Full textAbstract:
This article deals with the use of electric drive in the design of mobile road construction vehicles. Despite the fact that electric drive has been used in machine engineering for a long time (span type cranes, tower cranes, machines), this type of drive is not widely used in specialized equipment (single-bucket excavators, bulldozers, single-bucket loaders, etc.). At the same time, based on scientific evidence, the electric drive has been used more and more often in the car engineering. Clearly, the use of electric drives in road construction machines has not been sufficiently investigated and therefore it's limited. This is due to a number of factors associated with the features (a large mass, changes in technological processes of work) and operating conditions (natural, climatic, road) of this road machinery. This must be taken into account in the development of road construction vehicles with an electric drive to improve the efficiency of their use. The authors analyzed the characteristics of machines with electric drive, determined the functional dependences, and based on this made the main conclusions.

Currently, the eco-friendly vehicle market is growing continuously. In the automobile industry, various electric vehicle models are being developed, and several technological innovations are being made. Certain limited vehicle types, such as passenger cars, are being converted to electric vehicles; moreover, a variety of small electric vehicles, including smart mobility vehicles, are being developed. The driving motor of an electric vehicle, e.g., a brushless Direct Current motor (BLDC), is one of the key components that determine its driving performance. However, since the recent hike in prices of the rare earth magnets used in BLDCs, the development of induction motor with lower cost and a simple product structure has become essential. Therefore, this study proposes an optimized design for an outer rotor induction motor with high efficiency in the low-speed section for electric vehicles. The motor designed in this study is efficient for speeds less than 1000 rpm, and our experimental results prove that the prototypes can provide up to 84.8% efficiency. This optimized motor is expected to have widespread application in the eco-friendly vehicle market.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the current trends of designing and constructing multi-storey parking garages for storing electric vehicles. It has already been established that at the present stage of technology development, traditional gas stations are transforming into charging stations, operating on solar batteries. These technologies incentivize searching for new design forms of buildings for storing motor vehicles with solar charging stations in their structure. This applies to both multi-storey and flat parking garages. The paper analyzes the existing foreign experience of designing multi-storey parking garages for storing and charging electric vehicles, and identifies their main functional planning features and technological methods of organization. The main attention is paid to the artistic and aesthetic side of the formation of these objects. Electric vehicles can be very energy efficient and clean, as long as they are charged using renewable electricity. However, they need to overcome some challenges, including short driving range, the high price, and the lack of a charging infrastructure. Today, many design solutions have been developed for storing electric vehicles. The simplest of them is the parking lot design with 1-2 parking spaces for storing and charging of electric cars. This parking lot has the appearance of an open area with markings and with an element of built-in charger. Design solutions of indoor tent parkings lots for storing electric cars are considered to be more practical and convenient in operation. The most frequent of them are with rectilinear construction and with curved awning design at their base. The absence of developed infrastructure is the most important problem in the development of environmentally friendly transport. For this reason the design solution of storage sites and electric charging stations plays an important role and will allow us to experience the potential of electric mobility, which is the future.

Full textAbstract:
In the article on the basis of the complex analysis of sources and scientific literature the attempt to investigate historical circumstances of development and construction of shunting electric locomotives at the Dnipropetrovsk electric locomotive plant has been made. It was found that during the 1960s and 1970s, the team of designers of the Dnipropetrovsk plant, having strong research and production potential, at the request of the Ministry of Railways of the USSR developed and built unique samples of shunting electric locomotives of the VL41 and VL26 series to meet the needs of Soviet main-line railways with modern high-tech electric vehicles. It is proved that in the absence of thorough experience and, accordingly, the possibility of a rapid technological breakthrough in the development of main-line locomotives, during the experimental operation of shunting electric locomotives VL41 and VL26, several design shortcomings were identified, which led to their further use exclusively on the house tracks of enterprises, and designers of Dnipropetrovsk plant later focused on the development and construction of traction units for industrial application commissioned by the Ministry of Ferrous Metallurgy of the USSR. At the same time, the construction of the main-line railway equipment to the order of the Ministry of Railways allowed the staff of the enterprise to gain valuable experience, which was later used in the implementation of the renewal program of rolling stock of Ukrzaliznytsia. Although today the Dnipropetrovsk plant is in decline, the analysis of historical circumstances of formation and design and technological heritage of electric locomotive construction in Ukraine is of fundamental importance both in the general perspective of the development of domestic transport engineering, and the railway industry in particular. Further study of the history of Dnipropetrovsk electric locomotive plant requires clarification of the historical circumstances of institutionalization of the Special Design and Technology Bureau of the enterprise from the creation of industrial electric locomotives and traction units to the development and re-equipment of main traction rolling stock and specialized repair equipment within the state enterprise “Ukrainian Research Design Institute of Electric Locomotive Engineering”.

