Six Minute Charging Technology for Electric Vehicles
1 January 2010 | Green Cars | 1 Comment
If you have an electric vehicle, you may know that the most frustrating moment is when you want to recharge your batteries. Recharging batteries often takes several hours and this is not a good thing because today time is very precious. For these reasons, researchers have tried to find more effective ways to solve the problem and it seems they have succeeded. The EDISON project was initiated by Siemens Energy Sector in Denmark and its main purpose is to develop more efficient charging technology for electric vehicles.
I think EDISON project will be a success because it is coordinated by some very serious research centers (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark Dong Energy, Eurisco R&D center, IBM and Siemens). The real purpose of the EDISON project is to develop a 300KW system that charges the batteries in six minutes, but for beginning researchers planned to create a 43.5KW rapid charge capability for a 20 minute charge on a 400V 63Amp connection. Recharge batteries in just 6 minutes…sounds nice for all EV owners, but switching the batteries on and off in such a short period (6 minutes) could affect the drid. Researchers planned also to test these fast-charging systems using alternative energy (wind powered stations).
