Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
The future of our planet is intertwined with our transportation needs. Both depend on the invention and adoption of new energy models for cars and other vehicles. Cornell's research community is committed to discovering new energy systems and searching for the best way to integrate these new systems into our daily lives.
These are some of the topics we will examine:
- Energy and environmental (air quality and climate change) impacts analysis on PHEV penetration in Northeast US.
- Utilizing PHEVs as energy storage to incorporate more wind energy into the power systems.
- The effects of incentive programs on PHEV penetrations.
- Developing smart charging stations as an enabling technology for vehicle-to-grid applications.