Full textAbstract:
At present, the trend of all sectors and industries, especially the oil and gas industry, is towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Along with the modernization of technological processes, special attention has been paid to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles that run on gasoline and diesel. An effective solution in this field is the transition from vehicles with combustion engines to electric vehicles, similar to the use of the electric bus in public transportation. How to charge these electric buses is a challenge for researchers. By proposing a flash charging method for electric buses, the feasibility of using these buses is obtained. Due to the pulsating nature of the power demand in this charging method, the prevention of negative effects on the network by this type of load should be considered. These negative effects can include power quality problems, voltage drop, frequency instability, and overload of transmission lines and transformers. This paper presents a flywheel energy storage system (FESS)-based flash charging station for electric buses. The specifications of the components of this charging station are designed and sized for a case study for line 1 of Tehran Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). A charging strategy based on the proposed charging cycle is presented to minimize the high-power short-duration demand from the grid. The energy consumption of the electric bus based on the electricity consumption model is calculated. Based on theoretical calculations, for the case study, there is a need for installing 12 flash charging stations based on FESS in line 1 Tehran BRT. In this line, an electric bus with a battery capacity of 80 kWh is proposed. The power and energy capacity of these charging stations are sized to 600 kW and 3.334 kWh, respectively. Additionally, an economic comparison regarding the proposed charging station is conducted. The theoretical results of the design and sizing of the proposed charging station are validated based on simulation and experimental results for a small-scale laboratory setup.

Full textAbstract:
The construction sector in the United Kingdom is dominated by small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) which have less than 250 employees and usually do not have research capacities to develop a range of low carbon innovations applicable in the construction sector. Various European and national funding programmes have addressed this problem by providing funding for research collaboration between universities and SMEs. The paper provides a selection of the outputs of academic/industry research, undertaken by seven Scottish universities through the project CIC Start Online from September 2009 until February 2013, related to low carbon planning, building design, technologies, construction, refurbishment and performance. The studies either contributed to the further development of existing products or processes, or tested new products or processes, often developed for a specific project with a potential for application in future projects. Online dissemination of the project outcomes has assisted in attracting membership across Scotland, the United Kingdom and internationally. Along with the low carbon building products and technologies, new low carbon infrastructure is being planned and developed in order to provide connections and services for energy generation from renewables, energy storage and decentralised distribution, water management (harvesting, saving and reuse), waste management (reduction, reuse and to-energy), transport (electric vehicles, cycling and walking) and information communication technology (ICT) for monitoring and managing infrastructure systems. The second part of the paper outlines how innovations for integration of sustainable infrastructure into the existing built environment will be supported through the follow-on joint project of nine Scottish universities, named Mainstreaming Innovation.

Introduction. High rates of new territories development, the development of the construction and road-transport complex, mining and transportation of minerals is impossible without machinery and equipment. The use of a caterpillar propeller as a base chassis has both advantages and disadvantages. One of the main problems is ensuring the mobility of tracked vehicles. The use of mixed-type power units and transmissions allows solving this scientific problem and ensuring the efficiency of technological operations during the operation of tracked vehicles. Modern vehicles use a variety of transmission types, including electromechanical transmission (EMT). In such a design, torque conversion and change in the speed of the drive wheels of the caterpillar propulsion device are carried out by means of traction electric motors (TEM). The aim of the use of electromechanical transmission in tracked machines is to increase the tractive-dynamic properties and fuel economy and, as a result, to improve the mobility of the machine. The combination of an internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machines in a caterpillar machine (CM) makes it possible to maximize the advantages of the latter and compensate for the disadvantages of each. These improvements are achieved mainly through the different performance characteristics of the traction electric engine (TEE) and the energy storage device (ESD).Research methods. A system analysis served as the basis for the theoretical studies. A mathematical model of the motion of a tracked vehicle with an electromechanical transmission has been developed. The methods of the theory of algorithms were used.Results. A structural diagram of the arrangement of a series connection of elements of an electromechanical transmission of a tracked vehicle, protected by a patent of the Russian Federation, has been developed and presented. An algorithm has been developed for the interaction of its elements taking into account the movement of the machine. The main mathematical relationships included in the methodology for substantiating the operational characteristics of a tracked vehicle with an electromechanical transmission are presented.Discussion and conclusion. Using the developed approaches and methodology, it will be possible to calculate the components of the electromechanical transmission in order to ensure the required mobility of the caterpillar machine, to assess its fuel economy, as well as its maximum and average speed.

