The Coastal Data Information Program, a Successful Federal, State and University Cooperation

International audienceThermal management and heat prediction are essential to improve the Li-ion battery operation life and performance, especially in Energy Storage System (ESS) for electric vehicles. Variation of cells temperatures of a battery pack can cause damage if not managed. In this paper, an electrochemical-thermal battery pack of three parallel-connected cylindrical Li-ion cells is modelled using COMSOL Multi-physics. The battery pack is cooled using air cooling approach with different inlet velocity to investigate its impact on the model temperature evolution , and the developed thermal model was then, charged/discharge at different temperatures to generate the essential data needed to model an electric-thermal model and identify its parameters in Matlab/Simulink software

Decoupled models for vehicle dynamics and estimation of coupling terms

International audienceThis paper presents different dynamic models of vehicles to compare their dynamics. The main objective is to appreciate the couplings between the different model blocks after splitting systems to five sub models. The passivity approach is used and illustrated by simulation results obtained by the proposed simulator SimK106N

Indirect field oriented control: a control stategy for electric wind power conversion

International audienceDifferent electric wind power conversion systems structures can be used based on the structures of converters used. The main objective in all topologies is always the same: the wind energy at varying wind velocities has to be converted to electric power with the highest performances [6,7,8,9,10]. In this paper a wind energy conversion schemes is presented based on the Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC

The breakdown of leaves of poplar and holm oak in three Moroccan streams : effect of burial in the sediment

Weight loss of leaves of Populus nigra and Quercus ilex was observed in coarse-mesh bags exposed in three watercourses and their sediment (-30 and -50 cm) near the city of Fes. The watercourses were: Oued Sebou (a river), Oued Sidi-Harazem (issuing from a warm spring), and Ain Chkef (a cold spring). Weight loss was faster at the surface than within the sediment. Weight loss was faster in poplar than in the tough holm oak leaves. At all levels, weight loss was fastest in Oued Sebou where the water flowed faster both at the surface and within the coarser sediment. It was slowest in the cold spring. Thus the influence of leaf texture, current velocity, and temperature were stressed
