This book outlines issues related to massive integration of
electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles into power grids.
Electricity is becoming the preferred energy vector for the next
new generation of road vehicles. It is widely acknowledged that
road vehicles based on full electric or hybrid drives can mitigate
problems related to fossil fuel dependence. This book explains the
emerging and understanding of storage systems for electric and
plug-in hybrid vehicles. The recharging stations for these types of
vehicles might represent a great advantage for the electric grid by
facilitating integration of renewable and distributed energy
production. This book presents a broad review from analyzing
current literature to on-going research projects about the new
power technologies related to the various charging architectures
for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Specifically focusing on
DC fast charging operations, as well as, grid-connected power
converters and the full range of energy storage systems. These key
components are analyzed for distributed generation and charging
system integration into micro-grids. The authors demonstrate that
these storage systems represent effective interfaces for the
control and management of renewable and sustainable distributed
energy resources. New standards and applications are emerging from
micro-grid pilot projects around the world and case studies
demonstrate the convenience and feasibility of distributed energy
management. The material in this unique volume discusses potential
avenues for further research toward achieving more reliable, more
secure and cleaner energy.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells for Road Vehicles addresses the main issues
related to the application of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the
road transportation sector. A preliminary treatment is given on
fuel resources and atmospheric pollution concerns which are closely
related to the current technology (internal combustion engine) used
for moving people and goods. The authors deal, in particular, with
the problems that can hinder a widespread hydrogen market
(production, storage and distribution), as well as giving an
analysis of fuel cell technologies available for utilization of
this energy carrier in the automotive field. Hydrogen Fuel Cells
for Road Vehicles also examines the concerns faced during the
design and realization of a PEM fuel cell system with optimal size
and efficiency, evidencing the impact of the individual auxiliary
components on energy losses and dynamic stack performance. The book
ends with the analysis of two practical case studies on fuel cell
propulsion systems. Hydrogen Fuel Cells for Road Vehicles is a
useful text for researchers, professionals and advanced students in
the fields of automotive and environmental engineering.
