Integration of Zero Emission Vehicles into Microgrids and Hydrogen Energy Systems
FY 2024-25
Summary
With increased renewable energy sources and zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs), integration of electrical power generation with energy demands of vehicles is critical. The objective is to develop transition technologies towards a lower emission electrical power grid that is fully integrated with ZEVs. Dr. Fowler's research will demonstrate how power generation systems can operate more effectively while also providing hydrogen energy storage through 'Power-to-gas', hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles, as well as providing charging for electric vehicles. The program includes the study of battery and fuel cell reliability, and the optimum vehicle power train configuration which is limiting market development.
