In order to achieve the goals for energy efficiency, energy flexibility and grid stability, the opportunities arising from the digitization of energy networks must be consistently exploited. However, today’s production grids are powered by alternating current—which has to be converted.
The 8 BREAKERS projects will work to develop new direct current (DC) devices to better manage power by eliminating electrical faults, improving efficiency and reaction times, and potentially enabling greater proliferation of energystorage and renewable resources.
Fuel economy and electrical energy usage will not be combined under J1711 to make a composite efficiency metric for plug-in hybrids. Instead, fuel usage and watt-hours per mile will be stated separately, with the baseline charging assumption being one energystorage charge per day for each vehicle being tested. laboratories.
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, energystorage companies, utilities, bioenergy companies, solar providers, and aerospace companies. National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Framatome Inc.
