| Description | Speaker: Mahmoud Ghofrani, Asst. Prof., STEM - Electrical Engineering Electric vehicles do not generate carbon emissions, but the methods for producing their electricity often do. Utilizing fossil-fuel technologies to power electric vehicles increases their net emissions and significantly decreases their environmental benefits. The solution is to incorporate cleaner energy sources, like wind and solar, to bring electric vehicles closer to their goal of being emission-free. The E.V. project is to develop a responsive and flexible charging/discharging control model to increase the use of clean energy and decrease the impacts of E.V. charging/discharging on the electric grid. This project is to develop control models to address the limitations of the current inflexible E.V. charging practices. |
