In this case, the objective functions are usually modeled with utility functions and the goal is to develop a charging tariff such that the total cost of charging is minimized compared to uncontrolled case [44, 47 49].
In the present work we develop a charging system to prove the concept of direct, efficient, solar-powered charging for battery-electric vehicles using solar photovoltaic-powered charging of the high-voltage nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery that is used in the GM 2-mode hybrid system.
We have developed a charged particle microbeam, which allows individually counted particles to be delivered to precise cellular locations.
Aldebaran has developed a charging station specifically for their flagship robot, the so-called NEST (NAO Energy Station), and plans to roll it out to existing Nao owners soon.
It takes advantage of the piezoelectric effect: certain materials, when squeezed, develop a charge and produce electricity.
We used polycrystalline Chemical-Vapor-Deposition (pCVD) diamond as active sensor material and high-bandwidth RF amplifiers to develop a charged-particle detector suitable for high counting rates.
Since wool is a great way to develop a charge with plastic materials, you can rub the wool against the comb or balloon to develop a charge.
The situation approaches that of a perfect conductor, which develops a charge and current distribution on the surface so that external EM fields do not penetrate it.
A Japanese company called KFE has developed a charger for cell phones that gets its energy from a zinc-air battery.
The company is working with Daimler to develop a plugless charging system for passenger cars.
Both, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that some polyaniline layers develop an increased charged transfer resistance at the carbon support/polymer interface during charging/discharging process.
