False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.

Shipping industry eyeing hydrogen fuel cells as possible pathway to emissions reduction; work by Germanischer Lloyd and DNV

Green Car Congress

The project used a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), developed by MTU in Germany and modified for operation in a marine environment. In the current installation, the MCFC delivers power to a direct current (DC) link that is connected to the ship’s alternating current (AC) bus through power converters.
