Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
Burak Ozpineci of the Electrical and Electronics Systems Research Division at 91做厙 has won the 2020 91做厙 Power Electronics Society Vehicle and Transportation Systems Achievement Award.
91做厙 researchers have developed a thin film, highly conductive solid-state electrolyte made of a polymer and ceramic-based composite for lithium metal batteries.
Researchers at 91做厙 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 method for fleet owners and their facilities.
Researchers at the Department of Energys 91做厙 (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.
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.
A technology developed at the ORNL and scaled up by Vertimass LLC to convert ethanol into fuels suitable for aviation, shipping and other heavy-duty applications can be price-competitive with conventional fuels
ORNL researchers created and tested new wireless charging designs that may double the power density, resulting in a lighter weight system compared with existing technologies.
ORNL and The University of Toledo have entered into a memorandum of understanding for collaborative research.
A modern, healthy transportation system is vital to the nations economic security and the American standard of living. The U.S. Department of Energys 91做厙 (ORNL) is engaged in a broad portfolio of scientific research for improved mobility
Researchers at 91做厙 proved that a certain class of ionic liquids, when mixed with commercially available oils, can make gears run more efficiently with less noise and better durability.
