This project seeks to demonstrate a novel integrated Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) Electric Vehicle charging hub aimed at non-domestic workplace and destination market applications. The approach combines innovations in hardware and software and is based on an established pop-up Mini Solar Car Park product designed by the lead partner (3ti Energy Hubs), comp...

This is an exciting project which aims to demonstrate core functionality of an electric (or hybrid-electric) Crew Transfer Vessel's (CTV’s) offshore charging system in its operational environment. The partners and supporters in this proposal are experienced companies who bring existing technology components to the table. During this project the Oasis Powe...

This project investigates the feasibility of a functional vehicle-to-X operating framework that minimises the energy costs of the microgrid using EVs as storage for temporary mismatches between demand and supply. The relevance of the project resides in the increasingly higher frequency of these mismatches because of the intermittent nature of renewables a...

ASSIST aims to establish a sovereign supply chain to empower the UK with a capability for higher voltage Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices at voltage and current ratings that are significantly differentiated from devices currently available on the market. The project will establish manufacturing readiness across three levels of the supply chain to create end ...

MABEL comprises seven work packages aimed at identifying and demonstrating innovations in electrical machine system design that can advance both the efficiency and cost of High Speed Electrical motors and generators. Opportunities are sought that will improve the performance, and ultimately the value proposition, of high value systems used today in direct...

Public description Most vehicles run on fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. Their exhaust gases are responsible for most of the carbon dioxide (associated with global warming) and particulate emissions (that can cause athsma) in the UK at present. Making these vehicles electrically driven moves all emissions away from the tailpipe of the vehicle, and if r...

This project brings together the complementary capability of academic and industrial partners within the Compound Semiconductor (CS) supply chain to drive the development of a new Gallium Nitride (GaN) based process platform for Automotive Power Electronics in-line with the roadmap recently published by the Advanced Propulsion Centre on behalf of the Auto...

To develop new cost-effective solutions for incorporation into Smart Grid Converters, for integration into the Low and Medium Voltage electricity distribution network to release capacity from existing assets and ultimately defer expensive grid reinforcement.

The demonstrator will target early adopters of V2G mostly in the commercial area comprising six sites and 150 V2G enabled EVs. The demonstrator will seek to answer the following research questions: 1.What are the accessible service revenues for V2G systems in real life applications? 2.How can static and dynamic storage be integrated in a single site to op...

This project will develop the technical solutions and commercial business models Smart Hubs. Smart Hubs are 400V micro grid interconnectors combined with energy storage and a floating DC-DC bus that optimise voltages across LV networks and Low Carbon Technologies (LCTs). PV, Wind, EV, V2G, CHP, and Energy Storage are multiple energy vectors that unbalance...

A key challenge facing the UK Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) today is the increasing demand for power being placed on residential networks e.g. by the proliferation of electrical vehicles (EVs) and the move to electro-heat. Also, the increase in distributed generation (DG) is now resulting in unacceptable local voltage rises. This project follows o...

DC/DC converters are essential in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. These electronic devices step-up or step-down the battery voltage to a voltage level that suits the electric motor, the cabin supply or other essential loads. Current DC/DC converters are still expensive and heavy. A consortium of six UK manufacturers (Lotus, Turbo Power System, Indu...
