This book discusses and presents electric vehicle technology, highlighting the research gap and bottlenecks, while laying the roadmap for future research. This will lead to the success of technology and creating a green, intelligent, smart, and sustainable society along with a resilient grid. It is intended for academics and researchers who are working in the field of electric vehicles for net-zero transportation.This book presents a wide area for academicians and researchers to understand the technology and the main topics covered include:Different charging topologies, infrastructure, and strategies for electrified transportationDifferent types of chargingDifferent charging standards and protocolsStorage technology for electrified transportationBattery swapping technology for electric vehiclesNetworking and traffic control strategies involved in electrified transportationCommunications, IoT, and Blockchain for electrified transportation

This book offers a comprehensive techno-economic assessment and optimization framework for the challenges posed by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles by enhancing the performance of power system network through the integration of DG units and flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices, particularly the unified power flow controller (UPFC). It explores various distributed sources available and FACTS controllers and how their integration effectively managed the growing demand due to electric vehicles. By optimizing the placement and sizing of DG units and UPFC devices, the proposed approach aims to enhance grid stability, improve power quality, and increase overall system efficiency. This comprehensive solution not only mitigates the potential strain on existing infrastructure but also paves the way for a more sustainable and resilient electric power system in the face of growing electrification trends.

This book details a cutting-edge smart airport infrastructure with a focus on sustainable, net-zero energy solutions and advanced technologies. The current global trend is construction so that all infrastructure is self-sustaining and implements the latest technologies to achieve net-zero energy and net-zero water. The demand for smart airport technology is estimated to be primarily driven by the rising investments being made in building new greenfield airports and expanding existing airports globally to accommodate the anticipated rebound in passenger traffic.The Global Smart Airport Market Research & Size report includes segments on airport operations (landside, airside, and terminal side), geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa), and technology (security systems, communication systems, air and ground traffic control, passenger, cargo, and baggage ground handling). For each of the aforementioned market segments, the study provides market size and projections in the billions (USD).Technical topics discussed in the book include: Evolution of Lighting Technology on RunwaysBuilding Management SystemsBaggage Handling SystemsElevators and EscalatorsElectrical Design AspectsSource of Electrical PowerCritical Buildings