Full textAbstract:
Dr. Kazumasa Iwamoto, National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management, Japan, is interested in the history of the modernization of Japan and how this was influenced by an influx of innovations and Western philosophies. His analyses of urban space formation involve a historical approach, as well as civil engineering and architecture techniques and an awareness of technology's contributions. Iwamoto's work is novel as research themes linking civil engineering and history are unusual. He is exploring the planning and design influences of other countries, including how the planning and urban theory of Dutch engineers influenced the formation of urban infrastructure in modern Japan. In one project, Iwamoto and the collaborator investigated the role of Dutch civil engineering in modern port planning in Japan over the period of the 1870s to the 1890s by studying original Dutch and Japanese documents including investigative reports, design drawings, and survey maps, and then exploring the transfer of civil engineering techniques for port planning through three case studies. Through this research, they found that Dutch civil engineers had a significant impact on Japanese port planning through technological innovation, an example of which is the construction of artificial basins. The researchers are also investigating transport, including electric tramways and hydroelectricity, in Wakayama prefecture, and how this played a role in the industrialization of Wakayama and its development as a tourist resort.

Full textAbstract:
During the operation of road-building and earth-moving machinery, their working bodies are subjected to the greatest wear, in particular: crowns of rippers, blades of dumps, teeth of excavator buckets. The limiting state of parts is characterized by a 2535 % loss of mass of worn elements of working bodies that have direct contact with the ground. Rejected during repair parts are sent for recycling or restoration. The service life of some of the most loaded parts when working with heavy soils is several hours. The need for crowns for earthmoving equipment from enterprises involved in road construction and quarrying in the Far East region is measured in tens of thousands of pieces per year. Replenishment of stocks of wear parts makes it necessary to implement complex logistics schemes due to the remoteness of facilities from the centers of production of parts, and is always accompanied by significant costs. Therefore, the problem of restoring and strengthening worn crowns of rippers and teeth of excavator buckets is very relevant. Various industrial and scientific organizations have been solving this problem for a long time, and quite good results in this direction were obtained after a number of developments at the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute in the direction of the method of electroslag facing (ESF). Based on this method, various technological processes for the restoration of massive parts were created. The use of ESF allows not only to restore parts with significant wear, but also to obtain the corresponding design requirements or improved functional properties. These, when restoring the working bodies of construction and road vehicles, will increase their durability. The paper considers the possibility of restoring worn crowns of working bodies of earth-moving vehicles by the ESF method, using ore concentrates mined in the Far East as alloying additives.

