European Researchers Developing Multifunctional Structural Composite Material That Can Double as Energy Storage

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 5, 2010

Researchers from Imperial College London and their European partners, including Volvo Car Corporation, are developing a prototype multifunctional structural composite material composed of carbon fibers and a polymer resin which can store and discharge electrical energy and which is also strong and lightweight enough to be used for car parts.

The power electronics converts the direct current (DC) stored in the battery to alternating current (AC). Higher levels of regen allow the driver to slow the vehicle almost to a stop (with “B”), while recharging the battery. One is the five different levels of regenerative brake settings, described above. Braunschweig battery plant.
