How to Hasten India’s Transition Away From Coal

Cars That Think

Greenhouse gas emissions will certainly grow too, because India’s energy generation is dominated by fossil fuels—coal-fired power plants for electricity, coal- and gas-fired furnaces for industrial heating, liquid petroleum gas for cooking, and gasoline and diesel for transportation. costs less than fossil-fuel-based electricity.

How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Second, conventional coal and nuclear plants are being retired for economic and policy reasons, removing stable sources from the grid. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the power grid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. power-grid transmission. year grid study from the U.S.

Modelling the Impact of PHEVs on Ozone in Denver

Green Car Congress

This study models a single urban area with a finer grid resolution (4 km) than has been considered in previous PHEV studies, and also incorporates plume-in-grid treatment for improved tracking of plume dispersion. Article ASAP doi: 10.1021/es101076c. Brinkman et al. For other areas, where PM2.5 Brinkman, Paul Denholm, Michael P.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

US $5 PER KILOGRAM Cost of green hydrogen today. Almost all hydrogen produced today is designated as brown, black, or gray, meaning it was generated by burning natural gas or coal. There are no standard procedures for doing this in a tiny, automated, and isolated grid, so we are trying to devise some.

A closer look at minimizing AC charging losses: From the breaker to EV (Part 1)

Charged EVs

In this article we’ll be taking a closer look at ways to minimize charging losses that are under the control of either the manufacturer or the owner of the EV (in other words, excluding things like changing the electrical generation source from coal to nuclear or solar, as helpful as that would be). circuit breaker ?

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.
