Power Electronics in Electric and Hybrid Vehicles 2014 Report by Yole Develo...Yole Developpement
A $16B market by 2023, a change of business model, and significant technical changes: how will electric and hybrid vehicles change the power electronics industry?
EV/HEV MARKET: A BURGEONING MARKET FULL OF PROMISES AND UNCERTAINTIES
Electric and hybrid vehicles have been presented as a huge market over the last few years, but in 2013 only 100K 100% electric vehicles were sold, and only 2M EV/HEV cars in total. For 2014, technological and architectural upgrades have been made and are ready to deploy, but the most important need is still to convince the end-user to change their habits and transition to an EV/HEV.
Charging infrastructure development, battery cost reduction and power density increase are pushing the EV/HEV market forward. Moreover, as the market grows and the technology develops, the price difference between EV/HEV vehicles and gas-powered vehicles will progressively shrink, thus further accelerating EV/HEV market advancement. Also, governmental restrictions on CO2 output are becoming increasingly aggressive worldwide (58mpg for the United States in 2025, and in 2020 for Europe). For all of these reasons, we expect end-users to be swayed by electric energy’s low cost and governmental incentives, making the EV/HEV market very attractive. In this report you will find a detailed analysis of markets by type, as well as an analysis of the positive and negative trends impacting the EV/HEV market.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

gasoline, $1.50-2.00+ vs diesel.
• Major difference between crude oil
and natural gas as % of total fuel
cost

23. Translating Abundance into Savings
One MMBtu is ~8.0 GGE of (uncompressed) natural gas
One MMBtu is ~7.2 DGE of (uncompressed) natural gas.
If average MMBtu is ~$4.75; commodity % is $.59/GGE
($.66/DGE) . Add gas company delivery, compression,
maintenance, equipment amortization: ~$1.45-1.65/GGE
($1.63 -1.85/DGE) + fed and state taxes. LNG pricing derived
differently but base gas cost is same

30. Q: How Do We Solve
The “Chicken & Egg” Conundrum?
(A: Make a chicken-egg omelet*)
• Throughput (sales volume) is key to generating economies of
scale for the public access station owner, thus allowing pump
price differentials that drive reasonable payback and life-cycle
savings for customers
• Minimum load thresholds vary based on a variety of factors
including: station type, station size, fuel price differential, ability to
amortize maintenance costs, equipment depreciation, grants
…..ROI expectations
• Achieve minimum load thresholds by:
– Identifying an anchor fleet that justifies the investment…or
– Aggregate several semi-anchor fleets’ loads if their depots or operating
areas are geographically acceptable…or
– Create retail public access for small fleets and consumers….or
31. Station Options
• Station Location Options:
– Offsite – use existing public access station if
available, convenient and of sufficient capacity.
Anchor fleets or ‘pooled loads’ create economies
of scale.
– Onsite - private access only or with public
access “outside the fence”
• Different ownership & operations options
available depending on throughput,
funding:
– Fleet owned & operated station
– Outsource station O&O entirely via independent
fuel provider and contract gas price
– Fleet owned/leased station but contracted out
32. CNG Station Design Considerations
• How Much Fuel in How Much Time?
– Vehicles/day, fuel/vehicle, fueling patterns
– Maximum daily flow, maximum hourly flow,
targeted fueling time per hose
– Back-up fueling availability? Redundancy
• Real estate concerns
– Proximity to major travel routes
– Vehicle needs (entry/egress patterns)
– Equipment footprint
– Site development issues
• Equipment needs/performance/cost
– Balance of compression and storage
– Gas service (volumes/pressures, moisture)
– Electric service (kVa, etc)
– Dispensers and fuel management needs
33. “Crystal Ball” for 2014
– Vehicles: 25K “new” NGVs will hit the road
• Moderate LDV sales growth due to new OEM offerings and
better coordinated marketing/sales throughout their sales
channels, SVM’s continued limited offerings of commercial
(economically viable) LDV options
• MDV sales will hedge on effort placed against the local
commercial services/delivery markets (step vans, COE units),
better integration of NG offering by SVMs i/c/w OEMs (FCCC,
Isuzu, UtiliMaster, etc)
• Strong HDV sales growth driven by continued solid 8.9L sales
(refuse, transit, some local haul) plus strong sales of 11.9L
units (look for 6000-7500 units - not as optimistic as all the
hype (feedback from early adopters “cautiously optimistic.” )
– Stations: ~250-300 new stations in North America
• CNG will continue to get lion’s share
• LNG will continue to capture longer haul OTR accounts
34. US Legislative/Regulatory Issues
• NGVAmerica’s Federal Legislative Priorities for US
market
– Reinstate tax credits for fueling infrastructure (30%/$100K
sought)
– Reinstate $.50/GGE fuel tax incentive
– Fix LNG motor fuels excise tax penalty
– Allow 2000lb weight exemption for HDVs for added fuel system
weight
– Eliminate 12% federal excise tax on natural gas trucks or, at
least, on the incremental cost of natural gas trucks
– CAFÉ standards and equal treatment of NGVs
• Working at state level to get some of these passed
• Hundreds of state bills/actions to incentivize NGVs
– Grants, tax credits, motor fuels excise tax provisions, other
incentives,

Most of the emerging shale resource is not remotely located from pipeline infrastructure.
Accommodating new volumes of unconventional reserves produced does require tweaking the existing pipeline , compression and other elements of infrastructure but may not require wholesale changes.
