    Abstract
    Hybrid vehicles have many advantages, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, saving fuel, and optimizing energy use. Proper routing for hybrid vehicles can improve fuel efficiency, increase energy efficiency, and even extend the life of electric batteries. In this study, two routing modes, offline and online, are introduced. The offline mode guides the vehicle from the starting point to the destination by using satellite traffic data and geological information such as slope information. In the online mode, the vehicle, with the ability to receive signals from surrounding vehicles (V2V), such as a breakdown of the vehicle in front, and considering concepts such as traffic, the presence...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Negarestani, Soodeh (Author) ; Rajabi Ghahnavieh, Abbas (Supervisor) ; Fotuhi Firuzabad, Mahmud (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Mass production of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and requests for long trip capability necessisated development of fast charging station that can charge PHEV in a feuling time of a conventional vehicle. Fast charging station design requires a systematic approach to consider various related issues.
    The aim of this thesis is to design a fast charging station. First, the daly demand for PHEV charging is modeled considering number and type of PHEV as well as level and pattern of daily driving of PHEV. Uncertainty in daily driving and in PHEV state of charge in the start of charging are also considered in modeling charging demand. An approach, then, is proposed for optimal design of...

    Abstract

    The worldwide increase in greenhouse gases is one of the most important human concerns today, and reducing emissions is on the agenda of politicians and the international community. Globally, the transportation fleet is one of the major sources of environmental pollutants due to the use of fossil fuels, and replacing this fleet with electric vehicles will play an important role in reducing the emission of environmental pollutants. These environmental concerns and the advancement of technologies used in electric vehicles in recent years have led to a relative increase in the presence of electric vehicles in the transportation network. The acceptance of these cars, on the one hand,... 

    Solar-hydrogen renewable supply system optimisation based on demand side management

    Taylor and Francis Ltd  2019
    Abstract
    Stand-alone hybrid power systems are an alternative to main electricity grids, where the grid extension is costly or the trifling local consumption would not justify its expansion. However, lack of consistency and uniformity in renewable energy sources, and the restrictions of energy storage systems make system sizing a challenging task. Optimum size of a stand-alone system depends on several factors including energy demand function. In this paper, different types of demand functions are addressed for optimising a solar-hydrogen supply system. Different parameters are defined to investigate the impact of household population on the power generation cost, and also to determine the optimum...

    The impact of employing a magnetic field as well as Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the performance of phase change materials

    , Article Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics ; Volume 16, Issue 1 , 2022 , Pages 196-214 ; 19942060 (ISSN) Zandie, M ; Moghaddas, A ; Kazemi, A ; Ahmadi, M ; Feshkache, H. N ; Ahmadi, M. H ; Sharifpur, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this study a 2D cubic chamber model filled with paraffin is analyzed with and without the inclusion of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 wt%, and an external magnetic field of intensities 0.005, 0.01, 0.015 and 0.02 T. It is ascertained that adding magnetic nanoparticles leads the horizontal temperature gradient to be reduced owing to increments in thermal conductivity. Additionally, this feature is found to be accelerated by applying an external magnetic field, which shapes highly conductive cluster formations of nanoparticles. However, since the increase in nanoparticle concentration and magnetic intensity increases the composite viscosity, there is an...

    Abstract
    Recently, with the growth and development of distributed generation (DGs) and energy storage systems (ESSs), as well as smart control equipment, microgrids (MGs) have been developed. Microgrids are comprised of a limited number of constitutive parts, including loads, DGs, ESSs, and electric vehicles (EVs). This paper presents a novel scheme to manage active and reactive powers, based on DGs, ESSs, and EVs to reduce the total operation cost including power generation and emission costs. Simultaneous management of active and reactive power makes it possible to consider grid operation constraints together. In the proposed schedule, the vehicles are assumed to be plug-in hybrid electric...

    Abstract
    Aquifers are underground porous formations containing water. Confined aquifers are surrounded by impermeable layers on top and bottom, called cap rocks and bed rocks. A confined aquifer with a very low groundwater flow velocity was considered to meet the annual cooling and heating energy requirements of a residential building complex in Tehran, Iran. Three different alternatives of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) were employed to meet the heating/cooling demands of the buildings. These alternatives were using ATES for: Cooling alone, heating alone by coupling with at-plate solar collectors, and cooling and heating by coupling with a heat pump. For the economic evaluation of the...

    Abstract
    Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are a promising solution for reducing the impacts of passenger vehicles on the environment. However, their driving range is restricted due to the limitations of battery technologies. This range can be extended by adoption of multiple-speed transmissions. Most of the comparisons in the related studies are based on non-optimal designs or limited to modal driving cycles. Furthermore, the impact of Power-Split. Continuously Variable Transmission (PS-CVT) layout with type III power How on the power consumption of BEVs has never been examined. In this paper, single-, two-, and three-speed transmissions along with PS-C'VTs with type I and III power flows are...

    Abstract
    In this article, a new general approach has been presented for exact and efficient extraction of eigenpolarizations in anisotropic electromagnetic media with arbitrary constitutive relations. It is shown that the plane wave propagation eigenpolarizations in a linear homogeneous time-independent anisotropic media without free sources, can be obtained through extremizing the difference between stored electric and magnetic energies as a variational functional. It is demonstrated that at these stationary points the wave equation is satisfied by showing that each of the Maxwell curl equations may be obtained by using the other equation as a constraint. Furthermore, it is proven that the theorem... 

    Heat and electricity supply chain expansion planning under the umbrella of energy hub: A case study of Iran

    , Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 29, Issue 4 D , 2022 , Pages 1983-2006 ; 10263098 (ISSN) Sadeghi, H ; Rashidinejad, M ; Moeini Aghtaie, M ; Abdollahi, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Reinforcing the correlation between Gas and Electricity Systems (G&ESs) susceptible to diverse factors ranging from anthropogenic climate change to the advent of new conversion/generation technologies has remarkably brought into focus the co-expansion of G&ESs using a new concept so-called Energy Hub (EH) as well as the potential of storage systems. To assess the effectiveness of EH approach and the role of storages in the coordinated plans of G&ES, this study proposes a comprehensive EH-based planning model for co-expansion of G&ES supply chains with respect to the role of Gas Storage Systems (GSSs). As a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem, the model is applied to a real...
