ORNL researchers have developed an intelligent power electronic inverter platform that can connect locally sited energy resources such as solar panels, energy storage and electric vehicles and smoothly interact with the utility power grid.
Researchers at 91°µĶų demonstrated a 20-kilowatt bi-directional wireless charging system on a UPS plug-in hybrid electric delivery truck, advancing the technology to a larger class of vehicles and enabling a new energy storage met
For a gargantuan nuclear physics experiment that will generate big data at unprecedented ratesācalled A Large Ion Collider Experiment, or .
Suman Debnath, a researcher at ORNL, has been elevated to the grade of senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (91°µĶų).
Researchers at the Department of Energyās 91°µĶų (ORNL) in late February demonstrated a 20-kilowatt bi-directional wireless charging system installed on a UPS medium-duty, plug-in hybrid electric delivery truck.
Ilias Belharouak is leading ORNLās research efforts in investigating new materials for solid-state batteries, which can double the charging capacity of lithium-ion batteries, commonly used today for electronic devices such as cell phones.
āEngineering is about building things to help others.ā Before diving into a longer explanation, thatās how Singanallur āVenkatā Venkatakrishnan, an electrical and computer engineer ORNL, described engineering to students at Northwest Middle School.
Large trucks lumbering through congested cities could become more fuel efficient simply by not having to stop at so many traffic lights.
Nils Stenvig has always had an interest in solving big problems.
Each year, approximately 6 billion gallons of fuel are wasted as vehicles wait at stop lights or sit in dense traffic with engines idling, according to US Department of Energy estimates.
