population that already relies on gasoline-fueled cars. Although the larger scale adoption of plug-in hybrid vehicles is still years away, politicians, electric utilities, and auto companies are eagerly awaiting the opportunities that will arise from reduced emissions, reduced gasoline consumption, new electric utility services, increased revenues, and new markets that will lead to the creation of new jobs. In addition, the electrification of the transportation system would lead to the creation of new avenues for researchers. In the case of power electronics researchers, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles would provide a new candidate for energy storage. Because energy storage is a component of so called “smart grids,” a topic of growing interest to the power engineering research community, PHEVs could be incorporated as a vital part of such a system. However, to enable this functionality, a power electronics interface between the vehicle and grid is required. The motivation of this dissertation is to design a grid-interactive smart charger to enable PHEV as distributed energy storage device which will play an important role in smart grid applications. For grid-connection applications of the proposed converter, adaptive virtual resistor control is proposed to achieve high power quality for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles integration with various grid conditions.
