Evers, W.J. (author), van der Knaap, A. (author), Besselink, I.J.M. (author), Nijmeijer, H. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)A new design of variable geometry force actuator is presented in this paper. Based upon this design, a model is derived which is used for steady-state analysis, as well as controller design in the presence of friction. The controlled actuator model is finally used to evaluate the power consumption under worst case conditions.conference paper 2008

Kessels, J.T.B.A. (author), van den Bosch, P.P.J. (author)The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle allows vehicle propulsion from multiple internal power sources. Electric energy from the grid can be utilized by means of the plug-in connection. An on-line energy management (EM) strategy is proposed to minimize the costs for taking energy from each power source. Especially in a dynamical energy market, an on...conference paper 2008
