Mitici, M.A. (author), Hennink, Birgitte (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Dong, J. (author)The health management of batteries is a key enabler for the adoption of Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing vehicles (eVTOLs). Currently, few studies consider the health management of eVTOL batteries. One distinct characteristic of batteries for eVTOLs is that the discharge rates are significantly larger during take-off and landing, compared...journal article 2023

Zhang, Xiang (author), Blaauboer, M. (author)We theoretically investigate the enhancement of the charging power in a Dicke quantum battery which consists of an array of N two-level systems (TLS)coupled to a single mode of cavity photons. In the limit of small N, we analytically solve the time evolution for the full charging process. The eigenvectors of the driving Hamiltonian are found...journal article 2023

Tang, Chen (author), Tukker, Arnold (author), Sprecher, B. (author), Mogollón, José M. (author)The European Union (EU) has set a 37.5% GHG reduction target in 2030 for the mobility sector, relative to 1990 levels. This requires increasing the share of zero-emission passenger vehicles, mainly in the form of electric vehicles (EVs). This study calculates future GHG emissions related to passenger vehicle manufacturing and use based on...review 2023