The article is devoted to the study of the experience to develop the ecological hotel business in European countries on the possibilities of its use in Ukraine. The formation of ecological hotels concept is aimed at a quality system of comfortable living in harmony with the environment and allows to outline the features of the ecological hotel. These features include: a system for saving resources; use of alternative energy sources; minimization of chemical reagents used; application of bactericidal methods that decompose dirt and waste; reducing or preventing the use of allergens; high-quality utilization of waste and garbage; use of completely closed systems for water and air regeneration; catering with certified products and purified water. The interior design of ecological hotels, which is based on the use of "natural" colors and recycled materials, is no exception for eco-hotels. A unique approach is to adhere to the philosophy of abandonment of electronic devices. The availability of eco-labels in ecological hotels increases its attractiveness to potential customers, and the use of ecological certification includes the coverage area and objects of certification. The international program of voluntary environmental certification of hotel business enterprises "Green Key" and the activities of the association BIO HOTELS, whose experience is appropriate to use in the hotel and restaurant business of Ukraine, are analyzed. The advantages of the latter are determined: construction biology and use of natural building materials; regionality and seasonality of organic products; availability of certified organic and natural cosmetics and hygiene products only; complete waste recycling; exclusion of plastic use; environmental electricity; availability of electronic charging stations for electric vehicles. To support environmentally sound operation, the independent experts carry out the inspection and draw up a climate balance sheet, in which the company's own CO2 emissions are recorded. The association aims to define its climate-positive activities, combined with common goals and ideas. Promoting the idea of environmentally friendly organic origin and living in accordance with this goal distinguishes BIO HOTELS among other associations that exist in Europe. The environmental field covers all spheres of life and business in Europe, and trends in this development are rapidly supported by Ukrainian hospitality enterprises. The creation of hotel enterprises' associations and the possibility of creating such associations in Ukraine are considered. Keywords: ecological hotel business, ecological hotels, eco-labeling, ecological certification, climate balance, association of hotel enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid processes of global motorization, which Ukraine has not avoided, have a growing impact on various aspects of modern society, on the formation of a new urban environment and transport system. At the same time, to create favorable conditions for Ukraine's integration into the EU needs to address infrastructural issues: the systematic organization of facilities for storing cars in general in cities with the provision of their architecture- accessibility, versatility, economy, energy efficiency and more. First of all, this applies to the largest cities, where about 45% of the total urban population of the state live. An acute urban and transport problem is the problem associated with the allocation of areas for transport facilities: parking lots (garages), gas stations, service stations and other car service facilities. In the absence of free space, the cost of urban land increases. Based on this, there is an urgent need to develop modern methods and techniques that allow more efficient use of land resources. One of the possible methods of solving the problem of organizing parking lots is to build them into the lower floors of public buildings for various purposes. The generalization of foreign and domestic design and construction practices made it possible to determine that one of the first examples of built-in parking lots (garages) are two 60-storey residential and office centers in Chicago (USA) on the shores of Lake Michigan, called Marina City (1964). The construction of these centers gave impetus to the architectural and planning organization of buildings and structures for the rational solution of parking in the lower above-ground floors of residential buildings and public buildings and structures. The article summarizes foreign and domestic practice of designing and building such parking lots. It is determined that with a high density of buildings in Ukrainian cities, the method of embedding in the lower floors of public buildings and structures is developing. This reception will be in demand especially in the transition of vehicles to electric vehicles. At the same time, the analysis of domestic regulations on the placement of parking lots revealed the absence of provisions on the possibility of embedding them in the lower above-ground floors of public buildings and structures. However, in the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) countries and in the developed countries of the world, such provisions exist, which helps to increase the level of comfort of public services and allows rational and intensive use of the city. Based on the results of research and suggestions, it should be noted that the practice of design and construc- tion reveals the possibility of applying the existing requirements of current state building codes of Ukraine for underground garages, which should be extended and for car parks (garages) located on the lower above-ground floors of other buildings, in particular public buildings. This requires changes and additions to the current urban planning, typological and fire regulations, which are planned to be developed on the basis of this study.

Full textAbstract:
The configuration and control strategy of hybrid powertrain systems are significant for the development of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) because they significantly affect their comprehensive performance. In this paper, the types, features, and applications of the mainstream hybrid powertrain configurations on the market in recent years are summarized and the effects of different configurations on the comprehensive performance of HEVs are compared. Moreover, the technical routes for each hybrid configuration are highlighted, as configuration optimization methods have become a technical difficulty. In addition, the technological advances in the steady-state energy management strategy and dynamic coordinated control strategy for hybrid powertrain systems are studied. The optimization of the steady-state energy management strategy mainly involves assigning the working point and working range of each power source reasonably. However, with the increase in the complexity of optimization algorithms, real-time control of HEVs still needs to be improved. The optimization of the dynamic coordinated control strategy mainly focuses on the stability and smoothness of the dynamic process involving switching and shifting the working mode. The optimization of the dynamic control process for the system remains to be further improved. It is pointed out that the configurations and strategies should be optimized jointly to obtain a comprehensive improvement in the system performance. This paper provides an informative basis and technical support for the design and optimization of a hybrid powertrain system.

