Electro Energy Providing Cell Bus Project Battery
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Electro Energy, a provider of advanced battery technologies and
associated systems, announced that it has been selected to supply a
customized battery pack utilizing its patented Bipolar Wafer Cell
Nickel Metal Hydride technology to the Georgetown University Methanol
Fuel Cell Transit Bus Integration and Test Project.
EEI will partner with other team members, such as EV America, to
develop the bus design as well as the battery and fuel cell integration
and test plan to deliver a methanol fuel cell transit bus. In addition
to supplying the customized battery pack utilizing its patented Bipolar
Wafer Cell Nickel Metal Hydride technology, Electro Energy will also
provide engineering and technical expertise.
Georgetown University, under a Grant from the Federal Transit
Administration, is developing the next-generation liquid fueled
(methanol) fuel cell power plant to be integrated and tested on a
heavy-duty hybrid electric transit bus. The Fuel Cell System (FCS) is
envisioned to be sufficient to power a 30-foot hybrid electric transit
bus when optimized for operation with an energy storage system on the
bus. The fuel cell system will include a fuel cell, fuel processor
(methanol), controls, air treatment, cooling system, and water
management subsystems.
The objectives of the program are to integrate the fuel cell system
into a modern, 30-foot transit bus hybrid platform, and to demonstrate
the methanol fuel cell bus in varying venues and environments within
several transit agencies.
