Topic: Power to the People: Plug-ins, Hybrids & Batteries

What does the future hold for electric vehicles, plug-in electric hybrids and revolutionary battery technologies? Come find out at the Nano Lunch, sponsored by the International Association of Nanotechnology, on Thursday, July 24, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM.

Dr. Chris Mi, Chief Technical Officer of 1Power Solutions, Inc, will discuss the pros and cons of HEV’s (hybrid electric vehicles), energy storage challenges, power electronics, emerging issues in HEV and new opportunities in HEV-related fields. We will also show clips from the controversial documentary, “Who Killed the Electric Car?”

Dr. Mi is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan, Dearborn. He regularly offers a graduate course in electric and hybrid vehicles. He has also taught courses and led seminars on the subject for the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. He has conducted extensive research and published more than 100 articles on power electrics, motor drives, electric and hybrid vehicles.

1Power Solutions, Inc. specializes in battery management system (BMS) and battery packaging integration for systems integrators. In addition, 1Power has developed patent-pending charge balance ICs (BIC) that ensure all battery cells are charged within +/- 2mV.

We will also welcome guest speaker Jerry Pohorsky, Silicon Valley Chapter President of the Electric Automobile Association, who will discuss the latest developments in the
arena of electric vehicles. The EAA is a nonprofit organization formed in 1967 to promote the use of electrical vehicles as a viable transportation alternative that is efficient, economical and ecological.

Summary

Renewable energy sources and emerging clean technologies will be the theme for this month’s Nano Bio Clean Tech Forum on Tuesday, April 22, sponsored by the Clean Tech Institute in conjunction with the International Association of Nanotechnology.

Roger Bedard, Ocean Energy Leader with the Electric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto (EPRI), will discuss the practical applications of ocean wave energy and tidal energy. EPRI has established two North American collaborative programs to investigate the feasibility of ocean wave and in-stream tidal energy conversion in North America, which brings together the resources and knowledge of 10 state agencies, two federal agencies, 17 electric power utilities, three universities and more than 30 technology developers.

Guest speaker Joseph Heinzmann with Fuel Cell Energy will also discuss the environmental and competitive advantages of utilizing fuel cell energy for commercial purposes. Fuel Cell Energy develops and markets Ultra-Clean stationary fuel cell power plants that generate electricity with up to twice the efficiency of conventional fossil fuel plants – and with virtually no air pollution.

Group discussion will follow each of the presentations.

Registration Fee: $10 for members; $20 for non-members and $30 at the door
