Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle DC Fast-charging: The Future just got interesting

Plug-In-Hybrid Electric Vehicle DC Fast Charging: The Future Just Got More Interesting  (Written by Dave Tuttle and edited by Manoj Kumar Mallela, editor of IEEE TEI Newsletter) Electric drive vehicles have the advantage of a much wider variety of locations that can provide refueling.  Home, work and public locations provide a far greater number of potential fueling (recharging) points than the 180,000 gas stations in the U.S.  While the vast majority of charging is performed at home overnight with low or modest rate AC charging, much higher charge rate DC-fast charging (DCFC) enables a direct connection to the DC leads to the vehicle battery for the very fastest rate charging.  DCFC is typically thought most useful for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that have no gasoline engine backup for intercity travel, BEVs that drive an unusually large number of around-town miles every day, or to support any kind of electric vehicle driver who does not have the ability to charge at home (e.g.

ABB Power Consulting Group Announces HVDC Seminar for Utility Planners, Developers

ABB today announced that its independent Power Consulting business will host a two-day, intensive training seminar entitled, “HVDC: Planning, Modeling and Economic Justification.” The seminar, which will take place March 24-25 in Raleigh, includes a two-day training session on High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) planning practices and applications, followed by an optional half-day session on HVDC Economic Modeling on March 26. It is designed for personnel of electric utilities, developers and transmission system operating companies who are involved in the planning, engineering, specification and operation of power transmission systems. The gradual increase in HVDC projects across the US and Canada in recent years can be attributed to several key drivers, such as the power industry’s shift from coal to gas-based generation; the rise of renewable energy and the need for efficient, reliable transmission from remote sources over long distances to load centers; and the growing interest in “i

Green-Energy Inspiration Off the Coast of Denmark

Before dawn one morning in October, a handful of Americans gathered at a lonely pier on Samso, a small Danish island about four hours from Copenhagen. Bundled in layers of fleece and wool, the Americans, mostly from islands off the Maine coast, had come to get a closer look at a wind farm — 10 mighty turbines spinning in the Kattegat strait — that has helped make Samso a symbol for a greener future, one powered entirely by renewable energy. Among them was Marian Chioffi, the bookkeeper at the electric company in Monhegan, Me., whose population of about 60 swells to include hundreds of residents and thousands of tourists in the summer. They — along with generations of artists like Edward Hopper, Rockwell Kent and Jamie Wyeth — have been drawn by the island’s lost-in-time charm and picturesque setting in the Gulf of Maine. Monhegan faces challenges as stark as its beauty. Foremost among them — and the spur for the journey to Denmark — is dependence on expensive, dirty fuels for heating a

Compact Fluorescent Lamp Shipments Continue to Lag

NEMA’s index for compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) shipments registered a year-over-year decline of 14.5 percent in the third quarter of 2014 despite a modest quarterly increase of 1.5 percent. For the first three quarters of 2014, the CFL index decreased 13.1 percent compared to the same period last year. The shipments index for incandescent A-line lamps posted a decline of 62.9 percent (q/q). In contrast, shipments of LED A-line and halogen A-line lamps continued to grow, showing quarterly gains of 53.8 and 37.7 percent, respectively. The proliferation of halogen A-line lamp shipments, and subsequent decline in shipments of incandescent A-line lamps, has resulted in an increase in market share for halogen A-line lamps. Halogen A-line lamps captured a share of 39.9 percent during the quarter, second only to CFLs, which continued to hold a narrow lead with a 41.1 percent share. The share of LED lamp shipments was 5.1 percent, an increase of 2 percentage points. Incandescent A-line lamps f
