“…substantial carbon emissions and reduced air quality) [ 47 ] in addition to probable conflicts for the consumption of fossil fuels. This might happen especially due to the inefficacy in electrifying the transportation sector [ 48 ]. Additionally, billions would still be using polluting cooking systems [ 34 ] Despite the positive trend of improvements in energy efficiency, not meeting this target would also prevent the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions [ 49 ].…”

Heading towards an unsustainable world: some of the implications of not achieving the SDGs

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were conceived at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, held in Rio de Janeiro in 2012 (Rio + 20), and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015. They are part of a larger framework, namely the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Since then, many countries round the world have been engaging in respect of their implementation. The slow progress seen in the implementation of the SDGs, is in contrast with the many negative implications of not implementing them. This paper outlines the relevance of the SDGs, the barriers currently seen in respect of their implementation and outlines what is at stake, if they are not duly implemented. To accomplish this, a thorough literature review of contributions published in the field of SDGs in English between the years 2012–2020 was performed.

“…The development of applications based on Internet of Things and the development of peer to peer energy transaction systems, for instance based on blockchain or similar technologies, will create new power system roles and new ways of planning, deploy and operate the power systems [9], [10]. In the case of the transportation sector, the obvious revolution has to do with the massive irruption of the electric vehicles and the transportation electrification schemes [11], [12]. Electric transportation must be understood not only referring to the electric vehicle itself, but also to a wide range of applications that share the common feature of using electricity for traction and related purposes.…”

This work shows the experiences gone through in the implementation of the academic syllabus of two Higher Education Master Courses, the Electrical Energy Conversion and Power Systems (EECPS) Master Degree, and the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Sustainable Transportation and Power Systems (EJMJD STEPS). Both titles cover specifically the competences and learning results required for professionals on leading edge technologies at the electrical transportation sector. This work will show the procedure from the early concepts of the degree, the design of the contents of the subjects and modules, the schedule of these subjects in the curriculum, the evaluation and methodologies, up to the continuous quality monitoring procedures implemented to ensure an adequate development of the course.

“…The development of EVs has been strongly supported by the automotive industry and driven by governmental policy in many countries. For instance, the French government plans to stop the sale of all greenhouse gas-emitting vehicles by 2040 [2]; the UK government aims to ban the sale of new fossil fuel vehicles from 2040 onwards and outlaw the use of all such vehicles on British roads from 2050 onwards [3]; Scotland plans to phase out petrol and diesel cars by 2032 [4]; and there are similar initiatives planned in Austria, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, South Korea and Spain [5].…”

An Analytical and Numerical Study of Magnetic Spring Suspension with Energy Recovery Capabilities

As the automotive paradigm shifts towards electric, limited range remains a key challenge. Increasing the battery size adds weight, which yields diminishing returns in range per kilowatt-hour. Therefore, energy recovery systems, such as regenerative braking and photovoltaic cells, are desirable to recharge the onboard batteries in between hub charge cycles. While some reports of regenerative suspension do exist, they all harvest energy in a parasitic manner, and the predicted power output is extremely low, since the majority of the energy is still dissipated to the environment by the suspension. This paper proposes a fundamental suspension redesign using a magnetically-levitated spring mechanism and aims to increase the recoverable energy significantly by directly coupling an electromagnetic transducer as the main damper. Furthermore, the highly nonlinear magnetic restoring force can also potentially enhance rider comfort. Analytical and numerical models have been constructed. Road roughness data from an Australian road were used to numerically simulate a representative environment response. Simulation suggests that 10's of kW to >100 kW can theoretically be generated by a medium-sized car travelling on a typical paved road (about 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than literature reports on parasitic regenerative suspension schemes), while still maintaining well below the discomfort threshold for passengers (<0.315 m/s 2 on average).
