Global EV Outlook 2020 Entering the decade of electric drive? Global EV Outlook 2020 Abstract Abstract The Global EV Outlook is an annual publication that identifies and discusses recent developments in electric mobility across the globe. It is developed with the support of the members of the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI). Combining historical analysis with projections to 2030, the report examines key areas of interest such as electric vehicle and charging infrastructure deployment, ownership cost, energy use, carbon dioxide emissions and battery material demand. This edition features case studies on transit bus electrification in Kolkata (India), Shenzhen (China), Santiago (Chile) and Helsinki (Finland). The report includes policy recommendations that incorporate learning from frontrunner markets to inform policy makers and stakeholders that consider policy frameworks and market systems for electric vehicle adoption. This edition also features an update on the performance and costs of batteries. It further extends the life cycle analysis conducted in Global EV Outlook 2019, assessing the technologies and policies that will be needed to ensure that EV battery end-of-life treatment contributes to the fullest extent to sustainability and CO2 emissions reductions objectives. Finally, it analyses how off-peak electricity demand charging, dynamic controlled charging (V1G) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) could mitigate the impact of EVs on peak demand, facilitate the integration of variable renewables and reduce electricity generation capacity needs. rights reserved. rights PAGE | 2 All IEA.

    Assessment Method of Fuel Consumption and Emissions of Aircraft During Taxiing on Airport Surface Under Given Meteorological Conditions

    sustainability Article Assessment Method of Fuel Consumption and Emissions of Aircraft during Taxiing on Airport Surface under Given Meteorological Conditions Ming Zhang * , Qianwen Huang, Sihan Liu and Huiying Li College of Civil Aviation, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 210016, China; [email protected] (Q.H.); [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (H.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 27 September 2019; Accepted: 31 October 2019; Published: 2 November 2019 Abstract: Reducing fuel consumption and emissions of aircrafts during taxiing on airport surfaces is crucial to decrease the operating costs of airline companies and construct green airports. At present, relevant studies have barely investigated the influences of the operation environment, such as low visibility and traffic conflict in airports, reducing the assessment accuracy of fuel consumption and emissions. Multiple aircraft ground propulsion systems on airport surfaces, especially the electric green taxiing system, have attracted wide attention in the industry. Assessing differences in fuel consumption and emissions under different taxiing modes is difficult because environmental factors were hardly considered in previous assessments. Therefore, an innovative study was conducted based on practical running data of quick access recorders and climate data: (1) Low visibility and taxiing conflict on airport surfaces were inputted into the calculation model of fuel consumption to set up a modified model of fuel consumption and emissions. (2) Fuel consumption and emissions models under full- and single-engine taxiing, external aircraft ground propulsion systems, and electric green taxiing system could accurately estimate fuel consumption and emissions under different taxiing modes based on the modified model.

    The Role for Federal R&D on Alternative Automotive

    THE ROLE FOR FEDERAL R&D ON ALTERNATIVE AUTOMOTIVE POWER SYSTEMS by John B. Heywood Henry D. Jacoby Lawrence H. Linden MIT Energy Laboratory Report No. MIT-EL 74-013 November 1974 Contract No. EN-44166 Report # MIT-EL 74-013 REPORT SUBMITTED TO: THE OFFICE OF ENERGY R & D POLICY NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION by the ENERGY LABORATORY Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts THE ROLE FOR FEDERAL R & D ON ALTERNATIVE AUTOMOTIVE POWER SYSTEMS prepared by John B. Heywood Henry D. Jacoby Lawrence H. Linden with the assistance of Patricia D. Mooney Joe M. Rife November 1974 4 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Within the past few years, reductions in air pollutant emissions and fuel consumption of the U.S. passenger car fleet have become important public policy goals. The automobile manufacturers have responded to government regulation or changing market pressures in these areas by modifying the internal combustion engine (ICE), the powerplant which has dominated the passenger car application for almost sixty years. There are, however, alternatives to the ICE which may offer substantial improvements in emissions and fuel economy, but to many people the industry appears reluctant to deal seriously with them, and a Federally sponsored research and development (R & D) program has been called for. This report examines the question: Is it appropriate for the Federal Government to support R & D on alternative automotive powerplants? This issue is highly controversial. Some argue that emissions regulations and the high level of importance given to fuel economy by car buyers give the manufacturers strong and clear incentives for improvements in these areas.

    breathe cleaner air Electric Trams: Alternative Fuel Vehicles At Cape Cod National Seashore National Park Service Expands Alternative Fuels Fleet If you’re among the millions visiting national parks in the U.S. during the next few years, you’ll be breathing a little easier because a growing number of vehicles serving the parks will not be powered by gasoline or diesel fuel. The national parks are adding more vehicles using alternative fuels as part of a federal program to reduce vehicle pollution in those treasured environments. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and the National Park Service (NPS). The objective is to demonstrate how using alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) can improve the environment at the parks, while allowing the vehicles to perform efficiently and cost-effectively. About the Electric Trams Two of the “cleaner air” vehicles at the Cape Cod National Seashoreelectric tram buseshad their engines upgraded and new charging equipment installed. The modified buses originally were “hybrid” vehicles, built to operate on propane and electric power. The engines were converted to all-electric power but they could not keep the pace needed to transport visitors. Now the remodeled buses can more efficiently transport up to 60 passengers at a time from an inland parking lot to Coast Guard Beach. Before the upgrades, the buses had to be taken out of service every few hours for recharging. These remodeled buses rejoin the all-electric fleet at Cape Cod National Seashore, where other all-electric trams have been transporting visitors since1998.

  • Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Vehicle Type

    Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Vehicle Type

    Case Study on HYBRID VEHICLES Power Power sources for hybrid vehicles include: Coal, wood or other solid combustibles Compressed or liquefied natural gas Electricity Electromagnetic fields, Radio waves Electric vehicle battery Human powered e.g. pedaling or rowing Hydrogen On-board or out-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) Petrol or Diesel fuel Solar Wind Vehicle type Two-wheeled and cycle-type vehicles Mopeds, electric bicycles, and even electric kick scooters are a simple form of a hybrid, as power is delivered both via an internal combustion engine or electric motor and the rider's muscles. Early prototypes of motorcycles in the late 19th century used the same principles to power it up. In a parallel hybrid bicycle human and motor power are mechanically coupled at the pedal drive train or at the rear or the front wheel, e.g. using a hub motor, a roller pressing onto a tire, or a connection to a wheel using a transmission element. Human and motor torques are added together. Almost all manufactured Motorized bicycles, Mopeds are of this type. In a series hybrid bicycle (SH) the user powers a generator using the pedals. This is converted into electricity and can be fed directly to the motor giving a chainless bicycle but also to charge a battery. The motor draws power from the battery and must be able to deliver the full mechanical torque required because none is available from the pedals. SH bicycles are commercially available, because they are very simple in theory and manufacturing. The first known prototype and publication of an SH bicycle is by Augustus Kinzel (US Patent 3'884'317) in 1975.
