“…Thus, it is expected that the purchasing of electric vehicles (EVs) would increase to mitigate these environmental issues. Some papers have proposed the control, operation, and planning of DC microgrids with the incorporation of EVs [8][9][10]. Moreover, EVs own a key component, which is an electric battery that has recently received considerable attention since it is an energy storage system.…”

Several efforts need to be performed in transportation and energy production to mitigate the current environmental issues that are related to fossil fuel use. The implementation of DC microgrids and the use of electric vehicles seem to be an adequate solution. However, various technical challenges have to be addressed, like grid stability issues. Thus, this case report assesses the impact of an electric vehicle load in a DC microgrid, subject to nonlinear control theory. The EV battery pack is modeled and simulated. Subsequently, it is included as a load in an available model of nonlinear control of DC microgrids. The results demonstrate high stability with this new load and the feasibility of its implementation.

“…Many researchers have therefore proposed various "smart charging" techniques to mitigate those issues. Smart charging of electric vehicles is an important field of research that allows EV users and grid operators to correctly manage EV charging profiles for technical and economic benefits and take into account the unique demand-side management needs of EVs [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gradually addressing the environmental problem in cities created by internal combustion vehicles. However, to be widely used, a major challenge will still have to be tackled. Some significant challenges are the resistance to new technologies and EVs’ purchase cost, which is significantly higher than that of internal combustion vehicles. These challenges are similar to the adoption of EVs for public transportation, such as buses and taxis. Thus, this paper proposes valuable insights into attitudes and preferences for taxi and bus users for the willingness to travel in EVs, by performing a convenience sampling, focusing especially on young users. Moreover, this study highlights the possibility of the users paying additional fees to travel in electric taxis (ETs) or electric buses (EBs). Pearson’s chi-squared analysis was also performed to validate the hypotheses.

Due to the increasing attention of PV generation, and to the uncertainty of the real PV electrical power output, power system are facing planning challenges. Hence, this case report proposes a computer application that determines the optimal tilt and orientation angles of flat surfaces to maximize solar insolation capture based on existing mathematical models. The study uses data from different meteorological variables measured and estimated through a typical year from the most populated Ecuador cities. The computer application considers the global, diffuse, direct, reflected radiation, and the angle of incidence of the sun. This analysis reveals the angle of inclination and orientation where the highest percentage of insolation is obtained in Ecuador’s main cities. The results suggest that, in Ecuador, flat solar capture surfaces can be oriented between 20° and 60° concerning north, and with tilt angles between 12° and 19°. This contrasts with the literature, which recommends an orientation to the equator and an inclination equal to the location’s latitude.