Purpose Whilst the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables offers significant environmental benefits, the other transition – from a centralised to a distributed energy system – underpins a disruptive model for planning cities, towns and villages. A local energy micro-grid can power a local water micro-grid, which in turn can irrigate a local food system, offering a community the opportunity to harvest, store and distribute food, water and energy within their immediate catchment. A distributed network of regenerative villages, connected virtually and with shared electric vehicles is offered as an alternative vision for future cities. The paper aims to justify this as a preferred model for human settlements and develop an implementation process. Design/methodology/approach This paper asks: Is it inevitable that large cities will keep growing, while rural communities will continue to be deprived of resources and opportunities? Is the flow of people into cities inevitable? To answer this question, the adopted methodology is to take a systems approach, observing town planning processes from a range of different disciplines and perspectives. Findings By contrasting the current centralising city model with a distributed network of villages, this paper offers ten reasons why the distributed network is preferable to centralisation. Research limitations/implications It is argued that in this time of dramatic technological upheaval, environmental destruction and social inequality, business-as-usual is unacceptable in any field of human endeavour. This paper presents a sketch outlining a new human settlement theory, a different way of living on the land. It is an invitation to academics and practitioners to participate in a debate. Originality/value The information and energy revolutions, both distributed systems, are reshaping cities.

Full textAbstract:
Achieving emissions reductions to reach economywide net-zero emissions by 2050 will require sustained technological innovations and widespread deployment of emerging low-carbon technologies that are not yet commercially deployed on a mass-market scale. Tax credits are an important policy tool for supporting the early-stage deployment of emerging technologies as well as more mature technologies that have not yet reached widespread deployment. While existing federal tax credits have played an important role in enabling the deployment of several low-carbon technologies, including wind, solar, and electric vehicles, they also suffer from critical design deficiencies that make them less effective. This paper proposes six considerations for designing the next generation of federal tax credits that can support deployment of clean energy and low-carbon technologies in the U.S. power, transportation, industrial, and buildings sectors. Within each consideration, the paper lays out different approaches and discusses the tradeoffs between each.

The authors examine the effect of three country-level Hofstede measures of culture and two national-level innovation characteristics on the diffusion of Sustainable New Technology-based Products (SNTP).Design/methodology/approachRegression and Necessary Conditions Analysis were used to analyze a panel dataset of electric and hybrid vehicles sales from 2008 to 2017 across 89 countries.FindingsResults suggest Long-Term Orientation (LTO) was correlated with SNTP diffusion, Indulgence (IVR) was partially correlated with SNTP diffusion and was also a necessary condition. Surprisingly, Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI) was not correlated with SNTP diffusion. In addition, a national proclivity for developing innovations and a history of utilizing prior generic innovations were both correlated and necessary for SNTP diffusion.Originality/valueThis paper measures the impact of several macro-level variables (culture and other innovation related characteristics of countries) on SNTP diffusion. In addition to regression analyses to measure the average effect size, the authors conduct Necessary Conditions Analysis, which assesses the necessity of a variable for the outcome. These insights may help multinational companies better strategize entry decisions for international markets and aid governments in formulating more effective policies by recognizing and accommodating the influences of national culture and innovation attitudes.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeDue to technological improvement and development of the vehicle-to-home (V2H) concept, electric vehicle (EV) can be considered as an active component of net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs). However, to achieve more dependable results, proper energy analysis is needed to take into consideration the stochastic behavior of renewable energy, energy consumption in the building and vehicle use pattern. This study aims to stochastically model a building integrating photovoltaic panels as a microgeneration technology and EVs to meet NZEB requirements.Design/methodology/approachFirst, a multiobjective nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) was developed to optimize the building energy performance considering panels installed on the façade. Next, a dynamic solution is implemented in MATLAB to stochastically model electricity generation using solar panels as well as building and EV energy consumption. Besides, the Monte Carlo simulation method is used for quantifying the uncertainty of NZEB performance. To investigate the impact of weather on both energy consumption and generation, the model is tested in five different climatic zones in Iran.FindingsThe results show that the stochastic simulation provides building designers with a variety of convenient options to select the best design based on level of confidence and desired budget. Furthermore, economic evaluation signifies that investing in all studied cities is profitable.Originality/valueConsidering the uncertainty in building energy demand and PV power generation as well as EV mobility and the charging–discharging power profile for evaluating building energy performance is the main contribution of this study.
