✦ Synopsis

The book provides thorough 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. Energy sources includes electrochemical energy sources, electromechanical energy storage, hybrid energy sources, on-board solar energy harvesting, on-board thermoelectric energy recovery, and battery management. Battery charging technology ranges from the existing charging strategies to the latest wireless charging techniques for park-and-charge and move-and-charge. Vehicle-to-grid technology covers interdisciplinary topics which link electric vehicles, information technology and power systems for management of energy systems, power interfaces and service scheduling.

Researchers and advanced students developing electric/hybrid vehicles and intelligent transport systems in industry and academia will find this book invaluable. As will researchers and advanced students working on automotive engineering and battery/power engineering
