Gas telephone vehicles gives you extra effective and purifier transportation. notwithstanding, we use our vehicles for transportation in basic terms five% of the time. whilst parked, the gas cellphone within the vehicle can produce electrical energy from hydrogen, that's purifier and extra effective than the present electrical energy method, producing beneficial waste items within the kind of warmth and clean water. The produced electrical energy, warmth and clean water will be fed into the respective grids or be used at once in our residence, place of work or the varsity of our youngsters. the mandatory hydrogen could be made from gasoline (natural fuel, biogas) or electrical energy (hydro, wind, sunlight, etc.). after all, those gas mobilephone vehicles can exchange all strength vegetation around the world. consequently, the auto as energy plant can create an built-in, effective, trustworthy, versatile, fresh, shrewdpermanent and custom-made delivery, power and water approach: a true paradigm shift. the automobile as energy Plant is built at Delft Technical college, within the eco-friendly Village: a sustainable, energetic and entrepreneurial setting the place we find, research and exhibit tips on how to clear up societys pressing demanding situations. the fairway Village unifies shrewdpermanent, imaginitive strengths of scientists and marketers and turns rules and visions into reports and commercially plausible services and products. leading edge strength that units horizons for a brand new, sustainable, eco-friendly and round financial system.

Indd 42 08-01-14 17:09 43 So if we want to study the efficiency of the power system we have to compare power system efficiencies and not only the individual power plant efficiencies at full load. The efficiencies of individual base load power plants are of course much higher than the average efficiency. For example at present, the efficiency of newly built gas fired power plants, combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), is 60% at full load. Using higher turbine inlet temperatures, this can increase to about 65% in the future (18).
Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity, using hydrogen stored in the fuel tank of the car and oxygen from the air. At present almost all large car manufacturers develop and demonstrate their fuel cell cars. Government programs in many countries stimulate the development of fuel cells, hydrogen production and -distribution and the introduction and demonstration of fuel cell cars (25,26). The fuel-cell car set-up has a fuel cell with a capacity around 100 kW, producing electricity from hydrogen and oxygen to power the electric motor.
Its batteries can deliver some electricity back into the grid. Once today’s low-efficiency combustion engines are replaced by clean, highly efficient fuel cells, our cars may produce electricity and feed it to our houses, offices, schools or the electricity grid. And the waste product of a fuel cell is hot de-mineralized water which we can use for heating and fresh water. So the transport system, the electricity system and the heating and cooling system will develop over time into one interconnected system.
