Harvard team develops ultrathin solid oxide fuel cell with some internal energy storage

Green Car Congress

Because fuel cells are not intrinsically capable of storing energy, when fuel supply is exhausted the energy output is interrupted. To store energy, the fuel cell could be coupled to an external charge storing device such as a battery but this increases the total weight and volume of the system.

Liquid Air Energy Network forms in UK; focus on transportation and energy storage

Green Car Congress

Air can be turned into a liquid by cooling it to around -196 °C using standard industrial equipment; 700 liters of ambient air becomes about 1 liter of liquid air, which can then be stored in an unpressurised insulated vessel. The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat.

2014 Audi R18 e-tron Quattro Le Mans racer consumes about 40% less fuel than first TDI engine at Le Mans in 2006

Green Car Congress

As before, during braking events at the front axle a Motor-Generator-Unit (MGU) recovers kinetic energy flows into a flywheel energy storage system. This energy also flows into the flywheel energy storage system. The new technology recuperates energy that has always been lost in other systems.

7 series-hybrid Solaris buses to Z?bkowice ?l?skie; supercaps for energy storage

Green Car Congress

The hybrid buses will also feature supercapacitors that make it possible to store and then use recuperated energy. This enables a substantial reduction of vehicle exhaust and noise emissions in places where the passengers dwell. Passengers will be guaranteed 37 seats on a bus.

SAE Publishes Revised J1711 Standard to Measure Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Economy of Hybrids and Plug-in Hybrids

Green Car Congress

J1711 defines an HEV for the purposed of the procedure as a road vehicle that can draw propulsion energy from both of the following sources of stored energy: A consumable fuel. A rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) that is recharged by the on-board hybrid propulsion system, an external electric energy source, or both.
