With increasing trends towards off grid and local generation to meet energy needs, as well as the predicted increase in electric vehicles and the associated infrastructure changes required, a whole range of approaches and solutions have been presented to add to a portfolio of energy generation and energy storage offerings. At Powertrain Technology we have recently used our knowledge base in thermodynamics and our simulation expertise to examine some of these proposals for clients, including:
PTL has recently developed a fast and accurate algorithm for the screening, sizing and optimisation of energy storage system which also identifies the best strategy for energy storage, reuse and balancing – Engineering solutions can then be selected through quantifiable energy and financial returns.
