DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Hydrokinetic energy is an abundant renewable resource that can boost grid resiliency and reduce infrastructure vulnerability, but it is currently a cost prohibitive option compared to other energy generating sources. The turbine will be designed for power delivery to remote and local grids. Emrgy, Inc.

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. Pass current through the battery and “charge it” Connect the terminals to the circuit and discharge.

This Clock Made Power Grids Possible

Cars That Think

As more power stations adopted the clocks, the frequency regulation allowed them to share electricity and create an interconnected power grid. And Warren, who eventually solved the grid-frequency problem, was actually working on a different puzzle when he came across the answer. How Warren’s clocks regulated grid frequency Henry E.

Why Bidirectional Charging is The Next Big Thing for EV Owners

Wallbox

Whilst with unidirectional (one-way) EV chargers, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle, with bidirectional (two-way) EV chargers, electricity can flow both ways. This conversion is carried out by either the car’s own converter or a converter located in the charger. V2G: Vehicle to Grid.

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

Green Car Congress

In the study, the team called fuels produced by the conversion of CO 2 into liquid hydrocarbon fuels using proven technologies “synthetic fuels”, and fuels produced via a production route that uses solar energy “solar fuels”. Even in smart grid systems it can be expected that some sort of energy storage will still be needed.

Use of onboard chargers in EVs: Enhancing consumer experience | Autocar Professional

Baua Electric

Essentially, it acts like a translator, taking the language of the grid (AC) and turning it into the language of the EV battery (DC). While heavier chargers may offer faster charging speeds, this advantage comes with a trade-off – the potential inefficiency arising from increased energy losses during the conversion process.
