CHICAGO, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- Gasoline-driven vehicles in the U.S. need to average more than 57 miles per gallon (mpg) before they can become less expensive to operate than battery-electric vehicles (BEV), researchers at the University of Michigan (UM) said. But this standard varies grea...
3. Funding Alternative Infrastructure: Additional revenue generated from increased fuel costs can be directed towards developing and improving public transportation systems, cycling lanes, and electric vehicle charging stations. This infrastructure encourages greener transportation options. 1. 减少排放:更高的燃...
This study investigates the economic validity of the diffusion of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and all-electric vehicles (EVs), employing a cost-benefit analysis from the social point of view. This research assumes the amount of NOx and tank-to-wheel CO2 emissions and gasoline use reduction as ...
efficiency advantage over the PEFC at the system level. The higher-temperature waste heat of these systems can be used to drive air compressors, to assist in the reforming of hydrocarbon fuels, and, in the case of the MCFC and SOFC, to produce steam for thermalelectric generationor other...
Operating the cell at low potentials or high temperatures enhanced the electric power output. Alternatives to externally heated SR are partial oxidation (POX) and autothermal reforming (ATR). POX refers to the process in which the fuel is partially combusted under substoichiometric conditions to ...
(Transportation Research Board2006; Sivak and Schoettle2012; Fontaras et al.2017). It is worth mentioning that this paper mainly focuses on internal combustion engine vehicles. Although various electric vehicle models have been introduced in the freight market, electric heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) ...
a fuel cell and a smaller battery for energy recovery and acceleration support. This process is efficient and clean, with water vapor being the only emission. FCEVs can be refueled quickly, much like conventional vehicles, and offer a longer range than most battery electric vehicles (BEVs). ...
Fuel cell electric bus consumption benchmarking. Plug-in Hybrid Buses and Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Buses. Overview of further options for net-zero buses. Hydrogen internal combustion vs fuel cell efficiency comparisons. Benchmarking and Cost Analysis. ...
Nonetheless, providing options to reduce the GHG coming from ICEs in the short- and medium-term will still be fundamental in fulfilling the global emission targets while the phasing-out of the combustion vehicle takes place or in places where the change to electric powertrains could represent a ...
In addition, it relives the need of dc-link capacitor reducing the cost and volume. Eliminating dc link capacitor helps in retaining the modulated information at the input of the three-phase inverter. It needs only 33% (one third) modulation of the inverter devices to generate balanced three...
