... 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...

.... A general approach to compute forces is then proposed, which takes that fact into consideration. The method is applicable in 2D and 3D with dual formulations. Numerical evidences of its efficiency are given. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2004 Electromagnetism Energy Numerical analysis...

... to the temperature. By considering the losses induced by domain wall motions, the energy dissipated through pinning during a domain wall displacement is calculated (Jiles and Atherton, 1986). The magnetisation energy is assumed to be the difference between the energy that would be obtained in the anhysteretic case...
