Ideal Power, developer of new indirect power conversion technology, prices IPO

Green Car Congress

PPSA has a 100% indirect power transfer compared to direct power transfer from conventional power converters. All the energy runs through, and is temporarily stored in, a high-frequency AC link consisting of an inductor and capacitor. The system is designed to allow power to flow in any mix among any ports with 96.5%

SAFT providing Li-ion cells for KERS systems for 5 of 12 competing F1 teams

Green Car Congress

We are aiming to establish our Li-ion batteries as the reference for Formula 1. When the F1 car brakes, a proportion of its kinetic energy is captured by an electric motor/generator (MGU) connected mechanically to the engine. This captured kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy which is stored in the Saft Li-ion cells.

Why Bidirectional Charging is The Next Big Thing for EV Owners

Wallbox

Well, when an EV is charged, AC (alternating current) electricity from the grid is converted to DC (direct current) electricity, the kind that can be used by a car. This conversion is carried out by either the car’s own converter or a converter located in the charger. V2G: Vehicle to Grid.

Continental puts first 48V hybrid assist system into production with Renault diesels

Green Car Congress

The electric motor transmits power via a belt drive directly to the crankshaft of the combustion engine—an arrangement referred to as “P0 topology.” As a result, Continental has chosen to employ the water-cooled induction motor that can be connected directly to the engine’s cooling circuit.

Study suggests energy and GHG impacts of synthetic hydrocarbon fuels from CO2 are greater than impacts of existing hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

Data for diesel, GTL, ethanol, BTL and solar hydrogen cannot be divided into the uptake of CO 2 and connected processes and are therefore aggregated.

NREL researchers capture excess photon energy to produce solar fuels; higher efficiency water-splitting for H2

Green Car Congress

We demonstrated that the same process that produces extra current in a solar cell can also be applied to produce extra chemical reactions or stored energy in chemical bonds. A salt bridge connects the two compartments and transports H + and Na +. —Matthew Beard. —Yan et al. Click to enlarge. Yong Yan, Ryan W.
