Eaton Corporation is collaborating with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) on a prototype integrated solar-assisted electric vehicle charging station to be erected at EPRI’s research laboratory in Knoxville, Tenn. Source: EPRI. Simple block diagram of the SMART system.
The trial was conducted by Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in partnership with ClearFlame and Duke Energy. There’s a clear need in the power generation market for reliable clean power to supplement and complement EV grids, whether during episodic black-outs, daily peak power periods or when a rapid recharge is required.
The new technology, which builds on Ford technologies such as SYNC, SmartGauge with EcoGuide and Ford Work Solutions—allows the vehicle operator to program when to recharge the vehicle, for how long and at what utility rate. Ford’s key partners in this effort include: Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Earlier post.).
G oogle proved it is serious about Plug Ins with its new Recharge IT initiative. Here is part of the story. Google.org to to Accelerate Plug-In Hybrid and Vehicle-to-Grid Technology Google.org , the philanthropic arm of Google Inc.
Eaton will work with grant recipient South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and other affiliates, including the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI), Altec Industries, Compact Power Inc., Mark Duvall, director of Electric Transportation at EPRI. This will represent the largest deployment of commercial PHEVs to date.
This novel high energy battery concept is based upon a closed loop system in which the zinc (anode), suspended as slurry in a storage tank, is transported through reaction tubes (cathode) to facilitate the discharge and recharge of the battery. Solid State Lithium Battery : Solid State All Inorganic Rechargeable Lithium Batteries.
Here's one of the announcements that came out of the conference : EPRI, GM, 34 Utilities Collaborate to Advance Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. Additionally, research released last year by EPRI and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) pointed to the potential of PHEVs to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
California’s electricity capacity could recharge as many as 4 million plug-in hybrids when charged during off-peak hours when electricity use is low. The converted plug-in hybrids recharge their batteries through a standard 110-volt household outlet and charge in five to six hours for a 5 kWh lithium-ion battery.
Wireless Charging enables the customer the ability to have “transparent” recharging of plug-in electric vehicle—EV, combustion engine (IC) PHEV, fuel cell (FC) PHEV—through a seamless connection to the EVSE charger and automated charging process. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); and US Department of Transportation (DOT).
Instead it will serve as a generator to recharge and top off two trays of batteries that power a large electric motor mounted to the drive wheels. Unlike hybrid passenger cars such as the Toyota Prius, which do not use plug-in power to recharge, the bus can use the same type of outlet as a stove or clothes dryer.
Indeed, the EPRI study's summary clearly states that annual and cumulative greenhouse gas emissions in every one of the nine electricity production and plug-in use scenarios considered (lotsof coal to little or no coal, lots of PHEVs to few of them) would be " reduced significantly."
SCAQMD/EPRI/Via Motors: PHEV vans and pickups. INL suggested two reasons for this: first, Volt drivers tend to deplete their batteries fully, while LEAF drivers favored recharging with significant charge resident in their batteries. Chevrolet Volts: extended range electric vehicles (EREVs). Between 1 Jan. 2011, and 31 Dec.
J2464 (Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) Safety And Abuse Testing), which is a. Noting that while it was far from ideal to have two major approaches, Kissel said the global automotive industry would work around it. J2464: Battery Pack and Capacitor Pack Safety.
Infrastructure, recharging and business models. The charging infrastructure area will be a difficult one for businesses, noted Mark Duvall, Director Electric Transportation, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), in his session. There are a lot of very important decisions coming up in this space.
Plug-ins could be recharged by plugging into a standard wall socket, delivering “electric” gallons of gas for about 75 cents a gallon at prevailing electric rates. According to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), half the cars in the U.S. are driven just 25 miles a day or less. “A
Along with other national leaders in the PHEV movement, including Dr. Andy Frank and Mark Duvall of EPRI , I spoke to the need to fund battery research and demonstration vehicles. The energy, economic and air quality gains could be dramatic, benefiting individual consumers and the entire U.S.
This new technology allows the vehicle operator to program when to recharge the vehicle, for how long and at what utility rate. The owner uses the vehicle’s touch screen navigation interface and Ford Work Solutions in-dash computer to choose when the vehicle should recharge, for how long and at what utility rate.
Heres our three-paragaph summary and a link to the first of several postings on the subject at CalCars-News : July 2007 EPRI-NRDC Definitive Study: PHEVs Will Reduce Emissions If Broadly Adopted The EPRI-NRDC studies finally give an environmental stamp of approval to PHEVs. See CalCars-News Archive for updates.
Small long-term evaluation program, including modeling of vehicle-to-grid building benefits and economics, begun with Southern California Edison, joined by EPRI, other utilities, US DOE. Volvo Ford-owned company exploring PHEVs "ReCharge" flex-fuel series 60-mile concept PHEV w/wheel motors. Ford Escape PHEV-40 around 2012.
Further, experts say EV owners must expect to pay less to recharge than they do to fill up with unleaded, regardless of the source or speed of that electricity. Greenlots has been acquired by Royal Dutch Shell, and combined with Europe's NewMotion, is changing its name to Shell Recharge Solutions.
