Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Schatz Energy Research Center (SERC) is now engaged in the Palm Desert Renewable Hydrogen Transportation System Project. The Project involves a consortium which includes the City of Palm Desert, SERC, the U.S. Department of Energy, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, and Sandia and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. Its goal to develop a clean and sustainable transportation system for a community will be accomplished by producing a fleet of fuel cell vehicles, installing a refueling infrastructure utilizing hydrogen generated from solar and wind power, and developing and staffing a fuel cell service and diagnostic center. We will describe details of the project and performance goals for the fuel cell vehicles and associated peripheral systems. In the past year during the first stage in the project, SERC has designed and built a prototype fuel cell powered personal utility vehicle (PUV). These steps included: (1) Designing, building, and testing a 4.0 kW proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell as a power plant for the PUV. (2) Designing, building and testing peripherals including the air delivery, fuel storage/delivery, refueling, water circulation, cooling, and electrical systems. (3) Devising a control algorithm for the fuel cell power plant in the PUV. (4) Designing and building a test bench in which running conditions in the PUV could be simulated and the fuel cell and its peripheral systems tested. (5) Installing an onboard computer and associated electronics into the PUV (6) Assembling and road testing the PUV.
Download or read book A Suite of Methodologies to Systematically Site Distributed Generation Technologies Such as Poly Generation Fuel Cells in Support of Alternative Transportation Infrastructure written by Kersey Sanchez Manliclic and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrogen fueling stations (HFS), required to support fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), are coming online in California and around the world. One technology that can leverage renewable feedstocks, such as biogas, for the production of hydrogen are Tri-Generation Fuel Cell (TGFC) systems.The drivers of this research were to: 1) project future hydrogen infrastructure needs required for FCEV deployment in the northeastern U.S. and California and 2) evaluate the economics and logistics of siting TGFC systems to support the projected hydrogen infrastructure. To achieve these goals, the methods for planning fueling infrastructure were fortified and fundamental competency in TGFCs was established. Subsequently, TGFCs in the northeastern U.S. and California were sited based on a theoretical HFS rollout in those two regions. Lastly, more exotic applications for TGFCs were assessed.With respect to fueling infrastructure planning methods, in using alternative vehicle sales registration (AVSR) data as proxy for FCEV markets, the choice and timespan of the proxy data matter and affects siting results. The use of drive time as a metric for estimating FCEV customers can be made more robust with the inclusion of gasoline sales and/or traffic data.In terms of HFS, the northeast could see their number of stations evolve from approximately 100 stations to around 1,000 stations should FCEVs successfully deploy in those areas. TGFC systems would then be able to serve those HFSs with renewable hydrogen. However, at high FCEV market penetration levels, having one-hub of hydrogen production risks a net increase in emissions when accounting for delivery of the hydrogen. Another potential source of demand for hydrogen can come from refineries which require it in refining processing steps. 5 TGFC hubs were estimated to support half of California's HFSs in 2021 along with 6 of the refineries in southern California.Finally, when using novel feedstocks or looking for unique applications for TGFC systems, dairy manure and food waste to augment the northeast biogas supply make sense from an emissions standpoint, but using fats, oils, and grease (FOG) does not. Also, TGFCs can support electric bus fleets as well as supplement revenue through the sale of hydrogen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiated the Controlled Hydrogen Fleet and Infrastructure Demonstration and Validation Project through a competitive solicitation process in 2003. The purpose of this project is to conduct an integrated field validation that simultaneously examines the performance of fuel cell vehicles and the supporting hydrogen infrastructure. Four industry teams have signed cooperative agreements with DOE and are supporting plans for more than 130 fuel cell vehicles and 20 hydrogen refueling stations over the 5-year project duration. This paper provides a status update covering the progress accomplished by the demonstration and validation project over the last six months; the first composite data products from the project were published in March 2006. The composite data products aggregate individual performance into a range that protects the intellectual property of the companies involved, while publicizing the progress the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is making as a whole relative to the program objectives and timeline. Updates to previously published composite data products, such as on-road fuel economy and vehicle/infrastructure safety, will be presented along with new composite data products, such as fuel cell stack efficiency and refueling behavior.

Download or read book Experimenting for Sustainable Transport written by Remco Hoogma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological change is a central feature of modern societies and a powerful source for social change. There is an urgent task to direct these new technologies towards sustainability, but society lacks perspectives, instruments and policies to accomplish this. There is no blueprint for a sustainable future, and it is necessary to experiment with alternative paths that seem promising. Various new transport technologies promise to bring sustainability benefits. But as this book shows, important lessons are often overlooked because the experiments are not designed to challenge the basic assumptions about established patterns of transport choices. Learning how to organise the process of innovation implementation is essential if the maximum impact is to be achieved - it is here that strategic niche management offers new perspectives. The book uses a series of eight recent experiments with electric vehicles, carsharing schemes, bicycle pools and fleet management to illustrate the means by which technological change must be closely linked to social change if successful implementation is to take place. The basic divide between proponents of technological fixes and those in favour of behavioural change needs to be bridged, perhaps indicating a third way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrogen and fuel cells are vital technologies to ensure a secure and CO2-free energy future. Their development will take decades of extensive public and private effort to achieve technology breakthroughs and commercial maturity. Government research programs are indispensable for catalyzing the development process. This report maps the IEA countries' current efforts to research, develop and deploy the interlocking elements that constitute a "hydrogen economy", including CO2 capture and storage when hydrogen is produced out of fossil fuels. It provides an overview of what is being done, and by whom, covering an extensive complexity of national government R & D programs. The survey highlights the potential for exploiting the benefits of the international cooperation. This book draws primarily upon information contributed by IEA governments. In virtually all the IEA countries, important R & D and policy efforts on hydrogen and fuel cells are in place and expanding. Some are fully-integrated, government-funded programs, some are a key element in an overall strategy spread among multiple public and private efforts. The large amount of information provided in this publication reflects the vast array of technologies and logistics required to build the "hydrogen economy."--Publisher description.
