MyEnergi Lifestyle, a Ford Motor Company collaboration with Eaton, Infineon, SunPower and Whirlpool, retrofitted the homes of two families with energy-efficient appliances and solar panels, as well as providing the families with their own Ford C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid vehicle.
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is a member of a team that was recently awarded a $7-million contract from the US Army Corps of Engineers to demonstrate integration of electric vehicles, generators and solar arrays to supply emergency power for Fort Carson, Colo. Demonstration (JCTD) called the Smart Power Infrastructure.
At Consumer Electronics Show Asia, Ford launched a strategic collaboration with Haier (home appliance), Trina Solar (solarpower) and Delta Electronics (power management) to introduce MyEnergi Lifestyle ( earlier post ) to China, a holistic approach for lowering the energy costs and carbon footprint of Chinese families.
The bidirectional charging units are capable of providing up to 300 kW of power to plug-in electric vehicles and also can discharge a like amount of stored energy from the vehicle batteries to the grid or microgrid via Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard J1772-compliant bidirectional charging cables.
The new ARPA-E selections focus on accelerating innovations in clean technology while increasing US competitiveness in rare earth alternatives and breakthroughs in biofuels, thermal storage, grid controls, and solarpower electronics. Solar ADEPT: Solar Agile Delivery of Electrical Power Technology ($14.7
But except for the state of Colorado, the other 11 states accounted for from 0% to 1.7% These 12 “coal” states combined for a total of 10% of 2020 EV sales, but without the outlying state of Colorado at 4.3%, the other 11 states would account for only 5.7% of US EV sales in 2020. of US EV sales in 2020.
Department of Energy (DOE), the growing demand from plug-in electric vehicles and many other technologies that require electricity could increase the load on our powergrids by up to 38% by 2050. Power companies and government agencies are working hard to meet this demand, but it’s a challenging task. How Does V2G Work?
Department of Energy campaign to explore the feasibility of solar-power satellites , which, it was proposed, would one day harvest sunlight in space and beam the energy down to Earth as microwaves. Indeed, efficiencies can exceed 70 percent, more than double that of a typical solar cell. At the U.S.
If successful, the team will greatly increase transformer functionality and reduce size over current technologies, affecting application areas like grid energy storage, solar photovoltaics and electric vehicle fast chargers, while also enabling better grid monitoring and easy retrofits. University of Colorado Boulder.
2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our powergrid. IEEE Spectrum did its best to cover those developments, and these were the stories that our readers liked best.
There are choices for 110 volt versus 220 volt, slow versus quick charges, and solar options. will become less common over the next 10-years and that a mix of alternative fuel vehicles including electric, biofuel, hydrogen and solar will and is now seeing tremendous market growth. Stocks Yet Quick Read Warning: U.S.
Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the powergrid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. power-grid transmission.
To date, the TCF has funded more than 380 projects by unlocking more than $170 million in funding from more than 300 private sector partners, including automotive manufacturers, energy storage companies, utilities, bioenergy companies, solar providers, and aerospace companies. First Solar Inc. Santa Clara, California).
