Energy Systems for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Electric and hybrid vehicles have been globally identified to be the most environmentally friendly road transportation. This book provides comprehensive coverage of energy systems for electric and hybrid vehicles with a focus on the three main energy system technologies – energy sources, battery charging and vehicle-to-grid systems.

Topics covered include;

• energy source systems (electrochemical energy sources, flywheel energy storage, hybrid energy sources, solar energy harvesting, electromagnetic energy regeneration and thermoelectric energy recovery)
• battery technologies (battery charging strategies and battery management techniques, emerging wireless charging techniques for electric vehicles and the concept of energy cryptography for secure wireless power transfer)
• vehicle-to-X technology (vehicle-to-home, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid energy systems)
