Unrestricted charging of electric vehicles (EVs) can result in violations of the grid’s operating limits, and/or equipment damage or failure. To address this, the researchers propose a two-stage smart charging algorithm for EVs in single-family residences.
This paper describes the development and demonstration of a smart charging system for a plug-in electric vehicle (EV) that can help manage grid impacts.
This report presents creative engagement activities based on the Designing with the Sun: Solar Curriculum Project that teaches high school and undergraduate students the principles of solar design and the steps needed to design and build a solar charging station.
The goal of this project is to serve as an off-grid energy power supply and environmental information center, with interactive displays of the solar station operation and an LED display of local air quality.
The NCST congratulates our UC Riverside and UC Davis dissertation grant and graduate fellowship recipients for the Fall 2020 cycle! Our recent awardees are contributing to research on electric vehicle charging infrastructure, pavement performance, highway traffic management, ridehailing, and disaster modeling!
Researchers employ a least-cost infrastructure planning framework to analyze the impacts of demand, supply, and government policy uncertainties for future hydrogen supply chains. Long-term investment strategies substantially reduce system costs in all our scenarios
The focus of this study will be on modeling of the ISO tanks evaporative losses, holding times, and the amount of methane released from the tanks pressure relief/safety valves when the holding time is passed.

This research will involve studying global practices of solar bike pathway technology, which refers to the integration of solar energy technologies and systems embedded into bike paths to capture and convert solar energy into electrical power, providing both a functional pathway for cyclists and a source of renewable energy
The report involves a discussion of smart charging for electric vehicles, a comprehensive literature review on the subject, development of models for analyzing EV charging and grid impact, and algorithms for solving the smart charging problem.
