DOE to award up to $180M for offshore wind demo projects; targeting lowering levelized cost of energy (LCOE) below 10ยข/kWh

Green Car Congress

DOE is focusing this latest research and demonstration initiative on innovative technologies that will achieve large cost reductions over existing offshore wind technologies. LCOE is the sum of all annual costs divided by the amount of electricity produced per year.). waters in the most rapid and responsible manner possible; and.

Fraunhofer analysis finds battery-electric trucks have energy cost advantage over hydrogen trucks

Green Car Congress

The energy cost advantage of battery-electric trucks is the key to a rapid switch to e-trucks, because fuel and energy costs account for the largest share of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for intensively used commercial vehicles. They exceed the purchase costs many times over.

OpenADR: A Bridge Between EV Fleets and the Grid

EV Connect

As the costs of climate change and the price of oil both become too high to bear, auto manufacturers will shift more of their vehicle fleets to electric. As it stands, the power grid is already run-down and outdated , built for the electric loads of a century ago, not for modern life. What Is OpenADR?

How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.

Digital Twins Give Hydrogen a Greener Path to Growth

Cars That Think

In order for hydrogen to be a viable source of clean energy, the cost of electrolysis needs to be much lower. Sharaf Alsharif, a researcher at the Oldenburger OFFIS Institute for Information Technology in Oldenburg, Germany, believes digital twins could help bring down the cost of clean hydrogen production.
