Eaton introduces DC-DC converters for 48V commercial vehicle architectures

Green Car Congress

We’re delighted to deliver power-conversion technology designed specifically to meet the demands of commercial vehicle electrical systems. The bi-directional unit then further reduces the power to 12 volts for use in low-voltage systems and charges a 12-volt battery that stores power in case of a fault in the main power supply.

Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

In comparison, the Brayton cycle has a theoretical conversion efficiency upwards of 50%. We’ve been striving to get here for a number of years, and to be able to demonstrate that we can connect our system through a commercial device to the grid is the first bridge to more efficient electricity generation.

New plasma synthesis process for one-step conversion of CO2 and methane into higher value fuel and chemicals

Green Car Congress

Instead of using H 2 , direct conversion of CO 2 with CH 4 (dry reforming of methane, DRM) to liquid fuels and chemicals (e.g. The DBD reactor was connected to an AC high voltage power supply with a maximum peak voltage of 30 kV and a variable frequency of 7-12 kHz. In this work, the frequency was fixed at 9 kHz.

Ballard and Forsee Power to develop & commercialize integrated fuel cell & battery solutions for heavy-duty hydrogen mobility

Green Car Congress

The fuel cell module, which is powered by hydrogen stored in tanks on the vehicle, produces electricity which is supplied to the electric powertrain. As part of the strategic relationship, Ballard is committing to participate as a cornerstone lead investor (up to €40 million) in connection with the proposed IPO of Forsee.

Electric Vehicle Charging Principle

Setec Powerr

Wireless charging is to automatically connect to the grid for charging and discharging through the wireless charging source board embedded in the road and parking space without using wires and cables. In short, lithium-ion batteries store and release energy through chemical reactions. How does a lithium-ion battery work?
