Low Cost Flywheel Energy Storage for a Fuel Cell Powered Transit Bus
Traditionally, the energy storage requirement for conventional and fuel cell hybrid buses has been satisfied by chemical batteries.
Prime Mover and Energy Storage Considerations for a Hydrogen-Powered Series Hybrid Shuttle Bus
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports show that internal combustion engine-powered vehicles using hydrocarbon fuels account for 75% of national carbon monoxide emissions, 45% of nitrous oxide emissions, and nearly 40% of the volatile organic compound emissions.
Modeling and Simulation of Electric Ships’ Power System Components and their Interaction
Prime power generation on board all-electric ships presents several options that affect fuel consumption, power density, operational effectiveness, and survivability.
Initiation from a Point Anode in a Dielectric Liquid
Many previous studies of electrical breakdowns in dielectric liquids in point-plane geometry have examined the relationships among the breakdown structure (or speed), the electrode geometry (point radius, gap length), and/or voltage.
Some benefits of pulsed alternators as electromagnetic gun power supplies in power systems for future electric ships
An electromagnetic gun provides a new component to be integrated into the power system of an electric ship.
A New Strategy for Representation and Control of Self-Contained Power Systems
Power systems on naval vessels and airplanes are good examples of self-contained power systems. State of the art LEM modules and voltage sensors provide real time current and voltage data.
A New Strategy for Management and Reconfiguration of Self-Contained Power Systems
Power systems on naval vessels and airplanes are good examples of self-contained power systems. These types of systems are useful for testing reconfiguration, particularly ones that might be implemented continuously, not just under compromised conditions.
High Speed Generator Trade Study
The paper, “High Speed Generator Trade Study,” by Kent Davey, John Herbst, James Bravo, Reg Ricket, and Bruce Gamble, was presented at the ASNE Electric Machines Technology Symposium in May 2006.
HTS Trapped Field Magnet-Based Motors for Naval Applications
High Temperature Superconductor trapped field magnets (TFM) have matured to the point that they now offer serious possibilities for significantly increasing power density in electromechanical devices.
