... and comparing the results, the FC/SC HEV has slightly higher fuel economy than the FC/B HEV. Originality/value The addition of electrical energy storage such as supercapacitor or battery in fuel cell‐based vehicles has a great potential and a promising approach for future hybrid electric vehicles (HEV...

...Ahmed Masmoudi; Abdou Tankari Mahamadou; Bailo Camara Mamadou; Dakyo Brayima; Nichita Cristian Purpose The wind speed is very fluctuant and contains a significant energy. Taking into account the turbulent component in the energy management would increase the profitability of the wind‐diesel hybrid...

...Patrick Dular; Maurizio Repetto; E. Della Torre; E. Cardelli; L.H. Bennett Purpose The magnetic modeling of materials has been focused on computing magnetization and forces in devices. With increasing efforts to make energy efficient devices, attention must now be paid to hysteresis losses...

...V.P. Sakthivel; R. Bhuvaneswari; S. Subramanian Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the application of an adaptive bacterial foraging (BF) algorithm for the design optimization of an energy efficient induction motor. Design/methodology/approach The induction motor design problem...

...Oszkar Biro; David A. Lowther; Piergiorgio Alotto; K. Sokalski; J. Szczygłowski; M. Najgebauer; W. Wilczyński Purpose The paper presents an application of the scaling theory in a description of energy losses in soft magnetic materials in order to improve an agreement between measurements...

...Jeno Takacs Purpose The paper sets out to develop the T(x) model, based on well known principles and using the free energy of the ferromagnetic binary system as a starting point. Design/methodology/approach With the inclusion of the coercive and the intermolecular forces the model...

... with the underlying energy considerations at the continuous and at the discrete level, for rigid and non‐rigid movements. This makes this approach easier to understand and to implement in a finite element program. Equation 1 Equation 2 Equation 3 Equation 4...

... are known. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2004 Finite element analysis Electromagnetism Energy Hysteresis phenomenon modelling is very useful in electrical engineering, especially for ferromagnetic material modelling. So, many hysteresis models have been developed and two...
