Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a methodologically sound instrument to assess the long-term penetration of innovative propulsion systems vis á vis the technologies that currently dominate the market. Towards this end, it simulates the diffusion process of four propulsion [...]

Abstract

International audience; This paper deals with an energy management improvement based on frequency sharing approach for an electric vehicle. In order to satisfy the traction/propulsion system requirement, the Fuel cell (FC) system is assisted by lithium-ion batteries and Supercapacitors [...]

Abstract

The narrow-gauge locomotive ‘Hydrogen Pioneer’, which was developed and constructed at the University of Birmingham, was employed to establish the performance of a hydrogen-hybrid railway traction vehicle. To achieve this several empirical tests were conducted. The locomotive [...]

Abstract

Micro-cogeneration is a developed technology aiming to produce electricity and heat close to the final users, with the potential, if designed and operated correctly, to reduce both the primary energy consumption as well as the associated greenhouse gas emissions when compared to [...]

Abstract

The automotive industry has proposed and announced a number of technological innovations to reduce the environmental impact of transport. Whereas initially many of the proposed technologies were surrounded by very optimistic expectations, many technological innovations are not commercially [...]

Abstract

Turksoy, Omer/0000-0003-4620-4503 WOS: 000492797300026 The energy efficiency of the battery charging system directly affects the distance which electric vehicles can get with per charge process. In addition, reducing current harmonics distortion (THD) increases the electrical quality [...]

Abstract

This work will show the coupling of a 6 kWel SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) system developed by AVL using a stack module from Fraunhofer IKTS with a 5 kWcold absorption chiller developed by Graz University of Technology. The exhaust gas heat from the SOFC which is available at >200 [...]

Abstract

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are expected to play an important role in the future and thus have improved significantly over the past years. Hydrogen fuel cell motorcycles with a small container for compressed hydrogen gas have been developed in Japan along with related regulations. [...]
