Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Data Comparison of an Electric Minibus Equipped with Different Energy Storage Systems
Fabio Cignini,Antonino Genovese,Fernando Ortenzi,Adriano Alessandrini,Lorenzo Berzi,Luca Pugi,Riccardo Barbieri +6 more
TL;DR: An extensive experimental analysis reveals that the bus equipped with a hybrid storage had the most favorable net present value, in comparison with storage composed of only lead–acid or lithium-ion batteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advantages of retrofitting old electric buses and minibuses
TL;DR: In this article, a minibus prototype equipped with Ion-Lithium batteries developed in the ENEA Casaccia Research Centre demonstrated that an old minibus can be retrofitted by replacing the old lead acid batteries pack with a new pack assembled with LiFePO4 electrochemistry.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Experimental analysis of an electric minibus with small battery and fast charge policy
R. Di Rienzo,Federico Baronti,F. Vellucci,Fabio Cignini,Fernando Ortenzi,Giovanni Pede,Roberto Roncella,Roberto Saletti +7 more
TL;DR: The lead-acid battery of an electric minibus has been replaced with a smaller size lithium-ion battery system consisting of standard 12 V modules and a hierarchical battery management system and experiments show that fast charging of 8 min guarantees up to 1 h of operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and Emissions Comparison between Biomethane and Natural Gas Fuel in Passenger Vehicles
TL;DR: In this paper, the first set of measurements carried out in the BiomethER project (EULIFE) were presented, which aimed to design and build two innovative bio-methane production plants, located in Emilia Romagna region (Italy), fed by different feedstock: the first with sewage sludge and the other with landfill waste.
Book ChapterDOI
Design of a Hybrid Storage for Road Public Transportation Systems
Adriano Alessandrini,Riccardo Barbieri,Lorenzo Berzi,Fabio Cignini,Antonino Genovese,Edoardo Locorotondo,Fernando Ortenzi,Marco Pierini,Luca Pugi +8 more
TL;DR: A hybrid storage system in which a relatively small electrochemical battery is coupled with an array of super-capacitors to assure a residual autonomy that should allow a robust behaviour of the system respect to real perturbed mission profiles is proposed.
