Given the limitations of state-of-the-art methods, this book presents a state of health (SOH) forecasting method that is suitable for lithium-ion battery (LIB) systems in real-world battery electric vehicle operation. Its histogram-based features can capture the higher operational variability compared to constant and controlled laboratory operation. Also, the transferability of a trained machine learning model to new LIB cell types and new operational domains is investigated. The presented SOH forecasting method can be provided as a cloud service via a web or smartphone app to fleet managers. Forecasting the SOH enables fleet managers of battery electric vehicle fleets to forecast and plan vehicle replacements.

Mit 1,2 Grad Erwärmung und 420 ppm Kohlenstoffkonzentration droht ein zivilisationsvernichtender Kollaps des Klimas. Doch es gibt Hoffnung. Das Buch diskutiert die zwingende Notwendigkeit eines Geoengineering zur Kühlung der Erde gemeinsam mit drei weiteren Zielen: weitgehende Klimaneutralität, Verbrauchsminderung, Revitalisierung des natürlichen Treibhausgasreduktionsvermögens. Anstelle des illusionären 1,5 … 2 Grad–Ziels präsentiert es das Kriterium „Peak of Carbon“ als diskussionswürdige Alternative. Das Buch bietet Einblicke in potentielle Lösungen, visionäre Ausblicke in das Jahr 2047 und betont die Bedeutung bahnbrechender Innovationen. Durch die detailgetreue Beschreibung technologischer Verfahren kann es als Ideengeber zur intelligenten Gestaltung der gebotenen Transformation zur Zukunftsfähigkeit dienen. Ein Aufruf zum Handeln in einer entscheidenden Zeit für unseren Planeten.

'The Economics of Electric Vehicles for Passenger Transportation'provides answers to three critical questions: Why should developing countries pursue e-mobility? When does an accelerated transition to electric vehicles (EVs) make sense for developing countries? How can governments make this transition happen? A key finding from the research is that there is a strong economic case for EVs in many developing countries. This is news because, despite growing momentum and interest in the sector, 90 percent of EV sales are still concentrated in major markets such as China, Europe, and the United States. According to original models developed by the report's authors, developing countries can look to electric buses as well as to two- and three-wheeled vehicles as entry points to this critical transition. Readers will find many examples of countries already benefiting from e-mobility solutions. For example, Brazil, Chile, and India are leaders in electric bus fleets. Their progress, made possible by innovative financing and procurement practices,is improving mobility in cities, reducing local air pollution, and reducing congestion in fast-growing downtowns. Readers will also see examples from Asian and East African countries, which are embarking on battery-swapping schemes to lower upfront costs of ownership for two- and three-wheeled vehicles. Based on the unique modeling, analysis, and benchmarking of results across 20 developing countries--complemented by a compilation of actual organic and diverse experiences of developing countries with electric mobility adoption--this report provides policy guidance on how governments can accelerate EV adoption, and when and where it makes economic sense to adopt electric mobility more quickly. This report is a critical read for anyone interested in the future of transport and its links with development progress.
