ORNL demos 20 kW bi-directional wireless charging on UPS PHEV truck; 11" air gap, >92% efficiency

Green Car Congress

With its bi-directional design, the system also supports use of the vehicle’s batteries for energy storage. Doing so would give energy flexibility to a fleet owner’s business, and help better manage on-site generation such as solar power. UPS appreciates the Department of Energy’s support on this effort.

ARPA-E awards $33M to 13 intermediate-temp fuel cell projects; converting gaseous hydrocarbons to liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

This design will include a novel electrolyte membrane system that transports oxygen in a form that allows it to react directly with almost any fuel. The fuel cell will use new metal-oxide electrode materials with superior energy storage capacity and cycling stability, making it ideal for distributed generation systems.
