The Impact of the Electric Vehicle Transition on U.S. Grid Infrastructure and energy policy Alec J. Ernst, Cooper R. Wade, David G. Dyer, Daniel K. Boakye Danquah, Olusegun S. Tomomewo American Journal of Energy Research. 2023 11 (1). doi: 10.12691/ajer-11-1-1 Keywords: energy, efficiency, sustainability, grid infrastructure, electric vehicles, policy, charging and discharging, internal combustion engine, lithium-ion batteries Context: Vehicles have become a necessity to modern life, with ICEVs continuing to dominate the industry. The vast infrastructure surrounding ICEVs allows for reliable transportation. Recently, priorities have shifted to climate change becoming a top agenda. At the same time electric vehicle technology has advanced to emerging into the market at a reasonable price, with increased safety and reliability. Limitations surrounding the deployment of EV technology at market scale, is the capability of the current infrastructure, technology, cost, and the end user assuming technology accountability without incentive. In this study, the impact on electric vehicle technology, the advancement of Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) batteries, and its impact on the grid will be analyzed for use in the United States at a large scale for grid readiness. Three key areas will be examined to bridge the gap between the current state of Li-ion battery EV technology and grid infrastructure and where this technology needs to meet future demand. These areas include understanding the driving factors for the need to change to e-mobility. The second is to identify and examine the roadmap linking Li-ion technology to grid design and recommendation for resolving the negative impact on grid infrastructure. The third is to evaluate the pathway forward in emerging Li-ion battery storage and technology to meet consumer needs. Results of this study show the benefits of transitioning the transportation market from ICEV to EV is considered favorable. Abstract Full Text (PDF) [Epub] Full Text (HTML)

Quantum Movement Theory of Alternating Current Cooper R. Wade, Olusegun S. Tomomewo American Journal of Energy Research. 2023 11 (1). doi: 10.12691/ajer-11-1-4 Keywords: alternating current, electric, electron, energy movement, quantum movement theory, energy policy Context: The most common way to evaluate the flow of electricity in a wire is via a load flow analysis, however; there is another way to view this behavior utilizing the Quantum Movement Theory proposed and discussed herein. This theory evaluates the movement of the charge carrier, the electron, within a conductor to register a specific amount of current in an alternating current system. Historically, the understanding of electricity flow on the electric grid has been based upon the previously popular direct current system of the 1880’s. This research evaluates how electrons as both a particle and a wave move through conductors on the interconnected grid. Two mathematical applications comprising the; 1) volume of electrons moving in a conductor, and 2) the distance traveled by electrons in a conductor, are developed and explained within this article. The application of the equations and understandings contained herein can be applied to quantum mechanics within conductors on the modern electric grid comprised of alternating current equipment, as well as policy regulating such resources.
