SwRI D-EGR gasoline demo vehicle delivers diesel efficiency at lower cost; potential for LEV III/Tier 3 emissions

Green Car Congress

In their paper, the SwRI researchers reported that the conversion to D-EGR improved engine efficiency and fuel consumption at least 10% across the performance map, with some operating conditions seeing substantially higher improvements. The engine conversion. The D-EGR demonstrator is a converted 2012 Buick Regal with a 2.0-liter

Get Electric Vehicle

Impacts of Vehicle to Grid on power quality (DC – AC conversion and power injection happens) You may start as follows. For calculations and formulae, you may refer NPTEL course, then you may get some information from IEEE I guess.😊 But if you use the models available in MATLAB, then the study would be a bit easier.

A PDF version is available on IEEE Xplore. So much care was lavished on MAXC’s hardware and software that it held the all-time record for continuous availability as a node on the ARPAnet. At nearly the same time the Apple I became available, also in kit form. It appeared in the October 1985 issue of IEEE Spectrum.
