Abstract

Lightning strikes are a serious risk for high-risk facilities like oil and gas plants, mines, explosive storage, and data centers. These places hold the sensitive equipment and dangerous materials, and a lightning strike can cause major damage, leading to expensive downtime or even disastrous events such as fires or explosions. That’s why having a strong lightning protection system is not just a matter of following rules, but it is crucial for protecting both people and property. The complete lightning protection solutions designed to meet the specific needs of these critical industries. The services include lightning simulations and both isolated and attached lightning protection systems. This study investigates the real-time installation and testing of advanced lightning protection systems across high-risk industries like oil and gas plants, mines, explosive storage, and data centers. This ensures that the facility stays safe and continues to operate, even during severe weather. By investing in an effective lightning protection system, you can help secure your assets and keep everyone safe, focusing on what really matters in your industry.

Abstract

The intelligent management of gear shifting in electric and hybrid vehicles (EVs and HEVs) is essential for optimizing energy efficiency, improving fuel economy, and enhancing driving comfort. Traditional gear shifting strategies, which are designed for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, do not fully accommodate the unique dynamics of electric and hybrid powertrains. This paper proposes a novel approach for gear shifting in EVs and HEVs, integrating the state of charge (SOC%) of the battery as a critical input for decision-making. The proposed algorithm utilizes real-time data from the vehicle's controller area network (CAN), enabling seamless communication between the transmission control unit, battery management system, and powertrain control module. The algorithm adjusts gear shifting based on SOC%, vehicle speed, engine RPM, and throttle position, ensuring optimal use of the electric motor and internal combustion engine. At high SOC%, the algorithm prioritizes electric motor use to conserve fuel and extend battery life, while at lower SOC%, it switches to relying more on the combustion engine. The proposed method optimizes energy usage, enhances fuel efficiency, and prolongs battery life by adapting the shifting strategy to varying driving conditions.
