Electric vehicle Acceptance

This thesis is dedicated to study how the charging behaviours of plug-in hybrid vehicles affect the local distribution network. This study focuses on two issues: the power loss and charging cost optimization. The multi-objective particle swarm optimization technique is applied to achieve the optimal charging schedule, resulting in acceptable additional power loss ratio and charging cost.

The model suggests that the preferences for the design are influenced mainly by perceived concerns related to being too dependent on the DLC programmes, trust in the utility company that they are transparent when providing information, attitude towards and knowledge on DLC programmes. Utilities will need to carefully address these issues in the programme design to ensure a widespread acceptance.

The use of alternative fuels to displace coal reduces reliance on fossil fuels, reduces emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants, and contributes to long-term cost savings for cement plants. Further, due to their high burning temperatures, cement kilns are well-suited for accepting and efficiently utilizing a wide range of wastes that can present a disposal challenge. This report begins with an overview of the types of alternative fuels used in cement kilns, focusing on energy and environmental considerations.

The Rule amendments also streamline and clarify the direct notice requirements to ensure that key information is presented to parents in a succinct “just-in-time” notice; expand the non- exhaustive list of acceptable methods for obtaining prior verifiable parental consent; create two new exceptions to the Rule’s notice and consent requirements; strengthen data security protections by requiring operators to take reasonable steps to release children’s personal information only to service providers and third parties who are capable of maintaining the confidentiality, security, and integr...

The idea of combining electrical engines and internal combustion (IC) engines has a long history. In 1901 J. Lohner and F. Porsche had already presented a first hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). But this revolutionary concept did not reach full maturity because the electrical components were not developed. The main concern was the battery, a high-performing battery system with acceptable long-term endurance was not available at the time. The battery of the vehicle shown in Figure 1 had a weight of not less than 1800 kg. It was not until the end of the twentieth century that HEVs became a...
