Research team uses idle trucks to power the grid
Waterloo Engineering researchers are tapping into idled electric vehicles to act as mobile generators and help power overworked and aging electricity grids.
The team, led by Dr. XiaoYu Wu, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, analyzed energy demand on Alberta’s power grid during rush hour and proposes an innovative way to replenish electrical grids with power generated from fuel cells in trucks.
