Electric Vehicles at Scale (EVs@Scale) Laboratory Consortium Deep-Dive Technical Meetings: High Power Charging (HPC) Summary Report

Electric vehicle (EV) adoption will change the composition of EV charging load to higher-power charging as more medium- (MD) and heavy-duty (HD) applications are electrified, and as all vocations, including light-duty (LD) vehicles, are capable of faster charging. These shifts provide the opportunity for high-power charging (HPC) and facility equipment to evolve and improve efficiency, cost, and space. High-Power Electric Vehicle Charging Hub Integration Platform (eCHIP) project designs and develops a high-power, interoperable charging experimental platform to research, develop, and demonstrate the integration approaches and technology solutions. The project addresses (1) interconnection and management of a grid-tied inverter; (2) development of a DC distribution system that is responsible for system energy management, interoperability, and DC protection; (3) modular DC/DC conversion for vehicle charging; (4) EV charging interface and DC/DC integration; and (5) smart charge control and vehicle-to-edge (vehicle-to-building [V2B], vehicle-to-everything [V2X]) capability. This summary presentation is the first technical progress output of the project. It provides insight for the first deep-dive technical meeting outputs in terms of research presentations and also includes summary of the discussions occurred in the follow-up breakout sessions. The summary presentation covers three technical areas: (1) HPC: State of the art power architectures and the design of the power electronics, (2) Modeling, energy management, and power control in the HPC station, and (3) Next Generation Profiles for high power charging characterization.

Investigations into the damage for various types of unprotected carbon fibre composites with a variety of lightning arc attachments

Very little quantitative information exists on the extent and nature of damage caused to unprotected carbon fiber composites (CFC's) due to lightning arc attachment. An initial investigation into the arc damage to three different types and various thickness of CFC's from A and C component type lightning discharges is described. The difference in damage which the two types of waveform produced and the way the area of damage varies with different levels of action integral and charge transfer is compared. In some cases, the temperature rise at the rear of the panels was recorded for various levels of action integral and charge transfer. A comparison was made of the area of damage from visual inspection and soft x ray photography, using a suitable penetrant in the damage area. It is concluded there is a need for a more detailed analysis of the damage.

Improving Dynamic Wireless Charging System Performance For Electric Vehicles Through Variable Speed Limit Control Integration

Electric Vehicle (EV) charging has been a significant barrier to the widespread use of EVs. Traditional EV charging methods depend on cables, and there are concerns about safety, accessibility, convenience, and weather. A recent development, dynamic (or in-motion) wireless charging, enables EVs to charge wirelessly by incorporating charging infrastructure into roadways, allowing EVs to charge while moving. However, the energy transferred relies heavily on vehicle speed and time spent in the charging lane. This paper proposes an innovative solution that combines dynamic wire-less charging with Variable Speed Limit (VSL) control. This dynamic traffic control strategy adjusts speed limits based on real-time traffic, weather, and incidents. This integration of dynamic wireless charging and VSL has two potential benefits. First, it can motivate driver compliance with VSL through the incentive of charging. Second, it can promote smoother traffic flow and improve traffic safety by implementing lower speed limits at certain times. To verify these benefits, microscopic traffic simulations in SUMO were conducted under different EV penetration rates and VSL compliance rates. Simulation results reveal that the proposed approach can enhance dynamic wireless charging system performance while improving traffic flow and safety.

Nyström type exponential integrators for strongly magnetized charged particle dynamics

Solving for charged particle motion in electromagnetic fields (i.e. the particle pushing problem) is a computationally intensive component of particle-in-cell (PIC) methods for plasma physics simulations. This task is especially challenging when the plasma is strongly magnetized due numerical stiffness arising from the wide range of time scales between highly oscillatory gyromotion and long term macroscopic behavior. A promising approach to solve these problems is by a class of methods known as exponential integrators that can solve linear problems exactly and are A-stable. This work extends the standard exponential integration framework to derive Nyström-type exponential integrators that integrates the Newtonian equations of motion as a second-order differential equation directly. In particular, we derive second-order and third-order Nyström-type exponential integrators for strongly magnetized particle pushing problems. Numerical experiments show that the Nyström-type exponential integrators exhibit significant improvement in computation speed over the standard exponential integrators.

Integrated Multiport Conductive and Wireless Architecture for Electric Vehicle Charging

This paper explores the opportunity of integrating conductive and wireless electric vehicle charging architectures and presents an integrated multiport charging architecture suitable for simultaneous conductive and wireless charging of electric vehicles. The architecture successfully integrates the primary side power electronic high frequency inverter and the high frequency transformer with the wireless transmitter and receiver to achieve independent power flow at each port. Design of the integrated magnetics is discussed, and results are presented that demonstrate the decoupled power flow at each port. The proposed integrated architecture increases the utilization of the same charging infrastructure without a proportionate increase in the cost.

Integration of Electric Vehicle Charging Loads in Residential Building Stock Energy Modeling

The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has resulted in significant new household electric loads that have the potential to change how energy costs are incurred by homeowners and the landscape of utility operations and energy infrastructure. Whereas adoption patterns and magnitudes of residential building and EV charging loads are influenced by distinct factors, the loads themselves are tightly coupled with the behavior of the individual occupants and EV owners.

Time delay and integration array (TDI) using charge transfer device technology. Phase 2, volume 1: Technical

The 20x9 TDI array was developed to meet the LANDSAT Thematic Mapper Requirements. This array is based upon a self-aligned, transparent gate, buried channel process. The process features: (1) buried channel, four phase, overlapping gate CCD's for high transfer efficiency without fat zero; (2) self-aligned transistors to minimize clock feedthrough and parasitic capacitance; and (3) transparent tin oxide electrode for high quantum efficiency with front surface irradiation. The requirements placed on the array and the performance achieved are summarized. This data is the result of flat field measurements only, no imaging or dynamic target measurements were made during this program. Measurements were performed with two different test stands. The bench test equipment fabricated for this program operated at the 8 micro sec line time and employed simple sampling of the gated MOSFET output video signal. The second stand employed Correlated Doubled Sampling (CDS) and operated at 79.2 micro sec line time.
